I’m looking at purchasing Arduino Uno R3s for schools, does the RB-Ard-34 come with the usb cord, or does it have to be purchased separately?
Hey @jwarsenault!
RB-Ard-34 does not come with a USB cable, unfortunately. Alternatively, the Arduino Basic Kit (RB-Rbo-16) comes with a bunch of stuff to get you started: https://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/robotshop-arduino-basic-kit.html
Robotshop also have the USB cables for cheap: https://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/15m-usb-cable-type-a-to-b.html
For learning Arduino for the first time, I strongly recommend this one: https://www.robotshop.com/en/cytron-maker-uno-plus-microcontroller.html
Comes with onboard buzzer and LED at each I/O pins, easy for troubleshooting for both teachers and students. USB cable is also included.

The only downside, really, is the lack of a barrel connector. Other than that, it seems to be a better product and cheaper.
