ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit

This kit is great for learning and soldering. The microcontroller gets you practice at programming and the components and pieces are of excellent quality. Kit comes complete with perfect instructions. The price is the best part. So many kits are much more expensive without offering the quality and pieces this kit has. I wish there was another kit with other builds by this brand. Highly recommend this as learning STEM kit.

I recently purchased the ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit, and I’m extremely happy with it. The kit is very well-organized, and it comes with a wide variety of components, sensors, and modules that are perfect for learning Arduino and experimenting with different projects.The instructions and tutorial resources provided by ELEGOO are clear and beginner-friendly, which made it easy to get started even though I’m new to Arduino. The UNO board itself feels solid and works perfectly.

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.

Is a great product in terms of value for money,Variety of componets My only and main complaint was that to dowlowd totorials or look at them. To try and code was a headache and could never get it to work it just kept sending me in a loop over and over wish they made the downloder more user freindly or cleary instuctions.

I will keep the below review for analysis purposes, however it's not needed. I received an item that was originally meant for return. Thus, explaining the missing little components and broken board. Due to this amazon and Elegoo decided to make it right, and even give me the chance of reviewing this and the Most Complete Arduino Kit.I initially decided to get the kit to develop a personal project of mine, and it was easier and cheaper to purchase the ready made kit by Elegoo.My first impression of the Kit was how neat everything was packaged. As a developer, I am known for being "disorderly organized." Seeing the kit when I first opened it was a breath of fresh air. Simply marvelous!Though these are "clones," THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN "ACTUAL" ARDUINO BOARD AND THE ELEGOO BRAND. The boards are open source, and openly available for companies to make them for distribution. YOU CAN BUY THIS AND REST ASSURED!!After I dug into the kit, I realized something of note. Not just the look of the individual items, but the feel of them as well; these boards and circuitry are made of top notch materials!!!The LCD Screen is clear enough for any display you may need. The motors are reasonably functional. Speed and power not truly needed, simple projects are a breeze. I especially appreciated the sevro motor's responsiveness to multiple layers of code. In addition to the motors, LCD and RFID components, every other piece worked and worked well.For the purposes of the written review, I built several projects and I attempted to use the CD as a newbie would.If I was to put any negative remarks on the kit, it would be the CD with the needed software. Though this is initially a great idea, the software and even how it's implemented changes so frequently. I recommend the PDF being printed in a small reference-like booklet.This is no fault of Elegoo; that is just how technology works now-a-days. Moreover, I recommend using the given links and PDF on the CD itself. Which is extraordinarily useful! The website is full of updated information and is a great go to!My final review of this product is a solid 5 Stars! This kit is well researched, well made and overall amazing for the price!! I would recommend for others to buy and I would even buy it again.My true rating : 5.0.Final Thoughts: this is a great starter kit, but I have to say get the Most Complete Kit. It currently has 63 parts and is worth every penny!!A SPECIAL THANK-YOU:Thank you Elegoo and Amazon for giving me an opportunity for myself. I would've walked away unsatisfied, if it wasn't for the great customer support. Not only were you able to fix the situation, but you will have a customer for life!!!!(Outdated)Below is my previous review.My arduino doesn't connect, and no leds on the board work. I tried different cords and still no power.therefore this 'kit' which also had missing parts. I am beyond passed off now!!!I gave a 5 star review because I know what it's like to fight for stars to assist the company in its growth.But truthfully, there were parts missing too many little ones to name. Many leds and a small controller. This is no big thing to me. As a whole, I have what I need.Presentation of the item itself was amazing!! The case had been packed neatly and well (aside from small items absent). There is a label on the inside cover and the parts are labeled there well. The book you need is in the CD you are given, but honestly the website is much better.This would make a great gift, given all parts are within the item. Packaging was emaculate and gives a great impression. Thus making the sting a little more unbearable.Would I buy it again? Yes, I would be willing to take the chance. It's a good package product for basic projects. The information (obtained through the given CD or website) is solid!UPDATED. 5.0!!!If you mare it this far, here is my real overall rating, 4.3. I CHANGE THE 4.3 TO A NEGATIVE 13!!!

Product came right on time. Everything is functional.
