Modern
electronic experimenter kits contain modules that just plug together rather
than individual components so that now we can quickly get modules talking and
then decide in software how the system behaves. Thanks to the wide selection of
software library functions we can have a sketch up and running in no time.
These kits are
worthy successors to the bags of loose components that were a feature of
earlier experimenter’s kits. Electronic newbies, practicing engineers and old
hands alike are sure to find that these kits interesting. The range of
components is sure to get you thinking what you could use them for and they are
a good way to build on your existing knowledge.
You’ll
have no excuse not to go on to design and build your own system!
The ‘RFID
Starter Kit for Arduino’ comes in a handy case and contains over 30
state-of-the-art components, devices and modules. Although it contains an RFID
receiver module along with two RFID tags in the form of a credit card and key
fob, the case is an Aladdin’s cave with loads of other useful components. To
begin you will need an Arduino Uno along with the starter kit which amongst
other things contains:
The wide range of peripherals
included in the kit ensures the number of different experiments and
applications you can build. Two example applications that can easily be built
using this box of goodies have been described in an article published
in Elektor Magazine: Universal weather station with LC-Display and Door
entry system using RFID security.
