Getting a started in the embedded space isn't easy. There are a lot of articles, tutorials and tipps. We also want to provide you with some of this information, and add reasoning why we recommend those things.

This is the kit we use in the Beginners Workshop. It is tailored to give people an easy introduction to embedded, while also not being too restricted in what can be done. The selected components both allow a very easy and simple interaction, but also cover digital I/O, analog signals, communication protocols, PWM and more.

NOTE: You need two micro-USB cables, but we assume you have too many of them anyways, so only get them if you really need them!

If you want to get started in embedded, you should get these tools. For beginners, a cheap tool will do the job, but later on you might want to get a better one when you know what requirements you need.

These tools listed here are definitly not needed by a beginner, but are useful to have later on. Most professionals own not only one of these, but collect several different ones over the years.
