Arduino Workshop Order - swindonmakers/wiki GitHub Wiki
Materials Needed
- Arduino and breadboard kits (tbc)
- Jumper wires, LEDs, resistors, switches, potentiometers
Items
Some items currently researching to satisfy kits needed for Arduino Workshop.
Note: All items listed have a long delivery time (2-3 weeks).
Main choice is the controller: if going with a arduino compatible Pro Mini, a USB to Serial lead is required - otherwise the more expensive Pro Micro requires a standard USB micro cable. If the cost works out about the same, then the Micro is the better device for general use.
