Course Kit
Custom Course Kit
We have a custom kit for the course, which was packaged and provided by the great people at Sparkfun. Students will need to purchase this course kit in lieu of a textbook. In addition to items in the course kit, ITP will provide enrolled students with an Photon 2 microcontroller and a few extra components.
