arduino uno starter kit

ELEGOO UNO R3 Super Starter Kit

​100% Compatibility with Official Arduino Software, Sendsors and Codes

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.

For the reason of open source, the manufacture of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone is permitted. Arduino boards are available commercially in preassembled form, or as do-it-yourself (DIY) kits.

Elegoo is one of the manufacturer on the market, whose clone products are 100% compatible with the official Arduino microcontroller boards, they can use the official Arduino software, sensors and codes.

arduino uno r3

​Learn The Science of Electronics with Arduino

The Arduino boards can be used as the brains behind almost any electronics project. Arduino can interact with buttons, LEDs, motors, speakers, GPS units, cameras, the internet, and even your smart-phone or your TV! By connecting the Arduino board with a personal computer via a USB cable and uploading to the board, users can create digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical and digital world like robots or even honest fortune-telling machines.

For this Elegoo Super Starter Kit, we provide a 24-lesson tutorial, introducing the basic setting of the Arduino software IDE, the working principles of the sensors to enable the UNO board to control the sensors.

It’s a good choice and kit for kids, teens, adults or whoever is obsessed with electronics, programming or robotics to take their first steps on electronics journey!

This Kit is suitable for 10-year-old and up. Younger kids should be under supervision and guidance of adults.

​74HC595 and LEDs

74HC595 is a Serial to Parallel Converter which has eight outputs and three inputs that you use to feed data into it a bit at a time.

This chip makes it a little slower to drive the LEDs (you can only change the LEDs about 500,000 times a second instead of 8,000,000 a second) but it's still really fast, way faster than humans can detect, so it's worth it.

74HC595 shift register is a type of chip that holds what can be thought of as eight memory locations, each of which can either be a 1 or a 0. To set each of these values on or off, we feed in the data using the 'Data' and 'Clock' pins of the chip.

starter kit

​4 digit 7 segment display

7 segment displays consist of 7 LEDs, called segments, arranged in the shape of an “8”. Most 7-segment displays actually have 8 segments, with a dot on the right side of the digit that serves as a decimal point.

When using 4-digit 7-segment display, the common anode or common cathode pin is used to control which digit is displayed. Even though there is only one digit working, the principle of Persistence of Vision enables you to see all numbers displayed because each the scanning speed is so fast that you hardly notice the intervals.

By building the circuit, users can make a simple display showing certain numbers, or more complexly, a count-up timer or a elecrical rolling dice.

​Stepper Motor

Stepper motors are DC motors that move in discrete steps. They have multiple coils that are organized in groups called "phases". By energizing each phase in sequence, the motor will rotate, one step at a time.

With a computer controlled stepping you can achieve very precise positioning and/or speed control. For this reason, stepper motors are the motor of choice for many precision motion control applications.

the simplest way of interfacing a unipolar stepper motor to Arduino is to use a breakout

for ULN2003A transistor array chip, applying voltage to each of the coils in a specific sequence.

    NIce little kit
    This is a nice little kit with tons of pieces to get projects moving and try different things programming different devices. It would be nice to have a larger case to keep everything separated and organized. I will buy a bigger Plano box or design a Gridfinity storage to keep things better organized - otherwise you can see it quickly becomes a little messy...The included items are of reasonable quality and work well for the learning process. If you like a project you can always upgrade to better components.

    • Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018
      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!!!

      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.

      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.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Very good English instructions
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 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!

      Muy buen kit, incluye lo mas esencial para proyectos y de muy buena calidad, elegoo se ha convertido en una de mis marcas favoritas y mas confiables para productos de electronica. Incluye algunos sensores muy populares (ultrasonico, temperatura y humedad, etc), la placa UNO con su respectivo cable de datos USB excelente, el LCD display 16x2 con sus pines ya soldados para no batallar (Recomiendo usar el potenciometro de 10k en el tercer pin de contraste para ajustar o calibrar el display).
      El unico inconveniente, no es tanto inconveniente, si no que me gustaria cambiar, es el relevador que incluye por un modulo de relevador para conectarlo a la placa UNO, ya que es un poco batalloso insertarlo al protoboard y andar buscando los pines y no equivocarte del mismo protoboard, fuera de eso todo excelente (jumpers de conexion, mini motor, protoboard, etc).
