Arduino
This kit includes all the components you need to build simple projects and learn how to turn an idea into reality using Arduino. Arduino Basic Kit has been developed in collaboration with Autodesk. When you purchase the kit you will receive online access to 15 step-by-step tutorials to make simple projects using components that let you control the physical world through different kinds of sensors and actuators.
Once you have mastered this knowledge, you will have a palette of code and circuits to create something beautiful and useful. So build, hack and share!
Projects you can make:
01 GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOLS an introduction to the basics
02 SPACESHIP INTERFACE design the control panel for your starship
03 LOVE-O-METER measure how hot-blooded you are
04 COLOR MIXING LAMP produce any color with a lamp that uses light as an input
05 MOOD CUE clue people in to how you're doing
06 LIGHT THEREMIN create a musical instrument you play by waving your hands
07 KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT play music and make some noise with this keyboard
08 DIGITAL HOURGLASS a light-up hourglass that can stop you from working too much
09 MOTORIZED PINWHEEL a colored wheel that will make your head spin
10 ZOETROPE create a mechanical animation you can play forward or reverse
11 CRYSTAL BALL a mystical tour to answer all your tough questions
12 KNOCK LOCK tap out the secret code to open the door
13 TOUCHY-FEEL LAMP a lamp that responds to your touch
14 TWEAK THE ARDUINO LOGO control your personal computer from your Arduino
15 HACKING BUTTONS create a master control for all your devices!
Getting Started
When you purchase an Arduino Basic Kit you will receive an email with all the infos you need to access the tutorials online on Autodesk Project Ignite. You will be able to get started with Arduino, learn the basics of coding and electronics, jump right into the step-by-step tutorials and make the 15 simple projects. You can find the Arduino code for all these projects within the Arduino IDE, click on File / Examples / 10.StarterKit.
