Starter Kit for Arduino Cookbook I have this book here about Arduino. What kind of Kit should I purchase to get started? Would this work?



I'm not yet sure about what I'd like to do with Arduino, so I may prefer a pretty Universal Kit in order to cover a pretty wide range of projects.

Except this, I won't need any advanced stuff, at the moment, as a beginner I may want to understand the fundamentals, so will surely need LEDs, maybe screens, and other basic stuff like that.

Later on I may try to go for Wireless modules, but not at the moment as a beginner.

Any ideas? Hope to have clarified more or less what projects I'm aiming to, yeah the range is wide, but restricted to basic beginner projects.
The Stack Exchange format is not well suited for opinions.  That said, people are apparently giving the kit good reviews.  And I see hardware that appears to allow for several projects (LED arrays?, motors?, ultrasonic-distance-measurement?, IR-remote-control?, Alpha-numeric-LCD?, 7-segmet-LED-display?, ect).  Which is more than you need for basic Arduino projects.

In general, it would make the most sense to find a kit with a book rather than obtain a book and a kit separately. This is because slight differences between the written material and independently obtained hardware will cause confusion.  This is generally not a problem for experienced embedded developers.

Keep in mind that embedded processor projects are half hardware and half software.  Since the hardware has already been collected, the majority of activity will be in software.  If this paradigm agrees with you, good luck &amp; have fun.
