SparkFun Tinker Kit

KIT-14556

Elmwood Electronics has stopped accepting orders. This product might be available at PiShop.ca. Please check this blog post about our recent team merger.

The SparkFun Tinker Kit (STK) is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino programming language. The STK is thenewest version of the former SparkFun Mini Inventor's Kit, blended with elements of their educator MESA kit. Each SparkFun Tinker Kit includes everything you need to complete 11 circuits that will teach you how to blink an LED, read sensors, drive servos, and more. You don't need any previous programming or electronics experience to use this kit.

The online STK Experiment Guide (in theDocumentssection below) contains step-by-step instructions of how to connect each circuit with the included parts. Full example code is provided and explained, and even includes troubleshooting tips in case something goes wrong.

The kit does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 10 and up. This miniature version of the SIK will help prove that anyone can (and should) play around with cutting-edge electronics in a fun and playful way while not breaking the bank.

Circuit Examples:

  • Circuit 1: Blinking an LED
  • Circuit 2: Reading a Potentiometer
  • Circuit 3: Driving an RGB LED
  • Circuit 4: Driving Multiple LEDs
  • Circuit 5: Reading a Button Press
  • Circuit 6: Reading a Photoresistor
  • Circuit 7: Reading a Temperature Sensor
  • Circuit 8: Using a Servo Motor
  • Circuit 9: Driving a Motor with an H-Bridge
  • Circuit 10: Controlling a Motor with Inputs
  • Circuit 11: Reading Serial Data
