Is this a good deal?

i believe the low deck is called a breadboard.

I take it the "400" term means 400 tie-points...?

and yes, it's in US dollars.

If you were here in the US, then that wouldn't be so great a buy; does the $66.00 US include the shipping cost?

the thing is that they have to be able to ship to sweden.

Normally I would suggest buy the Arduino, then spend the rest of the money on some "grab bag" part kits from a surplus dealer, and pick up a cheap breadboard and wires off of Ebay.

Since you are in Sweden, though, where surplus is apparently outlawed, and there are shipping restrictions (for what reason?) - if that $66.00 is all-inclusive (parts and shipping), then it is probably your best deal - for your geographical area.

Elsewhere, maybe not so much.

That must be the tradeoff for universal health care and babes...

;D

Hopefully I'll be old and senile (then again, I am already half way there - you decide which half!) before that happens here in the States; I don't think I could live if I didn't have electronic junk to scrounge up and play with...
