There are cheaper Arduino starter kit, but ...

... When Fritzing kit the quality is simply total: quality hardware components, well thought-out learning concept, original Arduino UNO board (no replica), fine paper models and most importantly: a didactically and professionally excellently designed project manual, which really deserves its name , IxDS and Fritzing team have here developed a kit that can take it easy with the original starter kit of arduino.cc. Although the focus may (so around 10 years) are by Bastelbögen seemingly younger crafters, the kit is in principle also very suitable for older electronics hobbyists who want to go into the Arduino microcontroller world or just your electronics knowledge since the Kosmos kits will brush up again. Whether Windows, Mac or Linux: With proven Arduino IDE really is any very quickly with the microcontroller programming deal, the code examples are well described and provided with exercises and projects arouse your creativity. For further details, there is a very good video review on golem.de through which I have become aware of the kit. Conclusion: Not cheap, but "price-value" in the truest sense of the word and an ideal introduction to professional electronics world for anyone interested 6-66.
