ELEGOOUNO R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit Compatible with Arduino IDE with Tutorial

Super easy to use, great choice of parts, great quality and the tutorials were great.I had ONE issue: the sound detection module was impossible to calibrate; I couldn't get the pot low enough so even in a quiet room the digital input was stuck at "on". I couldn't find a way to contact the manufacturer to let them know this was defective, perhaps they'll respond to this comment? However, I saw how the operation of the part worked and a replacement will be cheap, so I'm not really bothered.Note that the tutorials are meant to get you acquainted with the components, not be the worlds' most exciting projects. That's ok and actually appropriate: there is so much online to really get you that next step. It's more important that Elegoo give you good quality components, clear spec sheets and a simple "how to use".Some of the tutorials were just the slightest bit confusing on the operation (I wasn't precisely sure how to wire the item), and as such I had to reference the data sheet; for example, the wiring on the PIR wasn't super clear since the project showed the front of the PIR, but the pins were on the back and I connected it backwards. However, this was minimal and actually trained me to read the data sheets, so no harm.In all, very useful.One recommendation: use the Arduino online creator in a browser instead of the IDE on your computer per the instructions. The online creator worked flawlessly (once I installed the required plugin for the browser to communicate to the board for my Mac), and it's super nice to have your sketches in the cloud.I would have liked some MOSFETs in the package - that's all I had to buy on my own, otherwise I had all the parts I needed to do almost any project I want.Next up: protoboards, soldering, and making some projects permanent! (I actually think I'm going to try to buy separate ATMega chips, because that's not very difficult to do.)In all, this kit was all I needed to go from novice to confident. And I'm sure I'll have some of these parts for a long long time, as they're good quality.

Great product - really happy with this purchase. Great introduction to Arduino. The board is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE (I wasn't sure how that would work when purchasing - all works great).The kit comes with a set of tutorials and code samples. Dvd in the box, but I downloaded from their website. We are still running through the lessons - it was easier to get the IDE communicating with the board than I expected.Cord included to connect to the board requires USB A... If you have a modern Mac you may need to get get a USB A to USB C converter.Still loads to learn and experiment with. This kit has been a great way to start out and get some fundamentals figured out... Very happy this is what I chose as a starting point - a solid foundation.

A recommended bit of kit, cheaper than an Arduino but Elegoo have a good reputation as 3rd party manufacturers of Arduino boards under the open source agreement. It is fully compatible with the Arduino Uno.The included kit contains lots of parts to get you started in lots of areas from robotic motors to sensors for all sorts of things and discrete components and breadboards for building the associated electronics.In my kit the RFID module didn't work at all and the 4 digit display had a digit that didn't work. All the parts in the kit were there and individual parts are easily obtainable cheaply on Amazon.having done the 33 lessons which basically illustrate the capabilities of the Elegoo Uno board I now feel ready to take on more advanced projects like those on the official Arduino website.

The Elegoo Ultimate R3 Starter Kit is a fantastic choice for Arduino enthusiasts, offering a comprehensive range of components, clear tutorials, and excellent build quality. Ideal for beginners and experienced users, it provides endless opportunities for learning and creating exciting projects. Great value for the price!
