LaskaKit Arduino MAXI Starter kit, RFID

Product detailed description

The LaskaKit Arduino MAXI Starter kit is our largest beginner set, featuring an Arduino UNO R3, UNO R4 WiFi or Mega 2560 board and over 30 types of components – from LEDs and buttons to displays, sensors and motors, all the way to an RFID reader. The kit includes a guide with 31 lessons, where you will wire the circuit step by step, upload the program, and understand how each component works. You will start by blinking an LED and gradually progress to a real-time clock, a stepper motor, remote control, or an access system with an RFID card and keypad. All components are stored in a plastic partitioned box, so nothing gets lost.

Important wiring notice:

• The RFID reader comes with un-soldered pin headers, which you will need to solder. Other modules have pins already soldered. If you prefer not to solder, please let us know in the order notes and we will solder them for you.
• Power the RFID reader only from the 3.3V pin; 5V voltage will destroy it.
• If the LCD display lights up but does not show anything, adjust the contrast using the trimmer on the back of the adapter. You can find the display address (usually 0x27, sometimes 0x3F) using the program from lesson 5.
• Seven-segment displays may have a common cathode (CC) or a common anode (CA). The manual in lesson 18 explains how to determine the type and what to change in the program.
• Resistors are marked with colour bands; their values can be found in the introduction of the manual.
• With the UNO R4 WiFi board, the Arduino IDE will display a warning for the LiquidCrystal I2C library stating that it is intended for the AVR architecture. You can ignore this warning; the library works correctly.
