We hope you enjoy putting together microcontroller products as much as we do.  To help you do this, we're adding some basic prototyping tools - in this case, LEDS in six different colours:

We had our LEDs custom manufactured specifically for prototyping. That means they're going to work down to low current levels, handle high peak current, be visible at wide angles and they're in a range of 6 colours.  They all have a diffused lens, even the blue and white LEDs, so you know which one's the blue LED even when its not lit.  They're available in single colour packs of 1 or 25, and even a multicolour pack of 25.

Jumper wires are an essential part of our prototyping kit.  We use stacks of them to connect boards together.  Our jumpers come in the male and female varieties of course, and they're in packs of 10 different colours.  We got frustrated with the limited number of colours available...so we had some specially made for us - now you can enjoy them too!

Check out the LEDs and jumpers over in the Products section.
