# Crazy Circuits Hands-On and Q&A (AddOhms Live!)


In April 2017 I backed a project on [Kickstarter called "Crazy Circuits."](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/browndoggadgets/crazy-circuits-unique-stem-projects-delivered-mont) It looked like a cool concept that was well developed, so I even included it in the Baldengineer Newsletter. I do not typically promote Kickstarter projects--unless they are exceptional in some way. I liked the concept of circuits that worked with existing LEGO-sized boards and pieces. Their shipping was a couple of months off, but nothing compared to some Kickstarter disasters. I received [my Crazy Circuits](https://www.browndoggadgets.com/) kit in November, compared to the promised September.

The product concept is simple enough I could not put the time into a full write-up or an [AddOhms Tutorial video](http://www.addohms.com/). So, instead, I featured it on an AddOhms Live stream. For example, to connect an LED to a battery, just snap in some conductive "tape." In the video, I am building my first two circuits ever. I do think the ribbon takes a bit of practice. However, as I said earlier, I like that it adapts to existing LEGO bricks rather well.

If you know someone interested in electronics but afraid of soldering, I think the Crazy Circuits kits are an interesting option. The case they come in is nice. (I know, strange thing to throw out there, but I do like the sorting case.)

After the hands-on, which lasts about 30 minutes, I answer viewer questions. These questions cover op-amps, LEDs, and capacitors.
