Review on πŸ”Œ Arduino Official Starter Kit Deluxe Bundle with Make: Getting Started 3rd Edition Book - Open Source Electronics Prototyping Platform by Deron Altman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is the perfect set for anyone interested in electronics.

In my opinion this is the perfect kit for anyone interested in electronics to find out if they want to do it. If that had existed when I was in school, I would have chosen a different career path. Using only the parts from this kit, the included project book, and free software available on the internet (all mentioned in the book) I was able to quickly build a small dimmable LED lamp with three buttons and a Windows GUI to control and respond to. The Home Automation Proof of Concept was successful. I will add wireless, sensors, music. I think this should serve as a warning to parents: if your child goes into this, there will be an endless stream of requests for more and more small details. Individually, all of these parts are very cheap, but. There's always hope that you'll raise the next Ben Franklin. Have fun, I'm sure!

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Slightly dented
