SparkFun Arduino Starter Kit

Description: The Arduino Starter Kit is a great gift for beginners and weathered professionals alike. Included is a multitude of inputs, outputs, and sensors to get you started in the wonderful world of Arduino. Checkout all the included goodies:

Included (if a link shows out of stock, dont worry, the kits are separate):

• Arduino Duemilanove ATmega328 - the latest Arduino USB board, fully assembled and tested.
• 6' USB A to B cable - USB provides power for up to 500mA (enough for most projects) and is ample length to connect to your desktop or laptop USB port.
• 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.
• Piezo Vibration Sensor - A sensor that allows the detection of vibration, movement, even musical drum beats.
• 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 - Because big buttons are easier to hit.
• 330 Ohm Resistors - 5 current limiting resistors for LEDs, and strong pull-up resistors.
