Description: This new version of the Arduino Inventor's Kit now includes a flex sensor, a softpot, and a newer better trimpot. The 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, we've joined forces with Oomlout to offer a small booklet to get you started. The 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: This kit will not include a base plate. We're pretty excited about how it's all coming together, but there are still some problems. We're working on getting a plastic plate to hold the Arduino next to the bread board. It's shown in the documentation, and it's coming! But we did not want to hold up this kit any longer. We will release a new kit once it's here and offer the plate separately as well.
Also, we do not yet have examples for the Softpot or the Flex sensor. We are doing our best to update all the documentation.
