A kit with all you need to learn how to solder by building your own Arduino UNO and wave synthesizer shield.
Overview
Learn the basics of electronics by assembling manually your Arduino UNO, become familiar with soldering by mounting every single component, and then unleash your creativity with the only kit that becomes a synth!
The Arduino Make Your UNO kit is really the best way to learn how to solder. And when you are done, the packaging allows you to build a synth and make your music.
A kit with all the components to build your very own Arduino UNO and audio synthesizer shield.
The Make Your UNO Kit comes with a complete set of instructions in a dedicated content platform. This includes video material, a 3D interactive viewer for following detailed instructions, and how to program your board once it is finished.
Enhance your experience with the Make Your UNO Soldering Bundle: it includes the Arduino Make Your UNO Kit and all the needed tools to build a soldering station at home.

Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 33 reviews.
This product is in my humble opinion one of the most advanced product because it allow the true freedom of electronic and programmation with a deep understanding of it reach through the documentation on Arduino.com and more. Thank you for Doing it!
Really enjoyable kit to make.
The online instructions for the synth could do with a little more explanation… or maybe just label the cardboard lid? Mainly which one is the volume would help… otherwise it can be a touch loud when after knob twiddling it suddenly screams to life!
Good product and nice idea; I preferred not to use the cardboard housing for convenience.
The potentiometers are not very sturdy and reliable.
After completion I realized LED LD4 didn't work because R6 was insulated from +5V, due to a defect or a damage of the PCB; I solved with a little bridge between R6 and R7.
I was surprised at how quickly this arrived from Italy. I had looked around at UK suppliers and they were not making it available until next year.
This will be a good project over the holiday period.
Perfect for starters like me!
You will be guided through all of the steps. Easy to build and a great satisfaction!
Highly recommended as an entry point, especially if you never worked with Arduino and/or are looking for a first project to get started.
Great product and the instructions were well put together. For some reason the 3D animations didn’t always work (using safari on iOS/macOS). Still need to play around with the end product!
The kit is easy to make assembly and soldering but i don't succeed to obtain sounds like a synthetiser !
I get only a noise !
The arduino uno kit is OK !
I can transfer shield into the memory with succesfull !
I'm teaching myself electronics at a mature age, and this kit is a great introduction. There are a couple of things that I would have liked to see though:
1) There is a step-by-step of how to solder components in the right place, but it doesn't explain what the components are and why they are placed where they are. A very brief explanation would make the learning experience MUCH reacher than it is now.
2) I got an error at the end of when uploading the software to my board, and there's no troubleshooting for it. Upon searching online, I found that many people had the same issue, but there was nothing about it in the official Arduino or Arduino IDE documentation:
"avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt of 10: not in sync: resp=0x00"
I still haven't found a solution for it...
Very interesting to understand UNO architecture. But rather delicate with soldering work that must be accurate; otherwise you have bad contacts risks... such as myself 😞
I would have preferred to have at least one spare for each component, unfortunately I broke a LOD and had to order it from an external supplier. I'm just starting out 😅
I really love this kit. You can practice soldering and afterwards, you can programm your newly build development board. I never saw any usefull kit like this ever before.
But why only 3 stars?
- The packaging is not okay. My Atmega328 had some legs folded to the bottom of the chip, because the socket was on exactly the opposite side of it (which caused bent pins on the socket, too)
- My clock crystall did not work. I do not know, if I killed it during soldering or if it was doa, but it was frustrating to find the cause of the functionless board. I had some spares, so it was no problem to substitute it, but I would have liked it, if there would be a spare in the kit.
Without my knowledge and other spare parts, it would have been impossible to fix this board. The error the IDE was by the way, that it could not communicate withe Atmega328. It will retry it 10 times and cancel the programming afterwards. If you power on the board and the LED on pin 13 is not blinking, it might indicate a broken crystall or capacitor next to it (the yellow/brown-ish ones).
Everything else worked fine and I was surprised to see, how handy the PCB with the LED and resistor was, to find the faulty crystall.
