Hi,

Suggest you go for the Ardunio Uno board as its about the most popular standard board.


You just connect it to your USB port on the PC and your program it though that from the Arduino IDE program thats a free download .

As your experiments grow then a small Breadboard and wires will be needed, though they are cheap enough.

As said there are many Arduino tutorials and Ytubes, have a look at a few and go with the one that you can follow the easiest.

Here is just one popular tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCxzA9_kg6s

As Nagkiller rightly says start off from the beginning with a flashing led.

Thank you for your answers.But the arduino official startet kit costs 100 $ on amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/Arduino-Star...8&qid=1403601536&sr=8-14&keywords=arduino+uno ) , thats quite expensive. So i am wondering if the other starter kits that are not official are good, like this one : https://www.amazon.com/Arduino-Ulti...F8&qid=1403601536&sr=8-4&keywords=arduino+uno Does the book that these kits include is any good?
