Arduino Plug and Make Kit

Friday 12th July, 2024 - Bruce Sterling





Build your first IoT devices with this kit by seamlessly integrating hardware and software without diving into complex theory.

Plug and Make Kit is the easiest way to get started with Arduino. It includes everything you need for your very first seven projects – as well as many more that our community shares and you can invent yourself!

Weather Report: Never get caught in the rain again, with a visual reminder to take an umbrella when needed
Hourglass: Who needs an egg timer? Customize your own digital hourglass
Eco Watch: Make sure your plants thrive in the perfect temperature and humidity
Game Controller: Level up with your very own HID (Human Interface Device) gamepad
Sonic Synth: Get one step closer to being a rockstar, DJ or sound engineer!
Smart Lights: Set the mood with your very own smart lamp
Touchless Lamp: Control lights with a simple gesture

Each idea is inspiration for a fun activity that will not only teach you the basics of do-it-yourself electronics but leave you with a great sense of accomplishment. You can make technology too!

With the innovative Modulino nodes, simply connect them sequentially using the onboard Qwiic connector of the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi. By utilizing one of the Arduino Cloud templates, you can swiftly transform your concept into a fully operational project.

Features

No extra tools needed, all you have to kick off you journey as maker is included in the kit.
No breadboard and no soldering are involved.
Build a fully functional IoT project, understanding its inner working, in under 45 minutes.
Start from the project you find more interesting, you define your own learning path.
Continue learning and working on your projects from any connected computer using the online Arduino ecosystem.

Modulino
Modulino are sensors and actuators that simply connect via the Uno R4 WiFi’s onboard Qwiic connector. You can connect more than one for more complex projects and never have to wonder which side goes where, because the connector is polarized.

Modulino Knob: for super-fine value adjustments
Modulino Pixels: eight LEDs to shine bright, dim down, or change color
Modulino Distance: a time-of-flight proximity sensor to measure distances with precision
Modulino Movement: to perfectly capture movements like pitch, roll or tilt
Modulino Buzzer: to generate your own alarm sounds or simple tunes
Modulino Thermo: a sensor for both temperature and humidity data
Modulino Buttons: three buttons for quick project navigation
