Review on πŸ” Discover the ELEGOO Mega R3 Project Ultimate Starter Kit – Complete with TUTORIAL for Arduino IDE by Katrina Kruger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was looking for.

Possibly the coolest thing I've ever bought. I already had a Raspberry Pi and was looking for help getting started with the operating and programming environment. It was the right choice. It includes everything you need to get started with Arduino programming and basic circuits. The Programmer's Guide isn't the best translated document I've seen, but I was able to go through all the projects after learning the basics, and this is how it's organized - to introduce you to the simplest controls. functions and then become increasingly complex as you work with the sensors. RFID, audio, keypad, motion sensor, motors, LEDs, temperature, humidity, light, remote control, distance and even seven segment displays, it's all there with enough resistors, capacitors, transistors and diodes to make sure you have it all ... what you need to complete any project. Everything is in a neat plastic case so it's easy to store together, although my wife did complain a little about the extra clutter on the dining table. The kit I received didn't have an RGB LED, but I emailed Elegoo and they sent a replacement straight away, but in the best possible style - they sent me five RGB LEDs, another USB cable, and a sleek plastic one -Organizer. Their support is second to none and responsive.

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
