Complete Your Arduino Purchase - What's Included & Add-Ons

Most Arduino boards come as PCB-only modules - ideal for those with existing USB cables, power, and breadboards. For first-timers and classrooms, consider adding:

  • Official or compatible USB cables (type varies: check product page)
  • Pre-jumpered breadboards for rapid circuit assembly
  • Ready-made sensor kits or individual modules (temperature, IR, ultrasonic, relay, etc.)
  • Relevant shields: Ethernet, LCD, motor driver, relay, and WiFi
  • Power supplies: 5V regulated (mains adapters or battery packs)
Compatibility Note: Always match board headers/USB type and voltages before adding shields or accessories. Product pages specify Arduino-compatible models for easier selection.

How the Online Order Process Works

  1. Select your Arduino board and add any shields, sensors, or cables needed
  2. Check live stock, estimated delivery, and branch pickup options
  3. Choose delivery or branch collection at checkout (Samrand, Pretoria, Cape Town)
  4. Secure payment (EFT, card) and receive a VAT invoice for your records
