The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for Arduino is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino. This Inventor's Kit contains everything you need to complete 10 experiments including using LEDs, motors, LDRs and capacitors.
Arduino is an open-source code-able electronics platform, which has been designed for anyone making interactive projects. Arduino board can process inputs from many sensors, and also control outputs such as LEDs and motors.
The Arduino is controlled by the code with which it is programmed. This code is written in the Arduino programming language, using the Arduino development environment. Once complete the code is easily transfered to the Arduino board using a simple USB lead.
To get you off to a flying start, we have included an easy to follow tutorial book which guides you through creating the 10 experiments. You don't need any experience with programming as the tutorial book will guide you every step of the way. You'll be programming and creating circuits in no time!

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- electrolytic capacitor
- An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that can store relatively large amounts of electrical charge in a small package. It is commonly used for smoothing power supplies, reducing noise, and short-term energy storage, but it usually has polarity so it must be installed the correct way around.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- phototransistor
- A light-sensitive transistor that changes its electrical output when light hits it. Compared with a modulated IR receiver, a simple phototransistor can be more affected by ambient light, so it may need extra filtering or careful setup.
- potentiometer
- A variable resistor usually turned with a knob or shaft to create an adjustable electrical signal. It is often used for inputs such as volume, brightness or position, so it helps beginners learn how a microcontroller reads changing values.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
- Terminal block
- A terminal block is a connector that joins wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way, usually clamping each wire under a screw or spring instead of soldering. It makes it easier to connect, change, or service wiring without permanent joints.
