Please note that we are happy for you to source the following equipment from any vendor. We have no affiliations or financial interest in selling electronics, we just want students to get their gear via reputable distributors at competitive prices, shipped quickly. Please use the discussion forums if you find better prices but in my experience, Core Electronics are Australian, reputable and competitive on price.

We have deliberately itemised these to enable you to buy what you need. Some of you may already have these things lying around so we didn't want to produce a kit. Most of you will have a spare USB charger lying around so that has not been included.

The kit below is designed to contain everything required to complete the unit with nothing more than a laptop with 8GB RAM and a spare USB port. We have carefully designed this so that you do not even need an external monitor with a HDMI port and keyboard. You also do not require a soldering iron or soldering skills. You may initially require a small screwdriver set.
