Sparkfun Starter Kit for Arduino - Flex in USA - sku: DEV-10174


Description: The Arduino Starter Kit is a great raw parts re-fill for beginners and weathered professionals alike. This version comes with the new Arduino Uno. Also included is a multitude of inputs, outputs, and sensors to get your workbench back up to par. If you're just getting started with Arduino, we recommend the SparkFun Inventor's Kit that comes with a printed manual.


Included:


Arduino Uno - the latest Arduino USB board, fully assembled and tested.


6' USB A to B cable


Miniature breadboard - Excellent for making circuits and connections off the Arduino. Breadboard may come in various colors.


Male to Male jumper wires - These are high quality wires that allow you to connect the female headers on the Arduino to the components and breadboard.


Flex Sensor - Originally designed for the Nintendo Power Glove, now you too can measure flex!


SoftPot - Measure position along the softpot by looking at the change in resistance. It's like a touch sensitive volume slider.


Photocell - A sensor to detect ambient light. Perfect for detecting when a drawer is opened or when night-time approaches.


Thermistor - A sensor for detecting ambient temperature and temperature changes.


Tri-Color LED - Because everyone loves a blinky. Use this LED to PWM mix any color you need.


Basic LEDs - Light emitting diodes make great general indicators.


Linear trim pot - Also known as a variable resistor, this is a device commonly used to control volume, contrast, and makes a great general user control input.


Buzzer - Make wonderful, brain splitting noises, alarms, and possibly music!


12mm button

330 Ohm Resistors - 5 current limiting resistors
10k Ohm Resistors


This kit may come with Arduino Uno SMD Edition or PTH version.

Great kit! However... . This kit comes with everything I needed to start learning about Arduino in more depth. However, it does NOT have the latest board. I received a R2 board, when the latest board is R3. This needs to be updated either on the product page, or R3 boards shipped out. Otherwise, it is a great quality product.
Sparkfun Starter Kit for Arduino - Flex Reviews
Great kit . The kit is great; it's the perfect starting point for anyone interested in learning about microcontrollers. If you know anything about programming in C++/c#/Java, you'll be able to jump right in.
Sparkfun Starter Kit for Arduino - Flex Opinions
Great kit with minor down-falls. . It's great with getting you started. But, it says you get the latest Arduino Uno. Which I didn't. I got an R2 Arduino Uno, when the latest is a R3 Arduino Uno. Little disappointed, but great service and pricing other than that.
Stinks! . This product stinks! No, I mean it literally stinks. I'm not sure what the smell is, but I think it may have been stored in a smoker's lung. On top of a barbecue. Among burning tires. After I bought it and opened the box I let it sit for a week to air out. It helped quite a bit, but last time I picked up one of the pieces I could still smell the weird smokey scent from normal sitting distance.
