RS Components now a distribution partner for Arduino’s educational kit

RS Components has been exclusively selected to distribute the open-source Arduino Uno educational kit. This low-cost kit aids entry-level electronics design and prototyping for students, enthusiasts and even professional engineers.

Massimo Banzi, Arduino Co-Founder, commented, “RS Components has clearly demonstrated, through initiatives like DesignSpark www.designspark.com, that supporting today’s and tomorrow’s engineers is at the core of their business ethos. This commitment to electronics design, along with their global presence, service excellence and ongoing projects to ease the online sourcing and ordering process, makes them the ideal distribution partner to take our new Arduino kit to users worldwide."

As part of the agreement,  a series of 10 video tutorials hosted by Massimo Banzi will be available free of charge from www.rs-components.com/arduino.
