Arduino Mega Starter Kit — Learn Electronics & Physical Computing

The most important skill in modern science is the ability to build instruments that measure things. This is where that skill starts.

The Arduino is an open-source microcontroller board that bridges the gap between code and the physical world. Connect a sensor — temperature, pressure, light, sound, motion, magnetic field — write a few lines of code, and you have a scientific instrument. This complete starter kit includes everything needed to build 30+ classic electronics projects and, more importantly, to start designing your own.

What you can build:

• Automated sensors with real-time serial data logging
• PID controllers for temperature or motor speed
• Custom spectrometers, Geiger pulse counters, magnetometers
• Servo-driven mechanical systems
• OLED readouts for any physical measurement
• WiFi-connected data loggers (with optional ESP8266 module)
