ELEGOO UNO Undertaking Tremendous Starter Package with Tutorial and UNO R3 Board Suitable with Arduino IDE

Neatly packaged. All working parts. Exactly as Advertised.
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!!!

Good deal on a bunch of fun parts and good Arduino clone board
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.

la verdad este producto cumple de maravilla sus funciones básicas y medio avanzadas, con materiales excelentes e completos para cualquier proyecto con arduino y maravilloso para cualquier principiantes de en el mundo de los micro controladores.

working well
