We’re giving away amazing kits from our new Make: Ultimate Kit Guide EVERY DAY — thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, including MakerBots!
To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.
Today’s item is our extremely popular Getting Started with Arduino Kit V3.0 and the new 2nd edition of the Getting Started with Arduino book (combined $80 value). Here’s Make: Labs intern Tyler Moskowite’s review from the Guide:
The world of Arduino microcontrollers can be a challenge to break into — but not if you’re equipped with this kit, which includes all of the hardware you need to work through each of the experiments in Getting Started with Arduino, the popular introductory book by Arduino project co-founder Massimo Banzi. To make it even easier, all of the components are solder-free, except for the DC plug and battery pack – just plug, play, and learn. Not only does the book go over all of the Arduino’s features, it also gives a good overview of basic electronics. After completing this kit, I found myself ready to take on all sorts of physical computing projects.
To be eligible for today’s giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment below in this post. The entry period for today’s prize will be until 11:59pm PST tonight. We’ll choose one person at random, you’ll be notified by email, and you’ll have 48 hours to respond. The Winners List is kept on the Giveaway landing page. That’s it! No purchase necessary or anything else to do. Please leave only one comment per post. You can enter as many giveaways as you like until you win. This giveaway is for US residents only. You also must be 18 years old to enter (Kids: Ask your parents to enter). See the Kit-A-Day Giveaway landing page for full sweepstakes details and Official Rules.
Day 1 and 2 Giveaways: The winner of the Day 1 MakerBot giveaway was James Garrett. As you can imagine, he’s very excited. Congrats, James! Winner of Day 2 has been notified. They have 48 hours to respond.

Comment! [daniel (dot) kramnik (at) gmail (dot) com]
I’ve been talking about microcontrollers at work and have garnered enough interest to get people to try them. The sad part of this story is that I have no intention of giving them mine! I suppose if I win today’s, I’d be forced to give it to someone at the office to continue to motivate them to make things.
I want one.
:) I love Make Magazine, Maker Faire, and Arduino is (so far) a love in-progress
Here goes attempt #3 :-) Send one my way please!
I’m starting to see a pattern of non-winning here.

A post for the chance to learn Arduino? Why sure.
yes, this is sweet
Recently, I wanted to get started with Arduino but was a bit hesitant. This sounds like a great opportunity for a newbie like myself to give it a go.
Looks like a good father and kids project.
I like It!
Great for father and kids. But I don’t know whether that would be me and my kids, or me and my father :-)
Have an arduino from a couple of years ago, but really need to get “started with it”…
:)
Something great for the weekend.
Sounds like something to keep me busy. Better than some other things I could be doing. ;)
Have fun
that would be great to win
Love the hours of fun and creativity I have had and will continue to have and enjoy with the Arduino
Hmmm…who to give it too, that’s the question.
Great looking kit and book!
This is the kit I’ve been eyeing for a while now. The book would be a great bonus.
Trying again…. Yes, Arduino!
Love it!

I’ve been teaching myself electronics and this would be perfect – even buying it myself. Excellent suggestion, thanks!
arduino ftw!
Very cool way to introduce a new catalog!
I’ve been teaching myself electronics and this is an excellent suggestion, even if it’s not free!
I wonder if I could create a noise cancellation device that silenced my kids?
Oh I love Arduino, more than most of my family
I know just who to give this to.
I always wanted to learn about the Arduino :+)
Arduino + holiday lights = endless possibilities
Yes Please
This one is on my Christmas list.
I’ll take it, please.

Sweet. My son would love one!!!
A good place to start.
That’s a nice kit :)
I’ve been delaying working with arduinos for a long time, preferring to build my own first (very pleased when I received Volume 25, yet I stand sans arduino). This opportunity, however, might just squelch any further delays!
Arduino ftw!
Yep, that looks like another great giveaway.
Yay Arduino!
Please, get me started.
Please, get me started.
When you’re ready to purchase your Arduinos and other hobby items including chemicals and glassware be sure to visit http://www.hms-beagle.com.

I would like to enter the giveaway please.
With this I will begin the skynet build. World domination is mine.
I have been turning my high school students on to Make: to get them into creating things themselves. Most kids have never even built a kite from scratch! We need to get kids doing things again instead of just sitting back and receiving things that have been done for them.
This is the kind of kit to start a Make career!
I have so many ideas of things to make with an arduino, but have not been able to get a start at it, this would be great!
If I win, I’m going to give this kit too my nephew. He loves electronic making like me but he doesn’t have arduino so he needs this kit.
RIght on. I’m probably going to get my wife one of these for Christmas, so winning one would be perfect.
Need this.
Hurray for Arduino!
Arduino Rules. I’m ordering the $25 Uno with a motor shield.
Its better to give than receive unless you are receiving because you won something
These are great!
All your Arduino are belong to us.
Woohoo!
I’ve wanted for a while to try my hand at some Arduino hacking.
urchiken at gmail dot com
This is an awesome idea. Keep ’em coming!

Really great product. If you don’t win it, buy it.
I can haz?
Imagine the mischief one could get up to with this!
I’m not really ready, still figuring out capacitors, but at least it would be there when I needed it.
You can never have too many Arduinos.
I’ve only started with arduino, this would let me try more stuff, including tutorials I didn’t have the parts for, and be one more project I wouldn’t have to disassemble to start another.
The arduino is by far one of the fastest ways to get started with embedded programming. Having another would be fantastic!
This would make for a great start in the world of Arduino.
Brings back the old days of working electronic projects with a book propped up nearby.
interesting
Way to go, great starter kit!
Huzzah! Never had an Arduino before…
Step 1 – Make a LED Blink
Step 2 – Make it play Crysis
Step 3 – Re-evaluate step 2 goals.
Thanks for the opportunity to win the Arduino
This would be awesome!
Haven’t tried Arduino’s yet. This would be the perfect way to start.
Would love to try it out!

Good luck me.
Was planning on getting this for Christmas. Getting it for free would be even better.

I could do with another one of these….
Always wanted one of these :)
Sweet giveaway!
This would be excellent
What can you say Arduino’s are awesome. I already have this kit but have a couple other friends who would love to have this. So if I win today’s giveaway it’s going to one of them.
Hopefully, all your arduino are belong to me.
This sounds so sweet. Thanks :)
trying to make a device close to the “enough already” device that mutes the tv during ads.
Tossing my name in the hat. Thanks you, people of MAKE – you are making technology fun for many, many people.
looks fun!
Count me In on this one. I have to work around devices that use custom pc boards and sensors, and not only would I would love to be able to know how they function for my own purposes and creations, but to be able to communicate with the people who actualy develope them at my office.
I can’t wait to try this out!
I would love to give this to my niece …

my comment
Ooh! ooh! Pick me! This way I don’t have to tell my wife to get it for Christmas and have her wind up getting the wrong thing. :/ She gets so bored when I talk Arduino!
I looked up from my life… and realized that everyone seems to have ditched the PIC’s and gone over to this Arduino stuff. Only done a few PIC jobs, but I’ve done a fair amount with Atmel. I’ll have to check this out.
