Review on 🔌 ELEGOO UNO R3 Project Comprehensive Starter Kit with Tutorial – Compatible with Arduino IDE (Inclusive of 63 Items) by Kim Marshall

Having performed almost all of the 30+ experiments from the downloaded PDF file, I can objectively evaluate the kit and its contents. The instructions for experiments are not bad, I connected them without any problems. What they don't tell you is that sometimes the same project is used in the next few tutorials, as I found out after taking everything apart in one tutorial. There is some effort to describe the sensor code and hardware, but I believe in it. should be greatly expanded. It felt like "that's how you connect the lesson and that's what it does," but I wanted to dig much deeper with some sensors. You have a good explanation of the shift register, although I found it interesting. I also bought a Sunfounder sensor kit and love that they have all the parts on the board - for example, unlike this Elegoo kit, there is no need to place resistors or LEDs on a breadboard for a lesson. Even the button is on a separate board, with the Elegoo kit they offer two separate tiny buttons that I couldn't keep on the breadboard. There is an infrared tutorial where you use the IR remote to trigger the IR receiver, which I couldn't get to work. I checked the remote control battery and it was fine. I then discovered that the Sunfounder bundle had a similar remote and it worked, so the Elegoo remote was undoubtedly defective. I couldn't get the real time clock (RTC) to work, I don't know if it was code or RTC. Module. I put the oscilloscope on one of the pins of the module and had a 35kHz signal so the module seemed to come to life. Conclusions: Pros - the lessons are very well written and easy to understand. Someone put a lot of work into them and it shows. The kit includes a set of modules and several components (a pair of microcircuits, a set of LEDs, resistors, etc.). Once you complete the tutorials, the parts will make a nice addition to your parts box. Oh, they include a prototype shield - a great bonus. Cons - I would like a more detailed description of the code and equipment. For a beginner concentrating on what the sensor can do with the Arduino, that's fine, but I'd like to learn more about the code. Defective part(s) - The supplied remote control was defective. I'm just considering taking it apart. The real time clock module *may* be defective, this needs further investigation. Lessons based on the previous lesson should be flagged. DO NOT dismantle the wiring as it will continue to be used. I dismantled one of them, which took quite a long time to wire, and I had no intention of redoing it. Final thoughts - if you can get this on a Revain deal, that's a lot of detail for the money. I do not regret that I bought it despite the bad remote control. The sensors and the Arduino Uno board are a nice addition to my spares basket.
