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 the entire pieces needed to complete 11 different circuits, at the side of a experimenter’s guide booklet & breadboard layout sheets. Basically everything you want 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 give protection to your computer’s USB port, but ALSO an automatic circuit to choose USB or DC power without a jumper! The Uno is pin and code-compatible with the Duemilanove, Diecimilla and older Arduinos so all of your shields, libraries, code will still work. The new R3 (3rd revision) of the UNO has a couple of minor updates, with an upgrade to the USB interface chip and additional breakouts for the i2c pins and an IORef pin. For more information about the UNO, the R3 and what the updates mean, please check our UNO FAQ!
Note: As of July 23rd, 2015 the ARD-X is shipping with American-made Arduinos!
Arduino Prototyping Bundle (the latest Arduino Uno ‘328 board, half size breadboard & acrylic holder), jumper wires, printed experimenter guide, breadboard layout sheets, usb cable, 9V battery clip, LEDs, resistors, toy DC motor, mini servo, 74HC595, pushbuttons, potentiometer, photoresists, temperature sensor, and so forth.
Experimentation kit with American-made Arduino UNO R3
13 circuits to explore microcontroller basics. Covering LEDs, transistors, motors, integrated circuits, pushbuttons, variable resistors, photo resistors, temperature sensors & relays.
Printed copy of the Arduino Experimenter’s Guide means no want to flip between on-screen windows.
Each circuit includes a layout sheet, eliminating guesswork on the subject of component placement.
