## Description

This is the new revision of the kit. We switched to a better trimpot and green LED. This is a kit that gives you all of the basic thru-hole components you will need to get started playing with embedded projects. These are the ‘bubble gum’ parts that we regularly use. A good starter assortment of caps, ICs, regulators, diodes, and good-for-blinky LEDs. Be sure to look through our [tutorials](https://core-electronics.com.au/commerce/tutorials.php) for some great projects.

 This assortment of parts makes a great gift for beginner and advanced electronics nerds! For more gift ideas check out the SparkFun Gift Guide!

 You may notice there are no resistors in this kit. We recommend purchasing the resistor kit listed below for all the resistor values you may need.
