🔌 ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit with Tutorial and UNO R3 - Compatible with Arduino IDE Review

When I ordered this I thought it would be an inexpensive little (you get what you pay for) kit. I figured this would at least be enough to get into the world of Arduino. When it arrived, I quickly realized that it wasn't a small spontaneous set. This project kit includes everything you need to get started with Arduino. Everything in the kit was of good/excellent quality. There are many manuals online for all the sensors, motors, LCDs etc in this set. I've learned so much in the few days I've…

It's amazing! I remember disassembling RC cars as a kid to see the wires and motors, but never getting everything to work. This set is an answer to that curiosity (answering questions like "how does it work?") - but now kids can build the device from circuits instead of taking apart their RC cars and other gadgets. My son worked on it until dawn and the next morning he started working again. We hardly saw him until he finished the kit and asked for a kit to start the next stage. It's amazing…

There are SO many ways to buy an Arduino/clone, accessories and manuals. I quickly realized that there is nothing that makes this "set" better than any other. The textbook is a disappointment. It doesn't teach, it's copy and paste. The development board I received is rubbish. The holes don't match the actual connectors in the breadboard. I have to fish to get every wire in the hole. Any multi-wire component is a nightmare to plug into the board. The wires are bad too. The ends are serrated and…

Really great set with everything you need to get started. The kit includes multiple types of sensors to experiment with, as well as extensive code examples and tutorials to help you master various projects. I bought this kit as an Arduino newbie because I needed an Uno R3 board and found the extras (breadboard, jumpers, sensors, etc.) a good starting point for a few extra bucks. The board is good quality and I have had no 0 problems. I didn't think much about tutorials and decided I would rely…

Bought this kit on Cyber Monday for about $7 off the current list price. Even though this Chinese Arduino clone vendor charges such a reduced fee for this package, the buyer gets a heck of a lot of cool components here. I would definitely pay full price for this set now that I've looked at it for a few hours. I am very happy to go through all the tutorials published by Elegoo for this set. They are concise and cover well the electrical principles behind the included components. I'm only…

I got through the first 8 lessons or so. The sample code and component diagrams are great. It's easy to match the layout on the mockup board with what is required in the lesson. However, the descriptions and the written instructions could be a little better. A few tips: 1) Sometimes they discuss theories or use jargon that a beginner might not understand. Do we all know what DuPont wire is? Why do we dive into pulse width modulation theory? Accidentally mentioned APK. Hm? Do you mean…

Updated May 2020: To finally get to the later tutorials I am reducing my rating to 1 star. The documentation for later lessons is imperfect, terms, symbols, and concepts are introduced without explanation, and the sketch code for these lessons is poorly commented. Both the DC motor and the relays included in the kit were not working reliably and it looks like some of the breadboard rails are defective. Elegoo never contacted me. Updated June 2019 (almost 3 months after purchase): I'm reducing…
