Interested in the world of Arduino? Checkout Jameco's wide selection of Arduino Based Kits, boards & projects. Whether you're just beginning and want the Arduino Starter Kit to walk you through the basics - or you have more experience and interested in making cool stuff with the Adafruit ARDX Experimentation Kit for Arduino, these arduino devices will satisfy. We also carry the Capacitive Touck Kit, Arduino Uno, Arduino Due, and much more.
Barebones Arduino Circuit Kit
There are many reasons to want a basic Arduino circuit on a breadboard or PCB. Building the Arduino-compatible circuit on the breadboard or PCB takes up much less space than trying to stuff a standard Arduino board inside your project. Some projects don't always require every pin to be used on the I/O headers, or maybe you won't be using a shield, but you still want the brain of the Arduino at the heart of your project.
For the step-by-step guide to assemble the basic circuit, visit the Jameco Workshop page.
Essential Components:
You may already have some of these components laying around in your toolbox, but just in case you need some hook-up wire or a power option, we've listed some below.
FTDI Breakout Board, 5V, USB to Serial <-- You will need this to upload code. Alternately, you can use another Arduino uploaded with the ArduinoISP code to use it as an AVRISP.
