Electronics Kit for Arduino

With this Science Buddies® Electronics Kit for Arduino turn your Home Science Tools kit into a smart project like controlling the altitude of your DIY Mini Drone Kit.

Use the material inside this educational electronics kit to:

• connect sensors to your Arduino so it can interact with the physical world
• write and upload code to an Arduino
• build a circuit on a breadboard
• debug (troubleshoot) a circuit
• use Arduino functions for both digital and analog input & output

Instructions for this kit are available online. See below for links to the instructions and more.

The Science Buddies Electronics Kit for Arduino supports several other science projects smart devices from a voice-controlled lamp to designing an artificial pancreas. Combine the Science Buddies Electronics Kit for Arduino with the BlueBot 4-in-1 Robotic Kit to build a self-driving car, or pair it with the DIY Mini Drone Kit to control its altitude. See Science Buddies instructions for more details and for additional equipment required.

Need a little extra instruction before starting a science project? Check out these convenient tutorials from Science Buddies!

Begin with set up and programming of your Arduino, then to building circuits, and using your Arduino with LEDs, buttons, and potentiometers. You will learn basic Arduino commands like digitalRead, digitalWrite, analogRead, and analogWrite. In just a few videos, you will have the foundations you need for the advanced Arduino projects. Visit Science Buddies website How to Use an Arduino for more video tutorials.

NOTE: Arduino software does not currently work with with Chromebooks. Windows or Mac computer preferred.
