What you get in the kit is simply outstanding for the price. The software and the instruction sheets are also really good and easy to use/follow.The only slight negative for me was I didn’t feel that the explanation of how the C++ programming works and proper explanation of each separate part of the coding. Maybe it’s just me being an absolute novice!Having said that when you actually get the kit to do what you have wired up and programmed it is very satisfying!Great Kit, Great Price, Great All Round.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for begineers

I really like this product, I've had it for a while now and I would recommend it for anyone getting started with electronics.If you want to get started with electronics it can be a little harder if you don't have the right tools. Even if you have a soldering iron and a bunch of old electronics that you can play around with, it might not be the best idea to start trying to solder things straight away. Even if you learn a bit of basic knowledge about electronics and know what you need to get started it can be annoying to order components off ebay and have to wait two months just to get started.That's where this kit comes in, not only did it arrive fast because it's Bolo but it has all the components needed to get you started. It comes with wires that can be used to connect from the arduino to a breadboard and make it simple to make connections without soldering and risking an accident. Most components also have terminal attached to them so you can attach the wires to them with ease.The main focus point of this kit is the Arduino. Arduino's software is open source and they let any company make their own versions of the arudino for educational purposes. Elegoo uses their own arduino uno here which is much cheaper than the original arduino uno but is still a great product, lowering the price for entry to the arduino world.The arduino is a great product for begineers and elegoo uses your money efficiently to give you rhe most bang for your buck. The kit comes with lots of components ranging from easy to complicated, I would recommend starting with LED's and motors and working your way up to the stepper motor.My experience with the kit has been great and the tutorials provided also help you get started easily, if you would like to learn a bit more about electronics I would also recommend watching some videos from GreatScott on youtube.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great starter kit, minor learning curve

This kit has everything a beginner needs to dive into electronics—tons of components, clear tutorials, and plenty of room for creativity. Some instructions could be clearer, but nothing a quick Google search can’t fix. Overall, a solid way to start tinkering!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for learning programming

D. · 9 January 2025

I wanted to learn programming in "C" I found this an ideal kit for this with all the accessories needed without having to shop for more items and components.Not a bad price either.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good English instructions

k. · 26 November 2024

The kit is very comprehensive for the money and well packaged and laid out. It would be a super gift for anyone with an interest in electronics or an enquiring mind. The instruction manual (162 pages) can be found on the CD or downloaded from the Elegoo site. I was expecting a basic "Chinese English" manual BUT not so. The manual is in good English and even has the odd bit of humour. I would say that it is written so a young person 10-12+ could read and understand mostly without parental help. For an oldie like me I was really surprised however easy it was to follow. I have only tried a couple of the projects but had no issues so far. So don't be put off by the low price or concerned about difficultly. Who knows it could just spark the next Steve Jobs or Musk!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great package to provide a huge amount of entetainment and learning

Rarely do i review a product but i think this deserves one. For under £30.00 this is a great bit of kit. I bought it for my 11 year old daughter who is fairly bright, to give her an insight into coding, computers and electronics. As someone with basic knowledge myself, an ideal thing for both of us to work through together. The principle of the arduino board and kit is that you can write a basic program that "does physical stuff".Rather than doing code on a computer, that runs on a computer and outputs on a computer, writing code on the arduino can turn led lights on and off, motors, sensors etc. Its basic but can be built up to being complicated. With attention spans being short with children, within 20 minutes of opening the box, you should have your first program of blinking an led light on and off by your own code.There is an awful lot of kit in the box and we are trying to work our way through properly and are still on coding led lights, but there are led displays, motors, heat and distance sensors etc etc. and a 164 page manual and all the code done for you if required. However you won't learn that well copy and pasting code, so to get the most out of it, treat it a a learning project and either buy a book or like us, follow a youtube course, there are a lot out there but we are doing some bloke called paul mcwhorter who starts from scratch and builds up through each lesson with about 28 videos. I'm not saying his are the best, but it suits me and my daughter,and its free.As Paul says in his first video, if you can turn an led light on and off, you can do a sensor, a motor, so with those three you could build a basic robot or a weather station or whatever your ideas take. Once we have finished working through Pauls videos, we will then work through the pdf file of all the ones Elegoo provide that use all the products included in the box.So to conclude, the elegoo box has in it almost everything you could want to get you going, it should provide hundreds of hours of fun and frustration and learning to get your projects working for under £30.00. Huge amounts of support are available free online and its relatively simple to get started with some basic computer knowledge and basic practical skills. highly recommended.

This is well documented, with working code tutorials and good quality components - the PCBs are solid, and good connections etc.I’m teaching my 8yr old with it, and we’re having fun. It’s amazing what you get at this price compared to my childhood.

muy buen producto de los mejores calidad-precio del mercado.

Worth buying

Pros. Good selection of itemsCons. None

Love it

R.B. · 25 May 2025

Got this for my daughter who is a mechanical engineering student in college. Great practice for them. Would highly recommend for Jr High or High School student thinking about engineering as a major!

Overall an amazing product for the price.

All the parts worked great.The instructions were easy to understand. The hardware explanations are great and detailed, but the software explanations were surface-level and a bit lacking (nothing some free online courses cannot compensate for). There are a lot of good parts for a very good price. The box is a little small to fit all components but it does fit. A protective surface for the main hub would have been nice as well as the bottom can scratch surfaces. Overall, at a great price and with some basic coding knowledge, it can provide hours of learning and fun, would definitely recommend.

Good ..
