Arduino Uno: $35
<img class="size-full wp-image-1161 alignright" title="arduino-uno" src="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/arduino-uno.gif" alt="" width="180" height="149" />
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the <a href="http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage">Arduino programming language</a> (based on <a href="http://wiring.org.co/" rel="nofollow">Wiring</a>) and the Arduino development environment (based on <a href="http://www.processing.org/" rel="nofollow">Processing</a>). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).

Pebble Kit: $35
<a href="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/store/pebble-assembled-top_small/" rel="attachment wp-att-1270"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1270" title="Pebble-assembled-top_small" src="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Pebble-assembled-top_small.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="156" /></a>Great kit for beginner to intermediate soldering. The Pebble is an Arduino shield that provides you with some interesting, common I/O devices, such as a temperature sensor, LDR, potentiometer, pushbuttons and a space for an LCD display (LCD sold separately), all nicely integrated onto a PCB, to easily let you get started experimenting with Arduino programs. See the <a href="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/wiki/Pebble" target="_blank">HeatSync Labs Wiki article on the Pebble</a> for more info. Does not include LCD screen, sold separately below.

Pebble (Board Only): $5
<a href="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/store/img_20110129_025802_small/" rel="attachment wp-att-1258"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1258" title="IMG_20110129_025802_small" src="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_20110129_025802_small.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="126" /></a>Just the circuit board for the Pebble, no components. See the <a href="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/wiki/Pebble" target="_blank">HeatSync Labs Wiki article on the Pebble</a> for more info including a Bill of Materials.

Simon Kit: $30
<a href="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/store/img_20110129_030451_small/" rel="attachment wp-att-1259"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1259" title="IMG_20110129_030451_small" src="http://www.heatsynclabs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_20110129_030451_small.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="139" /></a>Great kit for beginners to assemble and learn soldering, with all through-hole components (instead of tricky surface-mount stuff.) When you're done you get a playable "Simon Says" game that lights up and makes sound, plus the kit is actually an Arduino so you can buy a USB FTDI adapter and reprogram it using the Arduino program as if it were a "Lilypad Arduino w/ ATmega328."

Allows you to connect to an Arduino or similar microcontroller via USB, when the Arduino doesn't have its own USB port (i.e. the Simon kit and other Arduino clones.)
Requires a USB Mini-B cable not included.
Hookup Wires
.25 each
