SparkFun Inventor's Kit for Arduino

SparkFun Inventor's Kit for Arduino

Description: This Arduino Kit includes the new 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 12 basic circuits, no soldering required! On top of that, SparkFun has joined forces with Oomlout to offer a small booklet to get you started. The Arduino kit 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: 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. We have historically seen a very low number of Arduino boards fail, so this should not be an issue. You will get an SMD OR PTH Uno. You do not have a choice. We will use whichever we have on hand. As the supply issues go away, we will have more control over this.

Note: Our first batch of the Arduino SMD boards have a problem with the bootloader. If you are having trouble with your board, please contact techsupport@sparkfun.com. So just let us know if you have an issue and we'll correct it!
