Elegoo UNO Project Super Starter Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino

This Arduino starter kit is an excellent choice for beginners. I’m not very familiar with programming myself, but this was a gift for my son, and he is absolutely thrilled with it. The kit includes a wide range of components, which makes it perfect for learning and experimenting. It offers many possibilities for different projects, and everything has been working properly so far. The setup seem beginner-friendly, and my son was able to get started without major difficulties. The components feel well made and organized, and the overall quality is very good. Considering everything included in the kit, the price is reasonable and fair for the value you get. Overall, a great starter set for anyone interested in learning Arduino and basic programming. I would recommend it for beginners

The quick take: This is a great kit, although the documentation is more an overview than project-based, if that is a concern for you. The long read: I started out with Arduino by getting the official Arduino Starter Kit. Being a neophyte, I was a little overwhelmed by the various options available for entering the Arduino world, so I went with the one that seemed to be the least risk, but the highest cost. Later, when shopping for a 2nd Uno and accessories, I purchased the Elegoo Super Starter Kit, which included an Uno and a nice variety of sensors/accessories at 1/3 the price of the official kit. Quickly, the Elegoo kit became my go-to recommendation for Uno starter kits -- it includes a good variety of quality components, including ones not in the official kit, and it costs a good deal less. It also comes in a great, solid plastic case with a cover that latches shut -- really nice construction that beats the cardboard box the official kit comes in. I kind of wish I had started with the Elegoo in the first place. My only caveat is that the PDF documentation included with the Elegoo kit is not as project-based as the official starter kit. The project book that comes with the official Arduino starter kit offers great introductory info and walks you through specific projects that are tied to specific components in the kit. However, the Elegoo PDF does include good introductory info, getting you started with your Uno and the IDE, walking you though a Blink sketch, and giving you a good overview of each component and how to connect them to your UNO. Beyond that, some of the official kit project chapters can be found online, the official Arduino site has a wealth of valuable introductory info, and the Arduino IDE comes with the code from the book built-in -- so as long as you're comfortable digging in and finding beginner projects online (of which there are many), the Elegoo kit will get you started using Arduino at a much lower cost. I don't think I would say that the official hard-copy project book is worth the extra $60+ cost of the official kit. Since then I've gone on to buy other Elegoo supplies and kits, and have been happy with everything they sell so far. I've only had limited interaction with their support, but I will say they were nice and helpful.

Good product & purchase. My 16-year-old grandson is having success with it.

Bought this kit on cyber Monday for about $7 cheaper than current list price. Although this Chinese Arduino clone vendor is charging such a reduced fee for this package, the buyer gets a heck of a lot of cool components in here. I’d definitely pay full price all over for this kit now that I’ve explored it for a couple hours. I am excited to go through every one of the tutorials Elegoo has published for this kit. They are concise and do a good job covering the electrical engineering principles behind the included components. I’m dropping a star only because they could improve the docs in regards to installing and configuring the Arduino IDE on the Mac OS platform. Instead, they detail the windows considerations and then suggest the Mac settings will be similar. That is a euphemism for “You hafta figure it out yourself.” Fortunately for my, setting up the Arduino IDE on my PowerBook just worked and I ran into zero snags. UPDATE: I want to also mention the advantage of going with an Arduino vs a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBoard (I own many of both those). For the beginner tinkerer, the Arduino reduces the dimensions of complexity getting your program into the device and doing things. Raspberry Pi, etc. are very good for higher-performance applications, but are overkill for the type of projects you would put together with these kinds of parts. What I'm trying to say is the Arduino platform is a great starting point and offers lightweight energy requirements (can be battery powered). All the parts in this kit are fully compatible with Raspberry Pi and BeagleBoard, so you can carry them over should you decide to delve into the other platforms. UPDATE 2/28/2018: I have spent perhaps a dozen hours with this kit and continue to enjoy the collection of parts and appreciate the tutorials. The Arduino UNO is a very capable microprocessor board, but it does offer a finite amount of input / output pins. As the tutorial progresses into implementations that exceed the built-in ports, they introduce this other chip that can take commands and forward signals to additional, external pins. This allows output to go to multiple devices (LEDs, stepper motors, etc.) beyond what would be available with just the built-in pins. Working your program code around this constraint offers a fun dimensional puzzle. For my non-experimental projects, I have chosen to go the route of the Arduino Mega board that offers a vast amount of additional pins than the UNO. The model sold by Elegoo on Amazon is only about $14, so that pricing is very attractive for reducing the complexity of my logic control coding.

This is an excellent starter kit for any mechatronics enthusiast. The components are well-packaged, the tutorials accessible via the QR code are very helpful, and there’s plenty of additional support on YouTube. It’s a solid purchase for anyone looking to get started in the world of mechatronics.

This was my first kit to get me started in Arduino, great board and components. Almost 1 year later, many other boards bought and this is still one of my go-to boards.

We need to use it in class. Great, everything meets the school's requirements.

I recently got the ELEGOO UNO Super Starter Kit, and it's been amazing for diving into Arduino projects. This kit has everything you need to get started, from a variety of sensors and modules to detailed instructions and tutorials. Pros: Comprehensive Kit: Includes a wide range of components (motors, sensors, LCDs, etc.), so I didn’t need to buy anything extra. Clear Tutorial: The included tutorial is beginner-friendly and walks you through each project step-by-step, which really helps for those new to electronics. High-Quality Components: The parts feel durable and well-made, especially the breadboard and wires. Great Value: For everything that’s included, the price is unbeatable. It’s perfect for experimenting without breaking the bank. Cons: A Bit Overwhelming for Absolute Beginners: There’s a lot here, which is great, but for someone with zero experience, it might take some time to get used to everything.

Loved It....😘. I purchased it for reducing screen time of my child. Since he has interest in these activities, he is now spending time on it. I can see now he is developing his creativity and sharing his ideas he is planning to do next. I highly recommend this item. Packing is also Excellent.

Good and useful

Pros. Good selection of items Cons. None

Works 👍
