Microcontrollers are at the heart of countless modern projects. We can all agree that they’re crucial, but where do you begin? There’s no definitive introduction to this type of hardware, but the Tinusaur Starter Bundle is a great place to start your journey.
Keep in mind that this is a kit you’ll need to assemble yourself, so it’s not for complete beginners. Even so, it’s great soldering practice. Here’s what the bundle includes:
- The Tinusaur Board 3 STD: A main board with a microcontroller
- A Tinusaur Shield LEDx2: a board with 2 LEDs
- Another Tinusaur Shield EDUx4IO: includes an LED, photoresistor, buzzer, and button
- USBasp Programmer: used for uploading the code from your computer to the microcontroller
Makers who have recently joined the cause could benefit a lot from some early experience with microcontrollers, so a kit like this could be a perfect fit!
