What’s in the box?

 

 

You’ve got your MAKERbuino box, awesome! Thank you for supporting our project!

 

First of all, follow the list of included components and the text below and make sure that you have all the required components laid out on 
your table and ready for soldering.

 

 

If something from the list is missing, please tell us vi[email protected]. Your MAKERbuino was hand packed with love in Croatia by us 
(humans), and humans make mistakes, so 

everything’s

 possible.

 

  

 

List of components 

Here you can find a table of your kit’s content.

 

The content of your kit may vary depending on the type you’ve bought (i.e. the kit with tools comes 

required tools and the 

inventor’s pack has some extra inventor’s components included).

 

If you do not know what every single one of these components looks like, please 

don’t

 worry, 

we’ll

 cover every 

component and its purpose in the following section after the table of content.
