Beginner Arduino UNO kit for learning inputs, outputs, sensors, display wiring, and simple motion. Builds real first projects using LEDs, buzzer alerts, ultrasonic distance sensing, servo movement, potentiometer control, and LCD1602 display output.
Every one is built from the parts in the box, plus the basics listed under You'll also need.
Learn digital outputs, current-limiting resistors, and simple timing.
Turn a digital pin into a clear audible alert.
Measure distance and print readings to Serial Monitor.
Beep faster and change LED color as an object gets closer.
Move a servo automatically, then rewire the potentiometer to A0 and control the servo angle by hand.
Show text, sensor values, and project status on the 16x2 display. In this project the potentiometer is used for LCD contrast.
Combine distance readings, screen output, and alerts into one beginner-friendly build.
No projects in that group.
