Review: Solid overall but pdf software installation tutorial is out dated - A good beginner package with some interesting lessons/projects to follow. I would recommend when following the tutorials for installation of the software (you need a computer), to utilize a more up to date online guide or an AI to guide you on the recent updates. As the tutorials that are published in the PDF document are outdated in that regard. A lot of the step are no longer necessary and are done automatically. As for the lessons/projects themselves, they could use a bit more detail to guide a complete novice like myself, but overall, they are pretty easy to follow and informative. For how much that this comes with, I think that it’s definitely well worth the money. It gives you quite a bit to do. Packaging was nice and the box comes well organized. I can’t compare this to anything, but it has been an enjoyable experience so far.
Review: Biggest, most complete kit on the market, and well worth the money - This is an outstanding kit! When I decided to dive head-first into the Arduino world, I did my research. I was looking for a kit that would get me the most varied list of supplies possible (and from a company with a good reputation, as it's so easy to end up with a pile of barely functioning electronic knock-off junk that was made on Mars or some far-away place with no quality-assurance). This was the kit I settled on, and I'm glad I did. For the money spent, it had the greatest spread of different kinds of devices and supporting equipment. I paired it with the Elegoo 37 Sensor Kit, to round out my supplies. (There was a bit of cross over between the two kits, but it's nice to have extras to play and experiment with.) In addition to having so many devices to experiment with, I found two further pluses for this kit: Elegoo's Arduino boards are incredible! They are exactingly labeled, flawlessly put together, and use quality equipment. Even the unused areas of the board have "dimple printing" to help reduce cross contamination of the signals. I've researched several brand names of Arduino boards, and aside from the actual original Arduino brand, no one came close to Elegoo's level of quality. After seeing this, all of my Arduino boards will be Elegoo from now on. The only issue I've encountered with it, is because the boards are so nice, I almost don't want to use them; I want to keep them in their box looking nice. I end up grabbing some other lower-quality board to fiddle around with, because I don't care if I wear out/burn those boards out. But I suppose that's just the collector in me. When shopping around for individual boards, I found that Elegoo was one of the more expensive manufacturers, but only by a couple of bucks. However, the quality level was orders of magnitude higher; which I think makes those couple extra bucks more than worth it. The second plus: The container that the kit comes in is actually very nice. It is a genuinely quality case, not just a poorly constructed plastic snap case, like some of the other brands use. When I was showing the kit to my family at a get-together, my mother kept eyeing the case, wanted to nab it to hold her scrapbooking supplies. I have ordered a few different Elegoo kits and products, and they've all come in the same quality style case (in different sizes and configurations, of course). I know it doesn't sound like it should matter all that much, and it is hard to describe, but once you hold this kit in your hand, you'll understand what I mean. Because of how many little pieces there are to this kit, I recommend taking an inventory when it arrives. Of the hundreds of parts, I did notice one, very small, and non-vital part missing. I sent the company an email asking if they could drop one of those little parts in an envelope headed my way. Two days later, a whole new replacement kit arrived with a return label for the original kit, and a letter apologizing for the mistake and making sure I was happy with the result; which I very much am. All of the different Elegoo products and kits I've bought have been remarkably designed and crafted, are as user-friendly as this subject can be, and while I haven't had to make a lot of use of their customer support line, I've heard it's second-to-none. A company that really stands by its products and values its customers. Having seen how much work and quality Elegoo puts into its products and services, they have gained a dedicated customer in me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wish I had started learning Arduino with this kit!
*by S***O on March 26, 2017*

Really fun and huge kit. This has a ton of projects to do and most of them are pretty easy to set up. The kit comes with a library disc or you can visit their site and download the libraries for all of them there. There is a PDF file with the walk through on most of the items in the kit. You get a few extra items that are not used in the projects but are nice to have when working on additional projects (Extra: Capacitors, diodes, 9V battery w/cable, prototype expansion board). I was able to successfully complete almost all of the projects in the kit except for the (4 digit number display, IR remote to control the stepper motor and MPU-6050 module). The MPU-6050 module wouldn't display any information, it is pretty easy to wire up and check the readings in the serial monitor so I don't think It was wired incorrectly-I found a crack on the MPU-6050 so I think it may just be broken. I broke the IR sensor by wiring it wrong (it made a 'pop' noise and a funny burning smell) so I couldn't use it to control the stepper motor on one of the last projects so watch out for that. The four digit display also could be due to "user error" because it has a ton of pins that need to be connected and I wasn't sure everything was wired correctly. The PDF manual goes over how to set things up and explains what to expect when the component is powered on and describes the code but doesn't go into super fine detail over what every line means or what variables to change to change the component action so it can be a little difficult to understand. A few of the example pictures in the manual were different from the wiring diagram which can throw you off if you are not careful. I was very impressed with the quality and accuracy of all the information provided as well as the HUGE assortment of items it came with. I am super happy with all my stuff and am definitely getting another kit to add onto if all Elegoo's kits are is this organized and made! The kit was really well put together and has a good flow from easy to more challenging projects and includes everything you need to do all of the projects in the kit. If you have little experience with Arduino you can get through this pretty quickly and helps to understand installing and using the libraries and the Arduino IDE. I put pictures of the kit after I was done using everything and of the MPU-6050 I think was broken. I would've liked to see more detail on the actual writing code to set up other projects using the same components in the kit-like turning on other components from a sensor(buzzer with the motion detector, motor with the joystick) but it does a good job explaining what the code is actually doing for the individual projects and is overall really well written.
