Brought it for my sons birthday arrived very quickly and made a great gift fine a good starter kit better kits are avaible with more parts but with a higher price

As with most if not all arduino kits no instructions are included but a quick google search will find all the information you need including some excellent arduino forums

I would recomend an understanding of electronics andor computer programming before buying his kit but most things are easy to learn a very simple form of c programming is used which means after a few days of playing around using the forums for sample programs etc

In this package it has a lot of things and can be overwelming as the parts are a bit fiddling with big fingers and as i start to look around i find that theres is a lot i mean a lot of projects done with the arduino board and its has many people with books and blogs and youtube video on different projects it hard where to start
