You can't buy the parts to build this for the price!

I'm in favor of buying Americans, but you can't compete with Chinese forced labor - this kit is just stolen at the price offered. Keep in mind that this "kit" contains only parts - don't expect much in terms of instructions or recommendations for use. But if you know what you're doing (or google it) and get it, then you simply can't buy these parts for less than what's on offer here. Of course, "Arduino" is a clone, but of decent quality, copying the original. R3 design that doesn't use the fancy USB interface chip that requires fancy drivers like many other cheap clones. Also, the capacitors on the driver board are as cheap as possible. However, it's cheap enough to buy to at least have a supply on hand. But it's well made and it certainly works. Just don't expect a lesson plan for beginners.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Big and chunky
