ARDUINO Compatible STARTER KIT for just $12 - For Anyone to learn Electronics!

[Vyom]

If you ever wanted an Arduino kit to kickstart those electronics projects, then this is a GOLDEN chance!

Arduino is a microcontroller board that can used for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer.

The hardware consists of a simple open source hardware board designed around an 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller, or a 32-bit Atmel ARM. The software consists of a standard programming language compiler and a boot loader that executes on the microcontroller. Which means, you can use it to work on amazing electronics projects.

And you can get a cheaper version of the same from this indiegogo campaign for mere $12, from this Indiegogo campaign!

6 x LEDs (2 x red 2 x yellow 2 x green)

6 x resistors for the LEDs

1 x photoresistor and pairing resistor

1 x buzzer

1 x set of jumper wire (10pcs)

1 x mini solderless breadboard

Complete VFM for 9$, especially for beginners.

I have a hunch this will be fabricated in China. For the prices he's quoted (even for a 1000 pieces) it looks unlikely for manufacture in US.

For people familiar with AVR it will be much cheaper if they fabricate their own board. A serial programmer is required though.

 

[Vyom]

Your hunch is absolutely right.
He's fabricating it in China, and in fact to cut middle men costs will be shipped directly from the factory in China to consumers.
Pretty neat.

Nice .. well I have a UNO !!! But Looking forward for this one !!

I wanted to have one..!! But I don't know anything about Electronics

That's kinda the point. This is one of the most easiest architectures I know of.

Want to own one myself.

Neither do I. But I think I can start to learn. Since Arduino programming is simply C, I think I can get my hands dirty trying to code some useful things on it!

Did someone actually ordered this ?

Also is it safe & trusted to use the CC for ordering ??

I will order it. The product won't be available after the campaign I heard. It's for non profit, and by a teacher after all.

And of course, ordering with CC on Indiegogo is safe. Indiegogo is a renowed crowd funding website, which launched even before Kickstarter. If you don't know how crowd funding works, I suggest you read something about it on wiki's.

 

[Desmond]

I have ordered already. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[d3p]

Me too..placed an order for the same.

i think we should know something about uC before even starting to look at these....

 

[Santa Maria!]

Is this at a super beginner level? I've wanted to get into electronics & robotics, aiming for intermediate level.
Bah whatever, I've placed an order. Rs. 750. Curse you, flailing Rupee!

 

[Vyom]

Damn.. rupee falling more and more. Reached 61.105 now. I should have ordered it yesterday only!

 

[d3p]

Holy Sh!t..My Name is listed under the funders list, didn't notice it.

I have very little Knowledge Regarding this but want to give a try and learn something atleast

I know C..!! But nothing about electronics..!! Though I'll try but I don't have any idea what can be build using that

 

[Vyom]

Holy Sh!t..My Name is listed under the funders list, didn't notice it.

Spoiler

Lol..
If you notice, they have names of *all* the funders. You can choose to hide your name, or your amount. That's why a lot of them are anonymous.

2 more stretch goals reached means we get more booty per kit!

 

[arka]

thinking of ordering this.. will they ship it in India especially in west Bengal ? will idbi debit card work ?
