The culminating project is your very own autonomous robot! No previous programming or electronics experience is required to use this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe full-colour, spiral-bound SIK guidebook (included) contains step-by-step instructions with circuit diagrams and hookup tables for building each project and circuit with the included parts. Full example code is provided, new concepts and components are explained at point of use, and troubleshooting tips offer assistance if something goes wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe kit does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 10 and up who are looking for an Arduino starter kit. For SIK version 4.1 we took an entirely different approach to teaching embedded electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn previous versions of the SIK, each circuit focused on introducing a new piece of technology. With SIK v4.1, components are introduced in the context of the circuit you are building, and each circuit builds upon the last, leading up to a project that incorporates all of the components and concepts introduced throughout the guide. With new parts and a completely new strategy, even if you've used the SIK before, you're in for a brand-new experience!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe SIK V4.1 includes the Redboard Qwiic which allows you to expand into the SparkFun Qwiic ecosystem after you have become proficient with the SIK circuits. The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong. With the addition of the SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic, you \u003cem\u003ewill need\u003c\/em\u003e to download a new driver install that is different from the original SparkFun RedBoard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"center-block text-center\"\u003eGet Started With the SparkFun Inventor's Kit v4.1 Experiment Guide\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSparkFun RedBoard Qwiic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArduino and Breadboard Holder\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSparkFun Inventor's Kit Guidebook\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhite Solderless Breadboard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCarrying Case\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSparkFun Mini Screwdriver\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e16x2 White-on-Black LCD (with headers)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSparkFun Motor Driver (with Headers)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePair of Rubber Wheels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePair of Hobby Gearmotors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSmall Servo\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUltrasonic Distance Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTMP36 Temp Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e6' USB micro-B Cable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJumper Wires\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhotocell\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTricolor LED\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRed, Blue, Yellow and Green LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRed, Blue, Yellow and Green Tactile Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e10K Trimpot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMini Power Switch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePiezo Speaker\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAA Battery Holder\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e330 and 10K Resistors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBinder Clip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDual-Lock™ Fastener\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\nSIK Printed Guidebook (PDF, Download File: 31.8MB)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\nSIK Print Guide Errata (v4.1)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOnline Experiment Guide\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRedBoard Qwiic Driver Install\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSIK Info Page\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensional Drawing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSIK Case Insert Files\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExamples\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProject 1: Light \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 1A: Blinking an LED\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 1B: Potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 1C: Photoresistor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 1D: RGB Night-Light\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProject 2: Sound \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 2A: Buzzer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 2B: Digital Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 2C: \"Simon Says\" Game\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProject 3: Motion \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 3A: Servo Motors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 3B: Distance Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 3C: Motion Alarm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProject 4: Display \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 4A: LCD \"Hello, World!\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 4B: Temperature Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 4C: \"DIY Who Am I?\" Game\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProject 5: Robot \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 5A: Motor Basics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 5B: Remote-Controlled Robot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCircuit 5C: Autonomous Robot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVideos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"flex-video-wrap clearfix\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"flex-video widescreen img\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xe0l-hMsUEU\/?autohide=1\u0026amp;border=0\u0026amp;wmode=opaque\u0026amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparkfun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43493247909965,"sku":"ztn1787258084141","price":61.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1182\/8301\/files\/sparkfun-inventors-kit---v41-discontinued_1.jpg?v=1787258088","url":"https:\/\/www.grandorchard.shop\/products\/sparkfun-inventors-kit-v41-discontinued","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
