A Few Words
ABOUT THIS KIT
The overall goal of this kit is fun. Beyond this, the aim is to get you
comfortable using a wide range of electronic components through small, easy
circuits. The focus is to get each circuit working then give you the tools to
figure out why. If you encounter any problems, want to ask a question, or
would like to know more about any part, extra help is only an e-mail away
help@oomlout.com.
ABOUT OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE
All of the projects at SparkFun and .:oomlout:. are open source. What does this mean? It means
everything involved in making this kit, be it this guide, 3D models, or code, is available for free
download. But it goes further, you're also free to reproduce and modify any of this material, then
distribute it for yourself. The catch? Quite simple; it is released under a Creative Commons (By - Share
Alike) license. This means you must credit .:oomlout:. in your design and share your developments in a
similar manner. Why? We grew up learning and playing with open source software and the experience
was good fun, we think it would be lovely if a similar experience was possible with physical things.
