i'm wondering if anyone sells a kit of components for like a secondary level of hobbyist... like a next step up from an arduino inventors kit. Something that includes a bunch of components such as:
- Some ATMega328P-PU chips
- sockets
- FTDI USB breakout board
- caps
- oscillators
- A bunch of perfboards
- a bunch of Header pins (female and male)
- hookup wire
- voltage regulators
- power connectors
- battery packs
- Other basic stuff that we all have to buy as small packages
maybe some other next step components like bluetooth or rf transceivers, etc.
EDIT: i know you can also buy individual board-duino kind of kits that just come with the top 5 items but i'm thinking something more inclusive that has a bunch of other stuff you need.
It seems like there are a ton of beginner level arduino kits designed to get people making things on a breadboard with an arduino hooked up, but after you do that for a while and want to start building your own stuff you're kind of left ordering individual or bulk parts. I have a well stocked parts drawers, but it would be cool if someone made a kit of everything you need to move from arduino to the next level of making stuff.
