Looks like quite a bit of effort, so thank you very much. Decided to get into Arduino as I'm a mechanical engineer and could really do with some easy electronics knowledge to help me test stuff on the cheap. Went for the Oomlout pack because it looks like it'll be worth the extra bit of cash just to get up that learning curve a little quicker. Looking forward to peering into some blinking lights! Great help. Looks like quite a bit of effort, so thank you very much.

The kit has a huge quantity of parts so is great value for money. The book is brilliant. Really well written and aimed at beginners. I found it very easy to follow and meant I learnt the basics very quickly. As for what Barry M says - The printed material is a free part of the kit. The Earthshine Design manual can be downloaded for free from their website even if your not purchasing the kit. I purchased the Earthshine Design Starter Kit and have to say I was very impressed.

If you end up getting a kit, drop a line here and let me know what you decided on. I always like to know who decided on which kit and why. I’m glad you like them.

I think it was definitely needed, and it's great to know it's helping people. I'm curious, What kit did you end up choosing? I'm sure, whatever the kit, your family will have a blast.
