Input: I'm a software developer with over 20 years experience. I've always been interested in electronics but every time I tried in the past to learn on my own, there has been nothing to keep me interested in the long haul. I bought a book on electronics (basically the same that would be used in a college course) but without any practical training, the theory got tedious. I bought a Radio Shack hundred in one electronics project kit but that took the fun of actually creating the circuits away from me. Not to mention there was no programming involved.<br /><br />TLDR; pros: it's a great kit for getting started; one of the less expensive starter kits with a lot of value; up and running in minutes<br />cons: the book is too small for reading (I think there's a pdf on the disc but I don't have an optical drive; the company website doesn't exist; you'll lose a lot of sleep tinkering with circuits<br /><br />I've heard good things about the Arduino as a great tool for learning electronics and finally decided to jump on the bandwagon when my daughters expressed interest in learning how to program. I want to make it fun for them and fun for me at the same time. I did research on Arduino vs Raspberry PI and came to the conclusion that while the Raspberry PI is a very interesting device, it's higher level than where I wanted to start. So I look through several offerings and land on the Sunfounder Super Starter Kit Uno (in retrospect I should have gotten the Mega but I didn't realize what the difference between the two are).<br /><br />When the package came in the mail, I couldn't wait to get home and try it out. I also purchased [[ASIN:&#34;1118549368&#34; Exploring Arduino]] as a learning guide. After going through the first three chapters of the book and making the projects, I looked at the clock and realized it was 3AM.<br /><br />From making the onboard LED blink to creating my first circuit to make an led on a breadboard blink, I came to the realization that electronics isn't the boogie man I've made it out to be in my mind. In fact as a programmer, I have a leg up. I'm used to working with components that when I send it input X, I get result y. Now instead of just being confined to the digital world, I can make software that controls physical objects.<br /><br />And there are so many physical objects to control. You can buy a touch sensitive screen for 35 dollars and build your own digital universal remote. Or get a bluetooth module for 15 and communicate with your smart phone. The touch sensitive ring in the first iPod can be had for 2.50...the possibilities are truly limited by your imagination. And this is just a beginner's board. What comes next is up to you.he boogie man I've made it out to be in my mind. In fact as a programmer, I have a leg up.
