ELEGOO UNO R3 Project Complete Starter Kit

Its a lil bit of headache and a Lil bit of a learning curve. Especially because its its a clone of an arduino board. So you have to learn how to match arduino program with the clone for example "elegoo uno board = arduino uno board".Lil things you have to test out, but it's a cool Lil board to learn computer programming and making cool stuff. But if your a beginner. I advise to get the book by Simon monk " programming arduino, getting started with sketches ", this book teaches you the basics and language of computer c++ programming. And also gives you Lil task to accomplish and when you feel comfortable you can make Lil changes. And your world will open up. And each mistake is an accomplishment waiting to be learned. And I also had a problem with downloading the sketches from the files for the reason that i have windows11, so my problem was that when i went to downloadthe sketch. The media player would open. But the sketches are not media its an inf file. So when you click on the file the mediaplayer will open and on the side of the screen there will be a section where it would say properties. You have to change the mediaplayer into a drive that could read files. Because the mediaplayer is trying to read the file as if was a video......"word of advice! Make a copy of the files don't rely on just one. Just in case you mess up on 1 file you can go back and see what you have to correct ".

I was looking for an Arduino clone starter kit and considered many options. I’m an Electrical Engineer with 15+ years experience designing, manufacturing and testing space flight electrical hardware for satellites. I have a very high standard for quality and was hesitant to purchase this kit due to its low price and my fears that it would be total junk. However, I figured the price was so darn low that even if it turned out to be junk, it wouldn’t be a huge waste. Wow, am I glad I bought this! First, the set arrives in a very useful organizer. I found this to be a really nice feature and helps save time when searching for parts to build each different project. Upon initial inspection, the quality of each component appeared very acceptable. Definitely low-quality parts — as you’d rightfully expect at this price point — but certainly no where near “junk” quality. By low-quality, I’m referring to mostly the solder quality, but also the individual piece-parts used in the assemblies are your standard Chinese low-grade parts. Some soldered parts were installed misaligned and some PCB assemblies still had visible contamination on them from inadequate washing. Again, this is all to be expected at this price point and so far, I was very pleased. The real test is if everything worked... I completed all the tutorials and found the instructions very easy to follow. A CD is included in the kit, which supposedly contains all the required software, tutorials and datasheets. My laptop doesn’t have a CD ROM drive so I downloaded everything on the Elegoo website. That’s probably the best option anyway — that way, you know you are using the latest versions of everything. The datasheets were a nice-to-have, although some of them were not as detailed as they should be. Still useful nonetheless. The tutorial manual was clearly written — it’s definitely not poorly translated Chinese-to-English like I expected. It’s entirely written in clear English. In some places, I wish it did a better job explaining the code and syntax, but honestly, that’s something Google can handle. Every tutorial was completed easily and I discovered only one technical mistake: the tutorial on DC motor control omitted a ground jumper between the Arduino board and the breadboard/motor controller board. Consequently, the control signal logic levels were not correctly referenced to the same ground potential on both boards. The motor did not respond correctly at first but some quick troubleshooting lead me to add the ground connection and everything worked flawlessly after that. I’ve tested every component in the kit now and everything works as intended. I’m a little bit surprised at this but very, VERY happy. This kit has been a ton of fun to play with. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to get started with Arduinos. It has so many different cool components that this will keep you entertained and get your creative juices flowing. I highly recommend it!

Purchased for my husband, Chris, so he'll do the review: Hi, Chris here ;) I love this kit. More importantly, students love this kit. So many quality components in a well organized, yet compact case (with a small case inside for smaller parts). Many thanks for selecting metal film resistors in taped packaging, by the way(!). The Arduino UNO R3 unit features printed headers and board, with high quality, fully compatible build. A solid value, made even better with the free LED offer (and occasional discount codes - check Amazon's coupon offers, and Elegoo's social media). Elegoo support is friendly and eager to ensure you have a satisfied experience. Some minor shortcomings. Some of the test jumpers ends were bent, and there could definitely be a few more longer jumper wires (grab their Elegoo EL-CP-004 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire kit and split off as needed). The header printing did an admirable job versus sweaty hands, but eventually most printing vanished (board is printed though). The book and projects are surprisingly good. Lesson 27, 74HC595 and 7 Segment Display, is missing a ground jumper on pin 8 of the 74HC595 of the Wiring Diagram (it's in the schematic and example). Probably fine, but thought I would point it out since a student and I noticed it when checking our wiring back to the schematic. Oh, I would also grab the Elegoo EL-CB-003 MEGA 2560, or get that kit (Elegoo EL-KIT-008 Mega 2560 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit). You may eventually want more IO ports and memory, that the MEGA 2560 provides.

Great training kit with all necessary components ready.

Comes Just like the picture, fast delivery as well

Highly recommended for beginners that want to learn arduino!

carefully package and everything came as mentioned. But Resistors are very hard to identify without labels. Elegoo should make the resistor's identifier color clearer.

ممتازة جدا وجودتها ممتازة لكن سلك ال usb b الي يجي معها جدا سيئ لكن باقي القطع كلها ممتازة
