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/KIT-18577:1.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 The SparkFun Tinker Kit (STK) is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the Arduino programming language. This latest version of the STK adds in the Qwiic functionality, blended with elements of our educator [MESA](https://learn.sparkfun.com/MESA2015) kit. Each SparkFun Tinker Kit includes everything you need to complete 11 circuits that will teach you how to blink an LED, read sensors, drive servos, and more. You don't need any previous programming or electronics experience to use this kit. The online STK Experiment Guide (in the *Documents* section below) contains step-by-step instructions of how to connect each circuit with the included parts. Full example code is provided and explained and even includes troubleshooting tips in case something goes wrong. The kit does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 10 and up. This miniature version of the SIK will help prove that anyone can (and should) play around with cutting-edge electronics in a fun and playful way while not breaking the bank. *The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can't hook it up wrong.* [Get Started With the Activity Guide for SparkFun Tinker Kit](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/activity-guide-for-sparkfun-tinker-kit/) #### Examples - [STK Activity Guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/activity-guide-for-sparkfun-tinker-kit/) - SparkFun MESA Portal #### What's Included - [SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic](https://core-electronics.com.au/sparkfun-redboard-qwiic.html) - [SparkFun Motor Driver (with Headers)](https://core-electronics.com.au/sparkfun-motor-driver-dual-tb6612fng-with-headers-42061.html) - [Breadboard - Self-Adhesive (White)](https://core-electronics.com.au/breadboard-self-adhesive-white.html) - [Servo -- Sub-Micro Size](https://core-electronics.com.au/servo-generic-sub-micro-size.html) - [Hobby Gearmotor -- 200 RPM (Pair)](https://core-electronics.com.au/hobby-gearmotor-140-rpm-pair.html) - [Temperature Sensor -- TMP36](https://core-electronics.com.au/temperature-sensor-tmp36.html) - [Mini Photocell](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-photocell-8807.html) - [Pizeo Speaker](https://core-electronics.com.au/piezo-speaker-pc-mount-12mm-2-048khz.html) - [Reversible USB A to Reversible Micro-B Cable - 0.8m](https://core-electronics.com.au/reversible-usb-a-to-reversible-micro-b-cable-0-8m.html) - [Jumper Wires -- 7" M/M 30 AWG (30 Pack)](https://core-electronics.com.au/jumper-wires-standard-7-m-m-pack-of-30.html) - [LED - RGB Diffused Common Cathode](https://core-electronics.com.au/led-rgb-diffused-common-cathode.html) - [Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green LEDs](https://core-electronics.com.au/led-assorted-20-pack.html) - [Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green Buttons](https://core-electronics.com.au/multicolor-buttons-4-pack.html) - [Mini Power Switch](https://core-electronics.com.au/spdt-mini-power-switch.html) - [10K Trimpot](https://core-electronics.com.au/trimpot-10k-with-knob.html) - [Battery Holder - 4xAA to Barrel Jack Connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/battery-holder-4xaa-to-barrel-jack-connector.html) - [330](https://core-electronics.com.au/resistor-330-ohm-1-4-watt-pth-20-pack-thick-leads.html) and [10K](https://core-electronics.com.au/resistor-10k-ohm-1-4-watt-pth-20-pack-thick-leads.html) Resistors ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/i/m/image_3339.jpg)
