This is a beginner-friendly way to spark a passion in DIY electronics. ## Pricing - **Price:** $174.95 (inc GST) — $159.05 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 5+ $157.45 (exc GST) · 10+ $155.86 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=AKX00069:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/AKX00069:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description **Plug and Make Kit is the easiest way to get started with Arduino**. It includes everything you need for your first seven projects – as well as many more that the Arduino community shares and you can invent yourself! Start from the one that sparks your interest, and keep exploring to define your own tech journey: - **Weather Report**: Never get caught in the rain again, with a visual reminder to take an umbrella when needed - **Hourglass**: Who needs an egg timer? Customise your own digital hourglass - **Eco Watch**: Make sure your plants thrive in the perfect temperature and humidity - **Game Controller**: Level up with your very own HID (Human Interface Device) gamepad - **Sonic Synth**: Get one step closer to being a rockstar, DJ or sound engineer! - **Smart Lights**: Set the mood with your very own smart lamp - **Touchless Lamp**: Control lights with a simple gesture Each idea is the inspiration for a fun activity that will not only teach you the basics of do-it-yourself electronics but leave you with a great sense of accomplishment. You can make technology too! ### **Make it a Snap - Control it via the App!** Once you’ve built your device following the clear step-by-step tutorials, you’ll find all the resources and support you may need via [Arduino Cloud](https://cloud.arduino.cc/) – including: - A dedicated content platform in multiple languages (Italian and English available; French, German and Spanish coming soon!) - Free and easy-to-use programming tools - A smartphone app to monitor and control IoT devices - Readily available Arduino Cloud templates (pre-configured projects) to get up and running in minutes - Unlimited dashboards to visualize data any way you wish, even on your smartphone ### **New To Arduino?** The Plug and Make Kit is perfect for beginners! Arduino's comprehensive, free, multilingual online guide will walk you through the entire Arduino ecosystem. In addition to the seven fully documented projects to spark your creativity, it has detailed instructions on using the innovative Modulino® nodes. It’s a guide designed to make your learning journey smooth and enjoyable, ensuring you can dive into making with confidence. ### **What's in the Box?** The Arduino Plug and Make Kit is based on an innovative hardware approach: components just connect together – no breadboard, jumper wires or soldering needed. Inside the box, you will find: - The cutting-edge Arduino UNO R4 WiFi main board: The powerhouse of your projects. - 7 Modulino® nodes: Sensors and actuators for different functionalities (see details below) - A Modulino Base to keep your projects looking and feeling neat. - USB-C® cable with USB-A adapter: Easily power up and upload code to your Arduino. - Qwiic cables: Effortlessly connect Modulino® nodes and the Arduino board. - Spacers, screws, and nuts: Secure everything in place for a permanent installation. The Plug and Make Kit has been designed to be easy, quick and fun. We’ve taken care of the complexity, so you can turn your ideas into fully operational devices even in a single session. **Start a new hobby, or perhaps a lifelong passion, by accessing the full potential of technology – and yours.** ### **What Are Modulino®?** Modulino® are sensors and actuators that simply connect via the UNO R4 WiFi’s onboard Qwiic connector. You can connect more than one for more complex projects and never have to wonder which side goes where, because the connector is polarised. The Plug and Make Kit includes one of each: - **Modulino Knob**: for super-fine value adjustments - **Modulino Pixels**: eight LEDs to shine bright, dim down, or change colour – you choose! - **Modulino Distance**: a time-of-flight proximity sensor to measure distances with precision - **Modulino Movement**: to perfectly capture movements like pitch, roll or tilt - **Modulino Buzzer**: to generate your own alarm sounds or simple tunes - **Modulino Thermo**: a sensor for both temperature and humidity data - **Modulino Buttons**: three buttons for quick project navigation ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/A/K/AKX00069-1.jpg)
