Arduino-Compatible Beginner Starter Kit

Overview

A starter kit for learning Arduino-style programming and electronics in one box. It centres on an Arduino-compatible Uno R3 board and adds a breadboard, jumper wires and a wide range of components, enough for dozens of classic projects, from blinking LEDs to an ultrasonic distance alarm, an IR-remote controller and a stepper-motor driver.

Suited to students, school and university projects, and anyone learning electronics and programming from scratch.

What's in the Kit

The kit's main items are listed below. Contents can vary slightly between batches.

• Uno R3 compatible board with USB cable
• 830-point breadboard, male-male and male-female jumper wires, header strips
• 16×2 LCD, MAX7219 8×8 LED matrix, 4-digit and 1-digit 7-segment displays
• HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, IR receiver with remote, ULN2003 stepper driver
• SG90 servo, 28BYJ-48 5 V stepper motor, mini DC motor
• Resistor assortment, potentiometers, transistors, LEDs, active buzzer, push buttons
• Component organiser box

Typical Applications

• Self-study and first Arduino projects
• School, college and university lab work
• Science fairs and STEM clubs
• Prototyping small sensor and display ideas

Compatibility

Programmed from the free Arduino IDE. The board is compatible with Uno R3 shields and with tutorials written for the Uno.

Important Notes / Safety

• The board in this kit is Arduino-compatible, not an official Arduino product.
• Drive the stepper motor through the ULN2003 driver board, and do not power motors directly from the board's I/O pins.
• Small parts: keep away from young children.
