bboyho Introduction
This SparkFun Tinker Kit is your map for navigating the waters of beginning embedded electronics, robotics and citizen science using the SparkFun RedBoard while sticking to a strict budget. This guide contains all the information you will need to explore the 11 circuits of the SparkFun Tinker Kit. At the center of this guide is one core philosophy -- that anyone can (and should) play around with cutting-edge electronics in a fun and playful way while not breaking the bank.
When you're done with this guide, you'll have the know-how to start creating your own projects and experiments. From building robots and game controllers to data logging, the world will be your oyster. Now enough talking -- let's start tinkering!
