Getting started with Arduino - The Easiest Way Ever!
So, like so many out there you're wanting to get started with Arduino or you've been tinkering for a while but would like an easy way to learn what's needed and eliminate the frustration often associated with the process. Well, we have what could be the most perfect answer to that wish...
Bright But Easy Guides
MindKits kit review guy John Boxall has written a start to finish set of guides which will inject the perfect dose of Arduino fun along with just the right amount of world changing knowledge which gives you everything you need to build your own projects with the confidence of a trained professional.
Kits For Each Tutorial
What's more, the team at MindKits have put together Arduino Tutorial Packs which give you everything you need to complete the lesson so you know the kit you have works just the way it should. Each kit builds upon the contents of the previous kit so you're never double buying anything and by the end of the tutorials you have both the experience and the right kit to build pretty much any project of your choice.
Express Route to Arduino
Just think of these guides as Neo learning Kung Fu via knowledge download with his Matrix style chair and brain piercing needle. Well, this is just like that but with less brain piercing....and no alternate reality plot twist. The reality is that these guides take you through what you need to know about tinkering with Arduino and without the frustration.
So, check out the links below and grab some kit from the MindKits store and you'll be pumping Arduino knowledge into your brain before you can say 'Really? Tim from MindKits used a Matrix analogy? That's so last decade.'
Happy tinkering!

MindKits Arduino Tutorials
Pick up all the needed kit for each tutorial here and make learning Arduino fun and stress free. The kits have everything needed for each tutorial but leave out anything in the kits for previous tutorials. This means you'll never have to buy something twice and always have just what you need to make your way through the tutorial (we do pop a few extra resistors in there though as they're always handy). Remember, you can pick up most items on MindKits if you want to skip a tutorial too.
