Electronics 101.

Arduino’s new starter kit features electronic components that can be connected without having to know anything about soldering or wiring. The $87.36 Arduino Plug and Make Kit comes with an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi microcomputer featuring Bluetooth and its own built-in 12 x 8 LED matrix display, plus seven different Modulino components that can all be connected using cables that snap into one-way connector ports, ensuring nothing can be wired incorrectly. The Arduino Plug and Make Kit includes tutorials on how to use each component and step-by-step instructions on how to assemble them to build seven devices, such as a video game controller, a synthesizer, a touchless lamp, and an electronic hourglass timer.
