Arduino released a new kit called “Plug and Make” Designed specifically for beginners. Includes everything you need to get started: a board Arduino UNO R4 WiFi, special “Modulino” modules, a base to hold everything and some assembly materials.
Forget about complicated wiring and soldering, as this kit allows you to carry out your first projects with easy and quick connections, allowing quick assembly and disassembly of the circuit. Modulino blocks are supplied with special Qwiic cables, and you can build your projects on the base provided. The kit even comes with seven different project ideas, with step-by-step instructions, so you can start creating right away.
Here are some of the cool things you can build with the Arduino Plug and Make kit:
- Weather Station
- digital hourglass
- Environmental monitor that monitors temperature
- PC game controller
- Mini synthesizer that allows you to create your own sounds
- Smart lamp that you can control with your cell phone or through voice commands
- Contactless lamp that turns on when you pass your hand in front of it
These are just a few ideas to get you started, but with the Arduino Plug and Make kit you can do many more...
