SparkFun Inventor's Kit for Arduino

This product has been discontinued

zOMG! This kit has it all. It includes the Arduino Uno, the fabled baseplate, and all the sensors you can shake a stick at. The SparkFun Inventor's Kit for Arduino is a box of goodies to get the very beginner started with programmable electronics. It includes all the bits you need to build 14 basic circuits, no soldering required! On top of that, we've joined forces with Oomlout to offer a small booklet to get you started. The SIK comes with everything pictured and a 36 page color printed 'starter' guide. The guide will take a complete novice and get them:

• Blinking LEDs
• Controlling a toy motor
• Controlling a servo
• Making (bad) music
• Responding to buttons
• Twisting a volume knob
• Detecting ambient light
• Reading temperature
• Controlling big devices
• Mixing LED colors

We believe these to be the building blocks of any electronics project. Once these concepts are mastered, very impressive projects are possible using simple recombinations.

Note: No soldering required. We recommend this kit for beginners ages 10 and up.

Note: Because Atmel is moving more and more of their production capacity to surface mount ICs, the DIP packaged ATmega328 is becoming more and more difficult to get. To keep up with demand, we now offer the Arduino Uno with an SMD ATmega328. The board is identical to the PTH version of the Uno, but you won't be able to remove the ATmega328 without some hot-air. This change shouldn't affect most users.

Note: There is an error with CIRC-03. Omit the 10K resistor and hook pin 9 directly to the base of the transistor.

Note: This product is a collaboration with Oomlout. A portion of each sales goes back to them for product support and continued development.
