I'm just about to get into Arduino and was looking at starter packs (in the UK!) so this was really helpful. Going to go with the Oomlaut which, as it turns it, is the first one I came across, and now I feel good about it. Cheers. Hey – thanks for writing this up.

]]> Comment on School by Aaron Eiche http://aaroneiche.com/2011/06/15/school/comment-page-1/#comment-53421 Aaron Eiche Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:49:54 +0000 http://aaroneiche.com/?p=1235#comment-53421 Thanks Tom! My goal right now for school is to complete a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering. From there, I have no idea. I've spent a lot of my life thinking that school was all about getting a better job/more money. It wasn't until recently that I discovered the joy of learning, and the value in taking knowledge in the right order at the right pace. That is to say, I don't know if I'll end up being a professional EE, or if I'll just do what I do now: Software Development for the web. I enjoy electronics and know that the school process is a positive one, so I'm confident no matter where I end up afterwards, It will have been a worthwhile effort. Thanks Tom!

After all the years of painfully paying your dues and sorting it all out, it's great to hear a success story! So what is the goal? Someday you will graduate with a degree; what will it be? I hope something that will both give you satisfaction and that will make you more valuable to employers, whether at some salary, or as a consultant/contractor. Best of luck! Tom Nice!

Check the "Toggle All Reviews" box and give them a quick read through. A few of the kits are designed to step you through the process of accomplishing a series of lessons. Other kits are meant to simply give you a broad variety of parts to get you going through many different projects. I personally lean towards Adafruit for a company. They're really fantastic in their products, support, documentation, and community. That said, the entire Arduino community is very open and welcoming, and I'm sure your boyfriend will have no trouble finding help. Best of luck in your search, let me know if I can help out any other way :) Hi,

I am looking for a comprehensive starter kit for my boyfriend's birthday. I am virtually clueless as to what they are, but I do know a bit about what they can do. My boyfriend is just starting out with Arduino, but has been electronics savvy for years. He's a self-motivated researcher and I'm sure would like a kit with the most options. I am curious if anything has come out within the last year since your previous post? I'm sure there are tons of options. At this point, is there a company with greater customer service or product integrity? Thanks! Hey Aaron,
