Sources and connections to Arduino

For those not familiar, the Arduino is an open code and hardware platform to simplify the development of prototypes and learning programming using microprocessors. This text describes sources and connections to connect the Arduino to the protoboard, sensors and other cards.

Below we have the 9V source that feeds the Arduino. You can feed too using the 5V USB:

In addition to the source, I bought these adapters for 9V battery:

Below the source and battery adapter:

Now a very important option! As the Arduino has type connectors “male” on the Board, wires with female-female connectors facilitate the connection of any additional hardware:

This set of 40 wiring allows connection of hardware to the Arduino boards without problems.

The yarn is quite large. You can do multiple projects.

But to connect the Arduino to the protoboard will need wires with connector “male”. This set of 68 male-to-male yarn is great for that:

I don't quite understand why they came so many wires with small size (20cm) and few with big size (30cm). But the quality of the leads is good.

Check the cable for protoboard pictured below:

Before buying these products I always adapted a any source and network cable to make my projects. It's great not needing them! I leave below links to the products, purchased in DealExtreme:
