SparkFun Tinker Kit (KIT-18577) is designed to help beginning Makers learn the basics of electronics, along with programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino programming language. The Tinker Kit includes everything needed to complete 11 circuits, such as blinking an LED, reading sensors, driving servos, and more. No previous programming or electronics experience is required.
The Tinker Kit includes access to an online Experiment Guide containing step-by-step instructions on connecting each circuit with the included parts. Full example code is provided and explained, and the Experiment Guide even includes troubleshooting tips if something goes wrong.
The Tinker Kit also incorporates the Qwiic Connect System, adding additional expandability. The Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields, and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. The connectors are polarized to prevent incorrect wiring.
The SparkFun Tinker Kit does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 10 and up.
