Getting Started with Arduino Kit + Arduino Cookbook 2nd Edition

Getting Started with Arduino Kit + Arduino Cookbook 2nd Edition for $64.99

Apr 24, 2012 10:06 AM

Have you ever wanted to learn basic programming? Or learn how to control electronic devices, build games, etc? The Arduino platform is a great way to discover how easy hardware development can be.

This kit contains an Arduino Uno board, a prototyping board, and a set of components that help you to experiment with the Arduino (LEDs, light sensors, resistors, jumper wires, etc.)

The Arduino platforms are an awesome platform for both learning and creating real world useful gadgets, however I'm just not sure this is the great deal that they claim... You can pick up this stuff on Amazon at good prices, and if learning how to work with this a real paper book vs. the PDF is really nice to have.

@nkull: I can't find this for less on Amazon. On the web, Jameco has it for $74.95, so this seems like a reasonable deal.

Note that the components that come with this starter kit are the ones that you need to complete the projects in the book, so most of the Amazon deals, which have just an Arduino Uno, some jumpers, and a breadboard aren't equivalent.

Yeah, no tree-killer copy of the book is kind of a bummer. They're cutting cost by dumping the cost of printing onto the buyer, of course. They do that even at the regular $100 price, however.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
