Those who already possess basic knowledge Arduino circuits or have gone through the beginner’s level kit can opt for Arduino Intermediate Level box, known as Spark kit. We have divided the features and benefits into two sections. The first section talks about the specific features of the kit, whereas the second section emphasizes on general advantages of learning Arduino at an intermediate level.

Learn Logic Gates

Understanding logic gates for the first time could be confusing. The textbooks and tutorials often confuse the young learners. With Spark kit, the learners will not only understand the Logic Gates but they will also design those circuits. The reason the logic gates are widely used is that they are economical and simple. They are used in buzzers, burglar alarm switches, push button switches (doorbells), street lights, etc. The applications also extend to computation and processing.

All necessary components

Using the ultrasonic sensor in the kit, you can create your obstacle avoiding robot. Keypad and motor from the kit enables you to design complex circuits that have real-life applications. You will also find a voltage regulator and an LCD in the kit. Learn to design devices that receive data using different sensors and forward it to PC and mobile devices.

Activity manual with 12 projects

The kit comes with an activity manual consisting of 12 unique projects. Working principle and step-by-step instructions of each project are mentioned. The code required to run the project is also present in the manual.

General benefits of learning to design complex Arduino circuits

Plenty of job opportunities

A few years ago, Arduino was considered just a tool for hobbyists. Things have drastically changed, as it is not difficult to secure a good job opportunity if you are well-versed with embedded systems. If you simply type, ‘Embedded System Jobs’ or ‘Arduino Jobs,’ you will receive numerous openings related to Embedded Systems Engineer, Expert, or other such jobs. The demand for Arduino experts is going to multiply with more companies venturing into such technologies.

It’s an open-source hardware

An open-source hardware means you are allowed to adapt or modify the hardware as per your own wish. You can even sell the modified version or a kit designed using it without paying royalty or license fee. Though, there are some credit-related requirements you need to be aware of. Plenty of robot makers and tinkerers have earned handsome profits by selling kits and products based on Arduino. You can even create models using the parts provided in the kit by Our STEM Box online or by directly reaching the interested customers.

Master your programming skills

Now that you have shown interest in Intermediate-level kit, we guess that you are already aware of basic programming. By working on the middle-level projects, you can upgrade your programming skills. If you are new to the world of programming, fret not. The programming environment of Arduino -- Arduino IDE -- lets you perform complicated coding tasks, including parsing GPS, writing to SD cards, or displaying data on LCD screens. This is made possible through the libraries, which are basically object-wrapped libraries, or simply segment of codes.

All these features and benefits have made Spark one of the most popular Arduino kits in India.
