Review: Brilliant Product! Lots of fun. - This kit is awesome. I highly recommend this to anyone that has an interest in electronics and/or programming. While I am a seasoned programmer, I had no electronics experience prior to purchasing this kit. Recently I've found myself yearning to build electronic projects and figured this would be a good place to start given it's a fairly comprehensive starter kit. First, I'll start with the packaging. The packaging on this kit is very sexy, much like an Apple product. The design and style are simple and beautiful, the various items included in the kit are all nicely packaged in their individual boxes, and everything fits together very nicely. The unboxing feels like an experience. I realize some people may not care about the packaging, but if you're considering giving this kit as a gift, it makes a difference and will have an impact. As far as all the components included in the kit, I'm not an expert but it feels like a great starter kit and has a lot of very useful components in it, as well as lots of goodies and extras. There's enough in this kit to tackle a lot of projects and it feels like a solid base to start from. Some people have mentioned that you can purchase all these components cheaper if you source them out individually. I highly doubt the hours one would waste tracking down everything individually would justify the savings. After all this kit is not terribly expensive for what you get. Not to mention, one of the best things in this kit is the book. It's got lots of great projects in it that teach you both electronics and programming in the process. It's well written and easy to understand, even for a novice to electronics such as myself. As a programmer I do have to speak to the programming side of the book which in my opinion could be a bit more detailed for those who do not have experience with programming. That said, it's better than average and I do feel you'll learn to code in the process of going thru these projects. Overall, it feels like a well thought out and thurough course, with each chapter building on the next. In sum, this kit is really fun. I have no hesitation recommending this product. I guarantee you will thoroughly enjoy it, have a lot of fun, and learn some things in the process. This kit would make a fantastic gift for anyone interested in programming and/or electronics, and would also be a great thing for parents/grandparents and their kids to do together.
Review: A solid basic kit for an introduction to micro controllers. - This kit by Arduino is aimed at an audience that has little to no electronics or programing knowledge, so it is a nice, easy and practical way to get started. It does a good job of introducing both electronics and programing. The Arduino programming interface is pretty basic, but gets the job done. The programing interface contains the code for each project in this kit, which is a definite plus. It would have been nice if the programing software had come with the kit on a disk, but it is easily available for download. I would also recommend following the getting started instructions from the Arduino web site as it has some picture links to help with the non standard driver installation. For the programmers out there, a simple search will lead you to a Visual Studio add on that gives you the extra features of a full IDE with intellisense support. There is a beta version of a debugger that is also looking pretty good. As already noted by other reviewers, the print in the book is a bit small, and the mounting board seems a bit sketchy. Since the Arduino Uno doesn't come with any kind of base, something is much better than nothing unless you want to solder up a prototyping shield. I put four small rubber feet on the bottom of my Uno before snugging it to the supplied base. Be careful when tightening down the screws as there is nothing between the wood base and the soldered component ends on the bottom of the Uno. Even with the rubber feet I used to keep it off the wood, over tightening will flex the board. Overall, this is a fun and educational kit. It has you up and doing things in very little time while still teaching the basics. In my opinion, the activities are much better than just learning different ways to blink an LED like my other kit. For me, fun projects always make learning go faster. After finishing the projects in this kit, you should have a basic grasp of how things work and have a foundation for moving on in the world of electronics and micro controllers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I get a parts list of what is included in this kit?**

**Q: Amazon says that this starter kit is frequently bought together with "Wall Adapter Power Supply - 9V DC 650mA". Do I need to buy this power supply?**
A: No, Arduino gets power (and is programmed) from a computer via a USB cable that is included in the box.  The kit also comes with an adapter to hook up a 9v battery, but I haven't tried it yet.  If you wanted to plug in your arduino to a wall socket for power once you finished your project you would need some sort of power adapter like the adapter you listed.

**Q: does this include a solderless breadboard?  specs on breadboard?**
A: Hi, Yes it includes a small solderless bread board. The breadboard is approximately 2.25 X 3.25 inches and is more than adequate for all the projects in the kit.Hope that helps

**Q: does the beginner kit come with programming software?**
A: It doesn't come with the kit, but you can download it for free from their website with full instructions on how to install it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic kit!
*by J***S on March 27, 2014*

I had been debating buying an Arduino kit for a while and I was back and forth about whether or not to spend the $99 on this kit or get one of the third-party kits for half the price. I ultimately decided to get this one because it's the "official" one from Arduino and I figured if there was any problems with it, I would have their tech support / customer service available. The first thing that I noticed with the kit is how well it was packaged and organized; even though it's a beginner's kit, everything had a lot of though put into it. I really liked the balsa wood platform that you attach the Uno and breadboard to, it not only provides a convenient base for everything, but also gives the electronics a little bit more protection in my opinion.All the little extras like the cardboard "panels" and wooden holders for the colored gels are nice as well, especially if you are going to be using this kit to instruct children. I've only worked through about half of the projects so far, but the book is very good at explaining concepts and expanding on previous projects. I have some previous programming experience with C and JavaScript, so picking up on the conventions and syntax used in the programming portion was pretty intuitive for me, but also is explained well enough for someone with little to know programming experience. They also include all the sketches (program code) in the Arduino IDE when you download it, so if you don't want to or aren't that interested in the programming side of things, you can just open the files that are in the book. As far as the physical portion goes, the book included both a pictorial diagram of the Arduino/breadboard and connections, as well as electrical schematics to help you understand how everything is wired and learn how to visualize circuits to help you build them in the future. Overall I think that I made the wise choice in getting this kit over a cheaper version just based on all the little extras and the great organization of the kit and I would recommend this to anyone looking to get started with Arduino and physical computing.
