The Starter Kit walks you through the basics of using the Arduino in a hands-on way. You'll learn through building several creative projects. The kit includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic components with a book of 15 projects. Starting the basics of electronics, to more complex projects, the kit will help you control the physical world with sensor and actuators.

Projects you can make:

1.  GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOLS an introduction to the basics
2.  SPACESHIP INTERFACE design the control panel for your star ship
3.  LOVE-O-METER measure how hot-blooded you are
4.  COLOR MIXING LAMP produce any color with a lamp that uses light as an input
5.  MOOD CUE clue people in to how you're doing
6.  LIGHT THEREMIN create a musical instrument you play by waving your hands
7.  KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT play music and make some noise with this keyboard
8.  DIGITAL HOURGLASS a light-up hourglass that can stop you from working too much
9.  MOTORIZED PINWHEEL a colored wheel that will make your head spin
10.  ZOE-TROPE create a mechanical animation you can play forward or reverse
11.  CRYSTAL BALL a mystical tour to answer all your tough questions
12.  KNOCK LOCK tap out the secret code to open the door
13.  TOUCHY-FEEL LAMP a lamp that responds to your touch
14.  TWEAK THE ARDUINO LOGO control your personal computer from your Arduino
15.  HACKING BUTTONS create a master control for all your devices!
