I originally bought this because I wanted to learn more about circuits for my engineering major. We also used ELEGOO Arduino kits in our class but they were a different version (Uno). After buying this kit and experimenting with it, I have found little to no complaints about this product. Everything appears to be high quality, and the instructions were a great help in starting out. They also included the example code as a file so it can easily be opened and uploaded to your Arduino.Overall, I would recommend this kit to anyone who wants to safely learn more about circuits and learn how to prototype and make your ideas a reality.

The amount of sensors and components with this is insanely awesome. Comes with a 250 page manual on how to operate every bit of equipment starting at beginner level and moving forward.

As a novice to the Arduino programming/hardware world it can be a little overwhelming to get started. This Elegoo kit removes that barrier entirely. I've found it to be perfectly compatible with the Arduino platform at a fraction of the cost, packaged in well organized segments, and have not come across a single "dud" sensor or component yet. Having everything there makes it SO much easier and more enjoyable to learn, and then everything just packs away when you're done instead of cluttering up your work space. I seriously don't understand why this isn't in every high school in the nation, there's no telling who it might inspire. For my money, if you're thinking about entering this field of study as a novice hobbyist OR a serious prototyper this will do you just fine.

everything

Love this. so many things you can do

This is a great set, has very detailed instructions, and is very good quality. However, it is fairly complicated and I wouldn't recommend it for beginners.

My son was excited by the quality and value and is learning so he can teach his son step by step. I am so proud that my son spends so much time nurturing his son's interests!

Full fills my needs for learning

I had never tried one before, only am official Arduino. This one works great though, no problems so far

Great parts list! Lots of sensors, leds, pots, etc to play w/ . I wish these kits existed when Arduinos first came out.

This was my entry into electronics and have so far been through about half of the projects. For those of you without a disk drive, just download the pdf from there website. I have really enjoyed the format of the instructions and it seems, for the most part very easy to understand. Some might have some issues without a background in coding but nothing not manageable. I also suggest, mess around with the code itself after you've done the project before you move on. They don't mention this but it makes learning this more fun.One thing I wish was included was descriptions in every item and board included. It doesn't explain what a lot of things are, only items youre working on.The journey into electronics has been great for a beginner like myself and have really enjoyed the kit for the cost.

Good for an electronic novice who wants to learn about Arduino and other micro processors ...

It does what I expected it to and I am pleased

I'm a software engineer looking to build some internet enabled devices and this is a great teaching tool! I am already on lesson 8. Electronics is my thing so this is pretty straight forward and I'm just getting my feet wet and ready and looking forward to the more advanced sections. I bought the two versions of the sensor kit. Prob overkill. One has the mercury switch and the other one doesn't but having duplicates just means I can have various projects sitting around and have enough parts ... If that makes any sense.

Used this entire kit to help me achieve a degree in Mechatronics Technology.

Great set, especially for the money. However instructions online are a little confusing. Needs a better manual and it could be a perfect set to learn. Quality is excellent.

Going to college to learn this and this kit has already taught me more than I've learned in school. It's way cheaper too. Love this thing!

I used this for a school project as a senior in college. It came with the basic parts I needed and came with parts I will use for future projects. I even stumbled upon a YouTube channel by Paul McWhorter where he uses the Uno (not Mega) kit to complete the projects step by step and it is super easy to follow. I've been scrolling through the channel all day. It has helped me through this project and given me ideas for other projects! Although it is not Arduino brand it works just like it! 10/10 would recommend based on the youtube channel alone

I used this to get my way intp the whole Arduino world. I already had fair coding skills, so this kit was a great sandbox to get started with. I didn't RTFM, just plugged stuff in and got going. Nice selection of goodies to play with.

I'm writing this in Jan 2023. I got this as a way to automate some things on my model trains. The core kit has a lot of good hardware. The documentation is not the best. First, the directions say to get the programmer's software directly from Arduino. What they don't say is that there are two versions to choose from. The Arduino site suggests the use of the most recent, but that doesn't work. I needed to get the prior version so you have access to the serial connection configurations that are in the directions.The base directions for all the interfaces and tools are ok but there is no real explanation of the programming language. The Arduino site isn't any better for programming syntax structures. For that, you're going to have to hunt around on YouTube and resign yourself to some trial and error.Given the alternatives for home and hobby automation, this kit is a great value. You're just going to have to accept a little more than normal trial and error as part of your learning curve.
