You must get the elegoo mega 2560 board kit. You need to learn how to use the protoboard on top of the arduino first. Use velcro to attach boards to top of case. Glue power supply to breadboard, it tips off too easily. Try to find a friend to share learning curve with. It's more fun working the same experiments together. Build the experiments from the cd on the white bread board first. Using the cd as a guide. Then rebuild them on the protoboard. Solder things like resistors and leds. Use wires for sensors and such. Buy extra protoboards when you fill the 1st one. If you can not get it to work on the mega2560 board try an uno. Some sketches on the cd get errors from the ide. Add a double row of female wire connectors to protoboard, pins 30 to 50

The Uno R3 Ultimate Starter Kit model# S26 is a great resource for learning micro-controller interfacing and programming. Huge internet resource available involving learning / projects, and detailed operation. Includes all required material to experiment with ( you may want to add 2 AA batteries). From beginner, to proto-type engineering, this is the perfect kit to fill that platform. -Mike

This kit is nice has a plastic box to hold everything in the kit. Inside of the box is pictures of everything that comes in kit. A cd with PDF files to get started but there are loads of videos on YouTube. They say you can not teach an old dog new tricks. I am 53 and the other day i made a 10 led lights do the same thing that the car on knight Rider did in the 82 show with David Hasselhoff. You will learn how to write code through Arduino software to upload to your new Arduino board.

The kit has everything you need to start plying with sensor and controls the uno board works great out of the box no issue uploading code and testing.I was up and running in five minutes. This was the first time using uno normally I use rasberry pi. but this is also a great addition on to pi as well. I'm having fun with the kids creating a weather station. And playing with resistor for the first time. Highly recommended

Easy to follow tutorials, with preassembled code and useful diagrams. 9.7/10 would recommend. Comes with a lot of parts, at a surprisingly good value. Yes, if you are looking for specific parts, this may be more expensive, but for a novice, this gives you a bunch of hardware and useful tutorials. Lots of online tutorials require additional hardware, and this gives you a useful baseline of tech to work with. The instructions are pretty straightforward, and not daunting. I love it! Small nitpicks: 1. USB-B cable is a bit short, so plan on getting a longer one. I plug the Arduino in to compile code, then unplug it and plug it into a power bank so I can work on the breadboard without tugging on the microcontroller. 2. Resistors are somewhat ambiguous and hard to read compared to standard ones. Just put them back in the lableled holders after each use. 3. I'd love to have a bit more detail with the code. Maybe have partially finished code, and explain the libraries and reserved words a bit more? Its quite good, I just think there is room for improvement! :) One of the questions that still remains for me: **How do I learn what order the circuit has to be in for custom projects?** This beginner guide shows you how to do some great projects, but it doesn't explain why everything is in the order that it is. Why do circuits go from LED-> ground on the negative side, then have a resistor to power on the positive side, then switch configurations for certain other LEDs? The guide tells you where to put components, but not why we do so for X component to not fry everything. Read full review
