Hi, I am considering to give a Arduino kit as a birth day present for 10 year old who is keen to learn electronics. Can anybody suggest what kit to buy and where?? I have seen a lot of kits in ebay and not sure about their quality and also, I am not quite sure what Arduino components must be available for complete tool kit. Also, if anybody can suggest a good guide/book to start from scratch, that would be great.
Yeah, it's a lot more expensive and has fewer actual components than some of the eBay kits, but the documentation and "curriculum" are likely to be a lot better (starting with "NOT non-existent!")
Adafruit has some similar kits, but they seem to be out-of-stock.
Sparkfun, Adafruit, and Arduino themselves are pretty much the short list of vendors I trust to do a good "beginner's kit."
