This kit walks you through the basics of using the Arduinoin a hands-on way. You'll learn through building several creative projects. Thekit includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic componentswith a book of 15 projects. Starting the basics of electronics, to more complexprojects, the kit will help you control the physical world with sensor andactuators.

The projects you can complete using the parts in thekit are:

01 GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOLS an introduction to the conceptsyou'll need to use this kit

02 SPACESHIP INTERFACE design to control panel for yourstartship

03 LOVE-O-METER measure how hot-blooded you are

04 COLOR MIXING LAMP produce any color with a lamp that useslight as an input

05 MOOD CUE clue people in to how you're doing

06 LIGHT THEREMIN create a musical instrument you play bywaving your hands

07 KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT play music and make some noise withthis keyboard

08 DIGITAL HOURGLASS a light-up hourglass that can stop youfrom working too much

09 MOTORIZED PINWHEEL a color wheel that will have your headspinning

10 ZOETROPE create a mechanical animation you can playforward or reverse

11 CRYSTAL BALL a mystical tour to answer all your toughquestion

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 computerfrom your Arduino

15 HACKING BUTTONS create a master control for all yourdevices!

Once you’ve mastered this knowledge, you’ll have a paletteof software and circuits that you can use to create something beautiful, andmake someone smile with what you invent.

Then build it, hack it and share it. Because Arduino is you!
