Complete Prototyping Starter Kit - ESP32 + Breadboard + Power Supply + Jumper Wires
If you want to start building real electronics projects with WiFi, Bluetooth, and sensors, this bundle is the fastest path from zero to working hardware. The ESP32-WROOM-32 development board, MB-102 breadboard, 3.3V/5V power supply module, and 65 jumper wires arrive together - nothing else required except a USB-C cable and a laptop to get your first project running.
The ESP32-WROOM-32 (38-pin, USB-C) brings dual-core 240MHz processing, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.2 to every project you build. The MB-102 830-point breadboard provides a solderless workspace for wiring sensors and components without soldering. The switchable 3.3V/5V power module feeds clean regulated voltage directly to the breadboard rails from USB. The 65 assorted jumper wires handle routing for circuits of any complexity.
What can you build with this kit? Start with our free Project Guides in the Projects section: a WiFi temperature monitor (add the NTC thermistor), a gas leak alarm (add the MQ-2 sensor), or an ultrasonic parking sensor (add the HC-SR04). All sensor components are available individually in our shop. From there, expand into home automation, BLE beacons, MQTT data logging, or web-served dashboards. The ESP32's built-in WiFi means every project can connect to your phone or the internet without additional hardware.
Saves $2.00 versus purchasing the ESP32 dev board and breadboard kit separately. Program in Arduino IDE, MicroPython, or Espressif's native ESP-IDF framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
What else do I need besides this kit to get started?
You need a USB-C cable (to connect the ESP32 to your laptop) and a laptop with Arduino IDE or Thonny installed - both are free. A standard USB phone charger can power the breadboard power supply module. That is it. No additional hardware is required to run your first program or complete our beginner project guides.
Does this kit include any sensors?
This kit includes the ESP32 dev board, breadboard, power module, and jumper wires only. Sensors are sold separately in our shop. To build the Gas Leak Alarm project, add the MQ-2 Gas Sensor. For the Parking Sensor project, add the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor. For the Temperature Monitor, add the NTC 5D-15 Thermistor. Each sensor component page links to its full project guide.
Is this kit suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes, with a small initial learning curve. The ESP32 is more capable than an Arduino Uno and takes a similar setup effort. Arduino IDE installation and board package setup takes about 10-15 minutes and is well documented with video tutorials. Our Project Guides walk through complete builds step by step with all code provided. If you have never worked with electronics before, expect an afternoon to get oriented, after which projects go quickly.
What programming language does the ESP32 use?
With Arduino IDE, you write C++ using simplified Arduino syntax - no advanced C++ knowledge is required. With MicroPython and the Thonny IDE, you write Python. Both are free and well-documented. Most beginners start with Arduino IDE due to the larger library and tutorial ecosystem available for ESP32 projects.
Can I use this kit for a school project or maker course?
Absolutely. This kit covers the fundamental prototyping workflow used in university electronics labs, community college maker courses, and hobbyist workshops. The ESP32's combination of WiFi, Bluetooth, GPIO, ADC, and processing power makes it a common teaching platform for IoT and embedded systems courses.
