Arduino Essentials Learning Kit

Self-Contained Kit for Learning Electronics, Microprocessors, and Programming

This Arduino-based prototyping kit will enable you to learn the fundamentals of electronics and programming in an easy to use "plug and play" system that requires no soldering or previous electronics experience. Delivered pre-assembled in a protective metal carrying case that holds all of its component parts securely, the Essentials learning kit includes step-by-step startup instructions (for Windows, Mac, or Linux) and 3 printed lessons: Blinking an LED, Blinking 6 LEDs, and LCD Display. Additional online instructions and programs are easily accessible as well as an online community to share, build, and post questions with other enthusiasts and view video demonstrations and instructions for numerous projects. Just download the necessary Arduino software and you are ready to begin.

Note: You can view the Arduino download instructions by opening the DOCUMENTS tab (above).

Learn how to read and gather data from input sensors (such as an accelerometer, CDS cell, or temperature sensor), process this data and interact with various other output devices (such as LEDs, Liquid crystal displays, and the serial port on your computer). When these skills are combined, the number of projects and ideas are virtually limited only by one's imagination

Included are components and modules that will allow for detection and interaction with the environment and others around you like Light Emitting Diodes, Relays, a Buzzer, a Wireless Transceiver, Light, and sound sensors.  With the components and documented projects, you will be able to build and modify many projects such as...

• Motion and light detection / alarms
• Various data recorders
• Infrared signal decoder and signal repeater
• LED Color fading/changing devices
• Digital combination security device
• Countdown timer
• Infrared remote controlled devices
• Memory games
