Assembling a custom Arduino starter kit
Buying an off the shelf Arduino starter kit could be very expensive. Instead I decided to assemble my own.
The last couple of months I have ordered lots of Arduino components. These components are the start of my custom Arduino starter kit. Next I will start posting experiments, which I later will bundle into an ebook. Below is a list of all the components used in my custom Arduino starter kit:
