Orangepip Segments 328 Build your Own Arduino Kit

You may well be familiar with an Arduino board and aware of all the clever things it can help you to do. But how many people understand how the Arduino works? Do you know what components make up the "magic" box?

This Segments 328 kit from Orangepip will let you into the secret - and will encourage you to develop your soldering skills in the process.

Ideal for students in higher or further education, the Build Your Own Arduino Kit includes all the through-hole components required. Just follow the easy-to-understand instructions to produce your own fully-programmable open source prototyping platform.

All you need is access to a soldering iron and solder, cutters and pliers and ideally a multimeter and you're good to go.
