What about novice users who don't have any electronics knowledge? Fear not amigo. Just follow our tutorial enclosed and step by step you will come to realize that learning electronics is more fun than you ever expected with this amazing sensor kit. It’s a good choice and perfect gift for your friends, family or kids who are obsessed with electronics or robotics to take their first steps on electronics journey! The most complete starter Kit with high quality components and sensors Quantity and quality are both important here in ELEGOO MEGA 2560 starter kit. The most essential parts in this kit are MEGA 2560 controller board and expansion board, which is a ideal clone with excellent product finish for programming projects. Besides, we offer other over 60 kinds of components and sensors from small parts like LED diodes, resistors and potentiometer to big parts like LCD1602, RFID module and 830 tie-points breadboard, which meet your demands for your different projects either it is simple or complex. Sturdy quality is definitely the most important thing to ELEGOO even with so many components provided we never compromised on the quality. Instead we keep improving our product quality in our own factory and we produce the products by ourselves under high standards and strict quality control. Pins and wires on some of the parts like LCD1602 and motors have been pre-soldered which is very convenient and saves your time. LCD1602 Display module LCD1602 module is a display that has an LED backlight and can display two rows with up to 16 characters on each row. You can see the rectangles for each character on the display and the pixels that make up each character. The display is just white on blue and is intended for showing text. Lining up the display with the top of the breadboard helps to identify its pins without too much counting, especially if the breadboard has its rows numbered with row 1 as the top row of the board. Do not forget, the long yellow lead that links the slider of the pot to pin 3 of the display. The 'pot' is used to control the contrast of the display. DC Motors and L293D Transistor In this project you will learn how to control a small DC motor using a Mega board and a L293D transistor, which is a very useful chip. It can actually control two motors independently. We are just using half the chip in this lesson, most of the pins on the right hand side of the chip are for controlling a second motor. L293D is quadruple high-current half-H drivers and designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is also designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications. 74HC595 Shift Register and LEDs 74HC595 is a Serial to Parallel Converter which has eight outputs (perfect) and three inputs that you use to feed data into it a bit at a time. This chip makes it a little slower to drive the LEDs (you can only change the LEDs about 500,000 times a second instead of 8,000,000 a second) but it's still really fast, way faster than humans can detect, so it's worth it! 74HC595 shift register is a type of chip that holds what can be thought of as eight memory locations, each of which can either be a 1 or a 0. To set each of these values on or off, we feed in the data using the 'Data' and 'Clock' pins of the chip. Review: Good set - Nice good set Review: Absolutely Amazing for Beginners, You have to buy one ! - The price to component ratio is INSANE.. I am a experienced Electronics kid just 12 I bought this with my dad's account, I was looking for a kit which had everything I wish I could need for a big project and I found this, I never really looked into what it has to offer and after it arrived I WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY 144 PLUS COMPONENTS BRO YOU CAN HAVE THIS KIT FOR LIKE YEARS AND NEVER NEED ANOTHER KIT if you are a beginner. I got to fill so many gaps in my component collection at once using this. Highly recommended for beginners looking to save a buck and learn a lot. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ The only downside is that the box is really too small for the amount of components looking for a new one 😁 ## Features - The MEGA2560 complete starter kit with more than 200pcs components, premium quality for Arduino kit - Free PDF tutorial in the CD (more than 35 lessons). - LCD1602 module and GY-521 sensor module with pin header ( no need to solder by yourself) - Nice package with clear listing and surprise including a nice small box to keep the widget such as LED , IC , buttons , diodes ,etc. - We have always cared about the customer experience and improve the product function details. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07T5BTT3P | | Best Sellers Rank | #450 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #1 in Single-Board Computer Kits | | Brand | ELEGOO | | CPU Model | Unknown | | CPU manufacturer | Atmel | | CPU model | Unknown | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computers | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 44 Reviews | | Manufacturer | ELEGOO | | Memory Storage Capacity | 8 GB | | Memory storage capacity | 8 GB | | Mfr Part Number | AE-EL-KIT-008 | | Model Name | MEGA2560 | | Model name | MEGA2560 | | Processor Brand | Atmel | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR4 | | Total Usb Ports | 1 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Wireless Compability | Infrared | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ELEGOO - **CPU model:** Unknown - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Memory storage capacity:** 8 GB - **Model name:** MEGA2560 ## Images ![EL-KIT-008 Mega 2560 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit w/Tutorial for Arduino UNO Nano | with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pXiojHQ1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good set *by H***N on 2 May 2026* Nice good set ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing for Beginners, You have to buy one ! *by A***K on 2 December 2024* The price to component ratio is INSANE..
