Bought a few things for my Arduino! - HerrWinston - Dec 1, 2025
Hello you all, i have ordered a few things and i wanted to explain a little what all the things are that i bought, atleast most .
I bought most of my electronical things from AZ delivery yesterday because of their INSANE black friday deals and I have bought from them before and I am very happy with what they offer :)
Now lets get to what I have bought
1 XXXL Mystery box
Yes yes I know, but man I am hyped to unpack that thing, i am not too sure how much stuff is in that box but once i unpacked it I will share in a spoiler what i got
In black friday this one cost 50€ except 175€ pretty insane
I also bought this mainly because I didnt know what other things I could get and hope to get some inspiration and project ideas out of this :)
Door Lock DIY project
this one was also i think 20% less and it was one of the projects I def wanted to do when I researched the arduino!
NOW that one cost 36€ combined with the other 50€
I got 2 other things on the Black Friday deal 1. beeing not having to pay delivery fee and secondly another DIY LED project for a christmas tree, which I found very fun and another project to practice on.
another Esp32
to get to 90€, because of course I do need more ESP32`s and I got the final part of the gifts
A Second Hand Box worth 1kg of Electronics (Free, because I hit 90€ in a delivery)
I was first a bit unsure but as I read into it I was more and more hyped, these electronics have been sent back without ever beeing opened, which still has the chance of beeing dropped but I get it for free basically and people with knowledge about microcontrollers know that 1kg worth of parts is pretty neat!
Also I got a few more jumper wires and a Kit of resistors because you always need these 2 things! :)
This was my little houl on new things I bought, hopefully I was able to inspire some of you or atleast entertain yall. My next thread here will be a little Logbook of how i started with Arduino, as i am very new myself but learning fast!
Wishing everyone a wonderful december.

Sick, AZ-Delivery sounds interesting. Maybe I can find something useful for a PCB Project of mine ^^

Ooh God every December I accumulate more stuff for my Arduino, Raspberry Pi's and other kits. I have a few projects with which I continuously tinker but I got shelves full of stuff I never do anything with. My New Year's resolution should be to do just that, or sell it on.
Sound you got a good haul, so have fun this December!

That’s an awesome haul! The Black Friday deals sound insane — 50€ for that mystery box is a steal. Honestly, the 1kg electronics box might end up being the most fun part, there’s something exciting about not knowing what you’ll get.
The door lock project and ESP32 are solid choices too, perfect for learning and building useful stuff. And yeah, you can never have enough jumper wires and resistors 😄
Also, what project are you planning to start with first?
