Official Arduino Starter Kit [K000007] (English Projects Book) - 12 DIY Projects with All Necessary Electronic Components and Instructions - origianl kit by Arduino from Italy

Arduino Starter Kit is amazing microcontroller for beginners. All the electrical components are included in the packet for projects. I liked the projects and programming environment both. The starter kit gives a good hold to understand execution of electronic projects. Sooner or later intermediate and advanced kits may be available - I will definitely like to buy them. Update on 3rd October 2015: I have placed another order. The 170 page manual is printed on good quality paper - the reading experience was good. I prefer to have a pdf file - I am unable to obtain it online. Could I get a link to download ?

Fantastic quality

A Bit expensive, but for someone starting out with Arduino, this is very good choise. If you are familiar with arduino or can read documentation and familiarize yourself with it, it might be a cheaper and better option to only buy arduino separately and purchase components as you need it. For a novice, who likes learning by hands on approach, this is a good buy

Arduino itself is a great product, so no questions about that. What i didn't like it the handelling by the seller, i had to replace the first delivery because of the damaged box. Replacement was too not in a good shape. You don't expect this when you are paying more than the double of the original price in the name of import duty.

Good product.

The kit's good.. but overpriced. Buying individual components separately would turn out to be way cheaper.

Component quality is good except Servo. There is nothing special in book. The package is quite a bit expensive.

Its a good one. but it is very expensive. not worth for 9799Rs. if one have time, get a discrete components it will come to max 2k.

This kit is awesome. I highly recommend this to anyone that has an interest in electronics and/or programming. While I am a seasoned programmer, I had no electronics experience prior to purchasing this kit. Recently I've found myself yearning to build electronic projects and figured this would be a good place to start given it's a fairly comprehensive starter kit. First, I'll start with the packaging. The packaging on this kit is very sexy, much like an Apple product. The design and style are simple and beautiful, the various items included in the kit are all nicely packaged in their individual boxes, and everything fits together very nicely. The unboxing feels like an experience. I realize some people may not care about the packaging, but if you're considering giving this kit as a gift, it makes a difference and will have an impact. As far as all the components included in the kit, I'm not an expert but it feels like a great starter kit and has a lot of very useful components in it, as well as lots of goodies and extras. There's enough in this kit to tackle a lot of projects and it feels like a solid base to start from. Some people have mentioned that you can purchase all these components cheaper if you source them out individually. I highly doubt the hours one would waste tracking down everything individually would justify the savings. After all this kit is not terribly expensive for what you get. Not to mention, one of the best things in this kit is the book. It's got lots of great projects in it that teach you both electronics and programming in the process. It's well written and easy to understand, even for a novice to electronics such as myself. As a programmer I do have to speak to the programming side of the book which in my opinion could be a bit more detailed for those who do not have experience with programming. That said, it's better than average and I do feel you'll learn to code in the process of going thru these projects. Overall, it feels like a well thought out and thurough course, with each chapter building on the next. In sum, this kit is really fun. I have no hesitation recommending this product. I guarantee you will thoroughly enjoy it, have a lot of fun, and learn some things in the process. This kit would make a fantastic gift for anyone interested in programming and/or electronics, and would also be a great thing for parents/grandparents and their kids to do together.

I like it very much

High quality packaging and products within. To definitely get your moneys worth on this one. With the book included it makes it nice and easy to follow and outlines the fundamental basics of how and why the product is used. For me the book is the reason for the high review. It is of a high quality. Very detailed and down to the basic level. First project in parallel circuit. Takes a litttle while for me as I have sausage fingers. So placing the wires can be fiddley. Only gripe was the box was a little torn. So I’ve had to repair with some tape. But hey that’s life and it’s only a box. I have seen reviews online about the starter book being wrong with technical data but I’ve yet to notice them. My education level is of HNC in mechanical engineering (UK) I work in a mechanical/electrical maintenance job. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn some electronics and code.

Estoy muy feliz con mi nuevo Arduino todo llego en excelentes condiciones, y en cuanto costo calidad se ve que se han esforzado por mejorar el kit y por darnos una gran experiencia por nuestro dinero, probablemente hay placas mas baratas y que ofrecen mas cosas, pero sin duda me quedo con esta, ya que hay mucha informacion y documentacion ademas de los libros de actividades que trae, y sobre todo apoyar a un proyecto tan maravilloso como es arduino.

This was used as part of a model tank kit and it was perfect as a track controller.
