The Gravity Arduino Starter kit is a plug & play electronics toolkit that provides Arduino beginners and makers with the easiest experience of learning and playing with the Arduino platform.
The kit includes a DFRduino UNO R3 microcontroller, which functions exactly the same as Arduino UNO, and 12 most popular and interesting electric components and sensors. With the IO expansion shield, sensors can be connected directly onto the board without jumper wires or bread-board. The sensors in the kit belong to DFRobot's Gravity Series and are built highly modularised and interact with microcontrollers via a 3-pin header. Moreover, different types of sensors can be easily identified by the logo printed on the back of the PCB board. All components included in the kit are fully compatible with Arduino microcontrollers.
The Gravity Starter Kit also includes a tutorial, which aims to help Arduino learners understand Arduino programming. The tutorial goes through the installation of the software, the Arduino IDE, and its programming language, then teaches you how to build electric circuits, how to use different electric components and their function. It also includes instructions for building projects, from lighting up an LED, to using multiple components to making a real project such as 'Fire Alarm' or 'Weather Station'. The tutorial is full of graphics and is written in such a way that anyone can build their own project.
