In fact, this is the first Arduino kit I've ever had.
I found this kit is a very very good start for a beginner like me, who suddenly wakes up in the morning and decides to invest her savings to learning electronics during the xmas break.
All the instructions are very clear, with the aid of the colourful-printed-circuit diagrams. And also my technical background as an electrical engineering student helps me a lot in understanding stuff. However, there are still few hiccups along the way, for example, my temperature sensor heats up rapidly that it started to smell like smokes. It freaks the shit out of me as I thought I might have burnt my Arduino board for some reason. And the temperature recorded at my Serial Interface was almost 240 degree Celsius! The datasheet says that the maximum operation of the temperature sensor, TMP36 in this case, is only 150 degree Celcius! @_@
I dunno what had happen I'm not daring enough to redo the whole circuit again.
The second thing is that the relay is so sucky that it doesnt stick into the breadboard. You have to press it real hard to see the output of your circuit. It's a lil bit sad that I couldn't explore much about the relay coz apparently it is very interesting device, and most probably, very highly important in my future robot project. Or not.
So I totally recommend this kit for any beginner out there who wanna play with microcontrollers. Thanks to Oomlout for such a great kit! =)
