Shopping list #1

Please find below the material you will need for learning the Arduino basics.

I report the links to the robot-italy.com website, which represents a viable option. 
Of course, there may be better choices and you are free to get the items
from any online or physical store you prefer. Here I list the items
based on this website so that you can either buy them directly, or use the list as reference.

Since when buying online there are delivery costs (around 7 Eur for a set as above), 
it might make sense to place a single order for more teams (ideally all). But please 
do not do so if this delays too much the order!

THIS MATERIAL WILL BE NEEDED BY THE NEXT LECTURE, SO, IF YOU ARE PLANNING 
TO BUY IT ONLINE, PLEASE CONSIDER THE DELIVERY TIME.

-1- Arduino UNO R3 (Please use exactly this version)
  http://www.robot-italy.com/en/arduino-uno-r3.html

-2- 400 tie point Bread Board (or any other breadboard you like)
  http://www.robot-italy.com/en/400-tie-point-bread-board.html

-3- Three Micro PCB Push Switches

-6- A pack of Jumper Wires 11cm for breadboard (10pcs)
  http://www.robot-italy.com/en/jumper-wires-m-m-11cm-10pcs.html

-7- Some LEDs. These are sold in packs of 10.
    You will need to have a bunch of each color, say 3 red, 
    3 green and 3 yellow, so you can coordinate with other teams to 
    avoid buying too many (although a pack costs around 1 Eur)

(The total cost should be around 50 Eur.)

Sometimes, items are not available. In that case, buy all those available and notify me about those missing.

Finally, in order to program the Arduino you will need a laptop and a
USB cable to connect it. If you do not have a spare USB cable, you can
order one as well, for example one of the following:

-13- USB cable (standard type A-B)

PLEASE MAKE YOUR ORDER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SO THAT THE ITEMS ARRIVE ON TIME
FOR THE NEXT LECTURE.

As for the upcoming lecture, PLEASE BRING A LAPTOP WITH YOU
if you have one, and any of the material you have from this Arduino
shopping list, as we will be going over some basic programming
tricks that you can try during the lecture.

Also, have the Arduino Software installed on your laptop. This can be downloaded
from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. You will need to download and install
the latest version. Follow the instructions in the website.
