Snapino is an introduction to the open source Arduino hardware-software world. Learn to code and utilize your Snap Circuits modules at the same time. Snap Circuits are easy to use and their large format and easy to handle prototyping circuit designs a snap. No need for bread boarding since Snap Circuits snap together and Snapino has the same functionality as any other Arduino compatible board. Snapino can be used with breadboards and standard jumper wires along with Arduino compatible shiels and sensors. Snapino is the Arduino compatible Snap Circuits system that makes coding a snap. Snapino utilizes the user friendly Arduino open source hardware - software environment as a fantastic introduction to coding and microcontrollers Includes 20 projects that gradually introduce you to Arduino coding with sketches (programs) already written for operating the 14 included parts. Product Overview: CODE: Introduction to the open source Arduino hardware-software coding environment used by the Maker community worldwide MAKERS: Arduino is the most popular microcontroller used by Makers and Do-It-Yourselfers PROTOTYPING: Make prototyping circuit designs a snap. Snap Circuits are easy to use and the large format component modules are easy to handle COMPATIBLE: Backwards compatible with Snap Circuits kits and Arduino compatible shields and components Snapino can (but does not have to) be used with breadboard and standard jumper wires along with Arduino compatible shields and sensors Includes: 20 projects that gradually introduce you to Arduino coding with sketches (programs) already written for operating the 14 included parts.
