Elegoo (Arduino) Mega 2560 Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit has it all!

--~--
In this video I unpack and describe the components found in the "ELEGOO Mega 2560 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit w/Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE". That's a mouthful as you'll see and hear when viewing the video. I also make a major error (go figure), I called the prototype expansion module a breadboard. Rats.

You can read more about this video on my blog at:

The Elegoo starter kit I unpack is available at:

At the time of this video recording the package cost was $40. It normally sells for $60. Either way, it's a great value for someone trying to learn how to use an Arduino. As I discuss, students will use this kit to learn the fundamentals of physical computing and create prototypes for products they will design.

Bear with me. This was my first recording using OBS Studio and there are a few hiccups along the way. Hope others finds the content valuable.

Thanks for reviewing this kit. I am starting out with Arduino and it was great to see all the parts and the explanation. Thanks.

I did buy the elegoo kit like the one he's talking about. I learned to program, had fun with it.. But I felt I missed the basics of electronics, like how does the circuits work. all the very basics... so I went deeper by buying components Transistors, IC units and now I'm learning the very basics. I think it fun to start, but I think it makes you fail to learn the very basics.

It's a great kit. I'd highly suggest spending a bit more for base that will hold the Arduino and one or more breadboards and a box of pre-bent jumper wires of various lengths. Not having things moving around and avoiding big loops of wire all over the place will make for far less wiring errors and easier troubleshooting while you're trying to learn.

The top camera seems off 90° and its making me dizzy. I saw a guy making a automated hydroponics mini garden with the ardiuno. I youtubed a ardiuno tutortial and found paul mcporter and i been hooked. I got the this kit but as a truck driver i have to wait to get home to play with it

Hello I enjoyed your video it was very informative. what is the deal with the classes and students you spoke of?

33:15 I believe that's Tilt (/Ball) Switch
And
33:23 It's Thermistor (Sorry If I got it wrong)

Here is an idea! What if they included all components to build a cd disk reader and included instruction and source code on thumb drive.
