Arduino learning kit

[rctractorwizard]

I recently purchased the Arduino UNO learning kit off of your web site. I was pleased with the speed at which the package arrived. I ordered on March 26th, and it arrived today, April 2nd. As I opened the box, I was amazed an how much they were able to fit into such a small box. I can see myself having a great time with all the different projects.

There are just a couple of issues that I feel could be improved upon. 1) there is not an illustration book. I needed to email the sender for an online illustration and schematics. 2) the tactile buttons are only SPST. I would have preferred to have DPDT switches that bridge the gap on the numerical axis. (Keep in mind that I know nothing about bread boards and the numerical axis may run through and bridge the gap)

All in all, I am very pleased at the wide array of parts and accessories.

Best regards

That's good going, usually takes two to three weeks for ebay items to reach here. I haven't bought that kit myself, I bought a smaller one 4 or 5 years ago and found it very useful.

They wouldn't have sent instructions because they would have chosen the parts in the kit to suit the Arduino example sketches in the Arduino IDE and also tutorials on the Arduino website arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage so the software/instructions isn't really theirs.

The switches can be a pain for breadboard mounting alright but they are the most commonly use switch in the examples I think and they are very cheap. They are useful when you want to create a kind of switched ladder resistor network to save pins,

something like this



Hopefully the kit works out well for you.
