You can find an endless number of cool microcontroller projects and tutorials online these days. The tricky part is finding one that matches the components you already have or sourcing what you need to tackle that awesome project you’re dying to sink your teeth into. So the MAKE staff designed this pack with everything they wanted for their own microcontroller projects. From the Maker Shield prototyping shield to an LCD screen; breadboards to force resistors; tilt
sensor to mini DC motor, and pretty much every resistor, capacitor, and basic LED, this pack has over 100 components covering all the basics and the fun stuff too. It’s an awesome pack for both beginners and advanced users, which is why it’s available with Arduino Uno, Netduino, Netduino Plus, or no microcontroller at all.
