Arduino Kit - Cheap

This page will attempt to put together a list of parts for a "cheap" arduino kit that might be suitable for school use. We will start sourcing on ebay and amazon, then perhaps branch out. Be aware that sources and prices change fast so this will get out of date fast.

Components

• Arduinos -- must be usb
• Prototyping Bread Board
• Wire for proto board
• Components to do what??
  • IR reciever - cause remote control is cool.

Sourcing

I will assume that the buyer has Amazon Prime, and that the Ebay prices include ( the often free ) shipping. Note that Prime shipping is usually much faster than Ebay, and while its prices ( now ) seem to be higher, the time factor sometimes makes it worth it.

Arduino

• USB
• Proto Board Friendly
• Willing to do some soldering to save money
• Indifferent to speed or lots of IO as long as it has the basics
