Does anyone know where to buy the Arduino Starter Kit that is referred to in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o6Q2QzmFvA&list=PLwO8CTSLTkii9S_vhEOsyJ17RI3jjBZ95&index=52

Hi Michael,

I didn't see the kit in a brief scan of the video, so I'm not precisely sure which one is referred to, but this one is very good:

Model K000007K000007 available from:

https://uk.farnell.com/arduino/k000007/starter-kit-arduino-with-uno-board/dp/2250862?CMP=i-ddd7-00001003&COM=Arduino

or

I wrote a mini-review of it here, you can see what's inside it:

There are lots of lower-cost kits too, via Amazon/ebay. I think some are good value for money, but you may end up with a lot of parts and a thin booklet of experiments. Still, if there is a budget constraint then those would be worth considering too, especially if the information for projects can be found elsewhere.

The K000007K000007 kit comes with a more substantial easy-to-follow book, so the value comes from the combination of book and kit, plus of course the brand. I think it should really be £10-20 cheaper, but it is what it is, and it's definitely a very cool product.

Yes, it's the official Arduino Starter Kit that Karen uses in that series.

It is linked on the associated page:

However it depends on your location as it looks like the link to the kit from Farnell needs updating for members based in he UK.
