An Arduino Microcontroller is one of the most common tools for home automation and electronics projects used anywhere! The possibilities are endless, and once you pick up the basics taught in this YouTube tutorial series, the only limit to what you can build is your own imagination!

If you want to use the exact Arduino kit we use in this video you can find it here: https://amzn.to/3zppXAr

If you just want an Arduino microcontroller you can get it here: https://amzn.to/3U8r0g7

If you need an Arduino connection cable, you need this type of cable (you probably have one of these around, check before buying something else!!):

For this specific project if you don't have the full Arduino beginner kit, you'll need to get an LED light, 220 Ohm resistor, some basic mini jumper wires and a push button switch to build this circuit. I recommend getting yourself a breadboard for all your builds, they aren't expensive and are extremely useful!!

In the upcoming weeks and months we'll do progressively more and more advanced projects with bigger and better programs and more complex circuitry and electrical components! If you want to see something specific on the channel be sure to let me know about it in the comments below!
