Starter Kit

Arduino + TouchShield + BackPack MeCap = Starter Kit. It’s just what the name suggests. Everything you need to get off the ground.

This combo kit includes everything you’d need to make portable, Arduino-based gadget with a TouchScreen OLED. I suppose you could make your own iPod video with it, or make a program like BitDJ that to record and playback bit I/O sequences.

I’ve just added a new option for wide screen that includes the new TouchShield Slide. It’s brand new so I haven’t written a lot of code for it yet, but it’s just as easy to program as the TouchShield Stealth.

Since so many people have asked, I’ve also added the option to swap in a HiCap as well!
