Adafruit ARDX v1.3 Experimentation Kit for Arduino Uno R3

Adafruit is currently shipping R3 of the Arduino Uno.

Interested in making neat stuff with an Arduino but not sure where to start? This kit includes all the pieces needed to complete 11 different circuits, along with an experimenter's guide booklet and breadboard layout sheets. Basically, everything you need to be playing within minutes of its arrival. No soldering required!

Includes the Thru-hole (THM) type Arduino Uno R3. The new Uno is the latest version after the Duemilanove, with an improved USB interface chip. Like the Duemilanove, it not only has an expanded shield header with a 3.3V reference and a RESET pin (which solves the problem of how to get to the RESET pin in a shield) and a 500mA fuse to protect your computer's USB port, but also an automatic circuit to select USB or DC power without a jumper! The Uno is pin and code-compatible with the Duemilanove, Diecimilla, and older Arduinos, so all your shields, libraries, and code will still work. The new R3 (3rd revision) of the Uno has a few minor updates, with an upgrade to the USB interface chip and additional breakouts for the I2C pins and an IORef pin.

Features:

• 13 circuits to explore microcontroller basics, covering LEDs, transistors, motors, integrated circuits, pushbuttons, variable resistors, photo resistors, temperature sensors, and relays.
• Comes with an Arduino Uno (the latest Arduino) prototyping bundle to make constructing your circuits and future projects easy.
• Printed copy of the Arduino Experimenter's Guide means no need to flip between on-screen windows.
• Each circuit includes a layout sheet, eliminating guesswork when it comes to component placement.
• Fully open source, meaning you can download and print additional circuit sheets, or download the component files and make your own circuits.
