I wish the article had some links to these kits. I have been trying to find the police flasher one and all I seem to find is cheap ones with only a few leds. Anyone know where I can find the police flasher? Thanks

Aliexpress has them, eg.: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003457635092.html

The pcb looks very similar, but is missing the holes to break the light parts away (probably saving money on the drilling).

I too am interested in finding some kits as I recently started soldering and wanted to practice using some kits as it sounds more fun than just practicing on a breadboard.

One site I found while watching a YouTube video was: https://www.electronickits.com/ but I haven't ordered anything yet and really don't know much about them besides they were listed in a video...

I don’t know the vendor you linked either, but Digikey (a huge electronics parts wholesaler) has an entire educational kits section on their site: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/educational-kits/...

Lots of microcontroller stuff in there, but also plenty of simpler hardware electronics projects
