Budget Pack for Arduino (Arduino Uno R3)

It includes:

  • Arduino Uno w/Atmega328 – The latest and greatest Arduino revision R3, assembled and ready to go, including 4 rubber feet to protect the board from the worktable
  • 3′ USB cable – Perfect for connecting your Arduino to a computer
  • Half-sized Breadboard – 400 connection points, plenty of room for beginner projects, with 2 power rails on the side. Can be rubber-banded to an Arduino to make a 1-penny devboard
  • 75 flexible breadboard wires in 8 colors, perfect for use with the solderless breadboard.
  • 1K & 10K potentiometer – these pots have 0.1″ spacing and fit very nicely into a breadboard without modification
  • 2 small pushbuttons – Snap into the breadboard for button inputs
  • 5 bright red diffused LEDs (250mcd) – indicators, blinkies, bright enough to see in the day, but diffused so that they are visible from all angles.
  • Red, green and blue ultra-bright LED – Can be used on their own, or color-mixed to make nearly any color in the rainbow!
  • 5 100 ohm resistors – They can be used to protect pin outputs when starting out
  • 5 1K resistors – Good for use as LED limiting resistors
  • 5 10K resistors – Great for pullups & pulldowns
  • CdS photocell – A light sensor!

Here is an excellent tutorial (a little outdated, though) to get you started:

http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/

Lesson Plan:
Follow these lessons to get started

•Lesson 0
Pre-flight check…Is your Arduino and computer ready?
•Lesson 1
The “Hello World!” of electronics, a simple blinking light
•Lesson 2
Sketches, variables, procedures and hacking code
•Lesson 3
Breadboards, resistors and LEDs, schematics, and basic RGB color-mixing
•Lesson 4
The serial library and binary data – getting chatty with Arduino and crunching numbers
•Lesson 5
Buttons & switches, digital inputs, pull-up and pull-down resistors, if/if-else statements, debouncing and your first contract product design.
•Lesson 6
LEDs in more detail, Kirchoff’s Voltage Law, Ohm’s Law and a peek at the potentiometer
