The Breadboard Microcontroller Starter Kit provides everything you need to get started in the exciting world of microcontroller programming. With this kit, you will master the basics of circuit design, create a programmable circuit on the breadboard, and learn to write C programs for microcontrollers. The kit provides everything you need for the Getting Started and Building Blocks activities, as well as the Digital Stopwatch, Digital Thermometer, Music Synthesizer, and Memory Game Projects. The Starter Kit components also can be used as a controller for Machine Science's robotics projects. Purchased separately, these components would total nearly $200; they're an outstanding value here for just $99.
