Today, i received one of the first samples of the new Arduino Educational Starter Kits by RS and i have to admit that beside it’s cool design this educational starter kit is one of the most exiting collections of electronics i have ever tested. It comes in combination with an Arduino Projects Book that gives a detailed description of each Arduino experiment on more than 170 pages. For each project, Massimo Banzi, co-founder of Arduino gives an online video instruction, in which he explains the details. The tutorials start from the very beginning, how to set up your Arduino development environment and explain in simple incremental steps how to build more complex examples, that include all kinds of sensors, motors and even a LCD display (all part of the Arduino Starter Kit).
The entire Arduino Starter kit really contains an impressive collection of electronic components and all parts you need to start immediately. It consists of following major parts:
- Arduino Projects Book
- Arduino UNO Board
- USB Cable
- Breadboard
- Wooden base
- Jumper Wires
- Photoresistor
- Temperature sensor
- Tilt sensor
- LCD screen 16×2 characters
- Lots of LEDs
- DC Motor
- Servo Motor
- Piezo
- H-bridge motor driver
- Optocouplers
- Transistors
- Capacitors
- Diodes and resistors
- Poti
- Buttons
Here are some pictures i took during the unboxing of the Arduino Starter Kit.
