I haven't used Arduino but I know Electus distributions sell it.

Hi Alex,
You will find my little brother Stuart is at the bottom of the page in their Twitter Accounts.
You might be able to find the book at Amazon. I think that's where my school library purchased it.

Cheers
Neville

Hi Neville,
As always, thank you for the reference and contribution, I did not know about this company.
Good book, kits to start with. I have ordered the book but learnt that it is temporarily unavailable.
Hope it will  be reprinted soon.

H Ken,

You could try Freetronics. Good prices and service. They specialise in Arduino. It is run by Jonathan Oxler who wrote the "Practical Arduino" Book . If you are starting out you should get the book.

Went to Top Designs on Monday.

Some fantastic projects and a lot of them seem to be using Arduino.

Being an old picaxe guy, I think I might be missing out so I am going to buy some Arduino kits for use in my systems class.

There seems to be a number of different prototype boards and kits available which is a little confusing to an Arduino novice.  I see Wiltronics have them and they are even on ebay.

Can anyone suggest a good Arduino kit to start off with. Looking for value for money. Hopefully the kit will come will activities included. If you know any good Arduino websites, that would also be appreciated.

Hopefully someone out there can assist.
