Just the job, plenty of components to construct the necessary circuits. A bit fiddly, but bread boards are!Included power supply enables two different voltages from a USB supply and can be used with programmable microcomputers such as Rasberry pi to practice and learn coding. Great value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible value for money considering the quality

L. · 4 November 2020

I started my interest in electronics in a different age, more than 40 years ago. In those days, breadboards were very expensive and out of the reach of most hobbyists. Many a time I recycled components and the stripboard, as the cost was prohibitive. A trip to the electronics shop was expensive, and much pocket money was diligently saved for the latest chip or piece of kit.This kit which I purchased to support my Elegoo Arduino, like the processor board itself, is top notch. Extremely well packaged, I was impressed with how much was crammed into the box. The fact that high-quality polythene bags were used for the components speaks volumes, although in my day we would be looking at tin-foil or anti-static bags for the more sensitive components. I get the impression once again that Elegoo care about their customers and the quality of their offering.My only criticism I can make is trivial. The breadboard is in 3 sections, with a large self-adhesive pad for attaching to a permanent surface. I'd have preferred if the pad was packed separately, that way I could expand the board horizontally without fuss if needed.As to how long the components will last etc., with care and attention they should last well. The legs of any component will eventually give up the ghost with too much bending, and wiring errors will easily kill off polarity sensitive components such as diodes and capacitors etc. All of that is part of the rough and tumble of circuit development and testing. I wouldn't expect the kit to last forever, but it certainly won't break once you take it out the packaging.I know if as a kid my dad had brought this home I would be ecstatic. If you are looking for a components kit to introduce someone as to how to expand their Arduino or Raspberry Pi, I can't recommend this enough. You will need to purchase a device separately to get any use from it though.

4.0 out of 5 stars No instruction, no datasheets

C.D. · 9 February 2024

This has the things you need but no instructions and no datasheets. The box refers to a url for the datasheets but they do not exist on the website. No idea what the specifications for the LEDs are. The power board is strange - it has 2 jumpers and you can change between 3.3v and 5v so a bit limiting because my power supply will go up to 9v. The operation of the push button switch took some working out because it does not describe how the breadboard tracks run. I think a brand new starter would struggle.EDIT I found the data sheets and instructions - they were not where it said but I found them through Google and they are quite comprehensive and I've been able to work everything out so I've increased the rating - not to a 5 though because the link was wrong and it took quite a while to find the info.

Well I am a techie and have played about with the Arduino for a while. I was not at my normal location, so needed a breadboard and bits to build up a circuit for use with a Genuino UNO and ordered this kit has it contained the main stuff I needed at a good price. It arrived promptly and I had no trouble building my circuit with some other components I already had. Although I use the Arduino to power the circuit normally, the breadboard power supply module is very useful for testing.Alasdair McCormick mentions "They even have a great tutorial website to teach you if like me you don’t know what your doing". Well I am not sure about that, as I could not find that type of tutorial on the Elegoo website (perhaps they did have that sort of thing posted originally, but took it down for some reason?).They do have a zip file available for the kit (along with others) in the directory "tutorial" (added with a slash after website name). You can either bring up that URL and use "Save Link As.." to save the zip, or from the website Download page (click Download menu item to get there); scroll down and then click the picture for the "Elegoo Upgraded Electronics Fun Kit - E3" and you should get a pop-up dialog box with the "Save File" option. The zip file contains 17 PDF files which give you datasheets covering each type of item in the kit.The information may be too complex for some people, but at least you can check the spec and requirements of each component (e.g. from the "White LED Datasheets.pdf, you can confirm that Super-Green LEDs are Part Number: RL5-G8020 and are maximum 4.0V forward voltage and maximum 20 mA Continuous Forward Current).I was slightly amused with the component pictures and descriptions inside the lid of the box. They include a picture of what is described as a "104pF Ceramic Capacitor 10PCS). Well, someone slipped up there! The 104 marking on a ceramic capacitor should be interpreted as follows:Two significant digits followed by the number of zeros.example: 104 = 100 000 pF = 100 nF = 0.1 uF (where my u should be the micro symbol).so NOT 104pF, lol. The datasheets are good, just someone messed up when doing the inside lid information! I will not knock of 1 star for that though!In conclusion, this is a great value kit and well worth the money. The technical information is available for it at the time of writing anyway. I may well buy another one as I can never have enough breadboards, LEDs, links etc. I will also consider other kits made by them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got me through helping my daughter with STEAM project last minute at the weekend. Fantastic value.

A. · 23 July 2024

This was bought last minute whilst I was traveling for work so I could help my daughter with her end of year STEAM project at a weekend.Along with an ESP32 I ordered separately we were able to quickly build her project up whilst I helped her over Skype. Great quality components (metal film resistors, no carbon), good range of LED's, little power board included and most importantly quite a solid breadboard.The jumper wires are a bit cheap but to have so many was great and made up for the 2-3 I broke whilst rushing with a layout.You'd be pushed to buy half the components separately in such small volume for the same price so this kit was greatly appreciated. And it arrived in 18 hours.

Good For Kids Starting Electronics...

T.A. · 6 September 2023

My kid absolutely loves the ELEGOO Electronic Fun Kit Bundle with Breadboard Cable Resistor, Capacitor, LED, Potentiometer! As a parent, it's been a joy to see my child's enthusiasm for electronics and STEM activities grow, thanks to this fantastic kit.One of the standout features of this kit is its educational value. It provides a hands-on experience that not only introduces kids to the world of electronics but also nurtures their problem-solving skills and creativity. The variety of components, including resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and potentiometers, has allowed my child to explore a wide range of electronic concepts and projects.The breadboard included in the bundle has been a game-changer. It provides a safe and organized platform for my child to build and test circuits without the need for soldering. This has been particularly reassuring for me as a parent, knowing that my child can explore electronics in a controlled and safe environment.The bundle comes with clear and easy-to-follow instructions, making it accessible for kids who are new to electronics. It has sparked a sense of curiosity and a desire to learn in my child, which is invaluable.Seeing my child's face light up with excitement as they complete projects and create their own electronic inventions with this kit has been incredibly rewarding. It's not only a fun and educational experience but also a bonding opportunity for us as we explore and learn together.The ELEGOO Electronic Fun Kit Bundle has been a fantastic investment for my child's development and enjoyment. It has ignited a passion for electronics and STEM in my kid, and I couldn't be happier with the educational value it provides. I highly recommend this kit to parents who want to encourage their children's interest in science, technology, engineering, and math in a fun and engaging way.

Good deal

Decent for the price. I like that the resistors are labeled. A lot of similar kits don’t have the labeling on the resistor packaging. Also like the size of the breadboard, not small not extra long kinda middle sized.

Lots of extra goodies.

Great starter kit.
