First, I'll start with the packaging. The packaging on this kit is very sexy, much like an Apple product. The design and style are simple and beautiful, the various items included in the kit are all nicely packaged in their individual boxes, and everything fits together very nicely. The unboxing feels like an experience. I realize some people may not care about the packaging, but if you're considering giving this kit as a gift, it makes a difference and will have an impact.
As far as all the components included in the kit, I'm not an expert but it feels like a great starter kit and has a lot of very useful components in it, as well as lots of goodies and extras. There's enough in this kit to tackle a lot of projects and it feels like a solid base to start from. Some people have mentioned that you can purchase all these components cheaper if you source them out individually. I highly doubt the hours one would waste tracking down everything individually would justify the savings. After all this kit is not terribly expensive for what you get.
Not to mention, one of the best things in this kit is the book. It's got lots of great projects in it that teach you both electronics and programming in the process. It's well written and easy to understand, even for a novice to electronics such as myself. As a programmer I do have to speak to the programming side of the book which in my opinion could be a bit more detailed for those who do not have experience with programming. That said, it's better than average and I do feel you'll learn to code in the process of going thru these projects. Overall, it feels like a well thought out and thurough course, with each chapter building on the next.
In sum, this kit is really fun. I have no hesitation recommending this product. I guarantee you will thoroughly enjoy it, have a lot of fun, and learn some things in the process. This kit would make a fantastic gift for anyone interested in programming and/or electronics, and would also be a great thing for parents/grandparents and their kids to do together.
However, this is not easy. You will have to put on your thinking cap and really pay attention. If you’ve never done any coding or have experience with electronics, you may want to pass, as this just throws you into the deep end of the pool starting in Chapter two. The second project took 3.5 hours, and most of that was debugging and searching all over the internet for help on what went wrong. Add to that the issue others have mentioned with the color of wires plus the font and coloring in the book and you’re looking at a serious challenge.
That said, after 3.5 hours I got the second project to work AND was able to go beyond by tinkering with the code. Satisfying but tiring. Maybe that’s a good thing. YMMV.
However - the book is difficult to read due to the poor choice of typeface and color. Type itself is a bit small, could have easily made it a couple points larger. The color of the type is almost a dark grey and not black, thus making the contrast poor and the words difficult to see against the white of the page.
The sections where the code itself is presented is even worse. They have chosen a pale blue background and a small type size. Also the type face itself is Helvetica light? A very 'thin line' typeface. They should have chosen a 'thicker' stroke of typeface and stuck to BLACK ink and not the absurd dark grey which provides almost no contrast at all against the white / light blue page.
Not everyone is young with eagle eyes anymore. Why can't publishers think of things like this?!
I wish Arduino would republish the book - version 2 - and correct these fatal flaws.
Otherwise an overall positive experience with all other aspects of the kit.
