Arduino

Arduino is a company that focuses on hardware & software development, with a strong presence in the open-source community. They produce Development Platforms as well as expansion boards known as Shields, which offer unique functionality like Wireless connectivity, data-logging capabilities and more – all designed for hobbyists and prototypers. 

Our catalogue of Arduino products includes the common favourites like the Arduino UNO, Due, Mega, Micro and Leonardo, as well as a complement of Shields for a wide range of different applications. The boards and Shields are surprisingly affordable for the computation power and functionality that they offer, lending themselves well to experimentation and prototyping fun for both hobbyists and professionals alike. These features are then boosted further by the near-endless supply of open-source libraries and project ideas, provided by people from all over the world – like our Arduino South Africa online community – to share, enjoy and improve upon in a truly open-source style.

Finally, just to add the cherry on top of the Arduino Sundae, we also stock a range of Arduino kits in SA that are relatively easy to build, which provide all of the parts and components necessary for building robots, RC cars, home automation systems and more. So if you are looking for an exciting new electronics project, a platform to begin experimenting with, or even just more toys for your hobbyist toolbox, you have certainly come to the right place.
