The Parts You Need
Here’s a list of the parts you need to work through all the projects in this
book. In addition, each chapter lists the parts you’ll need for that chapter’s
projects, so you can try projects chapter by chapter without buying all the
components at once. Although there appears to be a lot of components here,
they’re all fairly inexpensive, and you can buy all the parts you need for all
of the projects in this book for about $200.
Starter Packs
Many online shops sell Arduino components and electronic parts. Some of
the best are Maker Shed
1
and Adafruit.

They have awesome starter packs,
and I strongly recommend buying one of these.
At the time of this writing, the best and cheapest solution is to buy the Adafruit
Experimentation Kit for Arduino (product ID 170). It contains many of the
parts you need to build the book’s examples, as well as many more useful
parts that you can use for your own side projects. Check the current contents
of the kit, but usually you have to buy the following parts separately:
• Parallax PING))) sensor
• ADXL335 accelerometer breakout board
• 6-pin 0.1-inch standard header
• Nintendo Nunchuk controller
• A passive infrared sensor
• An infrared LED
• An infrared receiver
• An Ethernet shield
• A Proto shield
• An RCA (composite video) cable
