Review on πŸ”Œ REXQualis Super Starter Kit with Arduino UNO R3: Tutorial, Controller Board, and Arduino IDE Compatibility by Eric Dubreuil

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great kit for learning microcontroller programming.

Great price for a starter kit with so many sensors. I've only had it 1 day, but I've already learned something from this kit. I followed the instructions exactly and I have a problem connecting Windows 10 to R3 Uno. Download and install the latest Arduino 1.8.5. My R3 Uno was loaded with nothing as the yellow "L" LED was on all the time. I'm following the instructions on the RexQualis website and setting the board to Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560 in the Tools section and I can't connect to download the Blink sketch. I thought maybe I have a bad board. It's an ATMEGA328P PU chip, but Blink boots and works when I change the board settings to Arduino/Genuino Uno. It would be great if there was some kind of spreadsheet where we could check the Atmel chip model and then properly install the board in the Arduino IDE without any guesswork.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • No paint required
