Welcome to the interactive electronic world!

DFRobot proudly presents the Beginner Kit for those interested in learning about Arduino and electronics. Starting from basic LED control to more advanced environmental sensing, monitoring, and actuators, this comprehensive kit guides learners in exploring how to sense and control the physical world using Arduino-compatible sensors and microcontrollers through carefully designed hands-on projects.

Now fully upgraded, the kit includes 35 commonly used electronic components—such as premium jumper wires, resistors, LEDs, 9g servos, IR remote transmitters and receivers, as well as newly added modules like a relay, motor, fan, potentiometer, and more. Combined with 30 structured lessons, the kit provides a systematic and engaging Introduction to both electronics and programming.


High-Quality Electronic Components – Entry-Level Education

The kit contains a DFRduino UNO R3 (fully compatible with Arduino UNO R3) and a DFRobot prototype shield, both of which are fully supported by the Arduino IDE. With attention to detail in hardware selection, packaging, and production, the kit ensures dependable performance and long-term usability. Components are professionally labeled and organized for efficient access and intuitive assembly.


Systematic Course Setup

  • Course Outline

    The kit includes 30 Arduino-compatible projects, structured to guide learners from basic to more complex concepts. Each project covers both software and hardware fundamentals—ranging from blinking LEDs and temperature monitoring to sensor fusion and visual feedback using an LED matrix.

    In addition to basic programming concepts such as variables and loops, learners also gain hands-on understanding of electronic components like sensors, actuators, and transistors.

  • Course Structure

    Each lesson is structured in five phases:

    Materials List ? Hardware Connection ? Code Input ? Code Walkthrough ? Hardware Explanation

    This progression encourages both immediate implementation and deeper exploration of programming logic and electronic design. Unlike conventional tutorials, this set emphasizes the interpretation of Arduino code and the understanding of circuit principles, helping to build a foundation for independent development and creative prototyping.

    Systematic Course Setup        

  • Project Cards

    The kit includes 30 project cards with circuit wiring diagrams and concise task descriptions. These cards allow for flexible learning—students or users can freely select any project to begin their exploration, while educators can use them to facilitate classroom workshops, extracurricular programs, and introductory engineering labs.


  • User-Sponsored Contents

  • Developer Support – Mobile Application

    A user-developed mobile app enables learners to read tutorials and write Arduino code on the go, making it easier to learn and experiment anytime, anywhere.

    User-sponsored mobile app for developers        

  • Global Collaboration – Multilingual Resources

    User-contributed translations of the tutorials are available in English, Korean, Russian, and other languages, supporting international learners and educators.

  • User-sponsored translations tutorials
