Elegoo Arduino Basic Starter Kit & Simple Tutorial

The folks over at Elegoo reached out to me recently and asked if I would be interested in checking out their Elegoo Arduino Basic Starter Kit. Since I already have the Elegoo Super Starter Kit, I wanted to see what was in the basic kit.

There's quite a bit you can do with one of these kits, so let's take a look at a simple project where we'll cycle through some colors on an RGB light by pressing a button.

Here's a list of things you'll need for this project:

1 x Arduino Uno
1 x Breadboard
1 x Button
1 x RGB Light
3 x 220 Resistors
1 x 10k Resistor
8 x Breadboard Wires

The rest of the project specifications are on my website here:

I want to give a big shoutout to Elegoo for reaching out and offering to send me this kit. Let me know in the comments what project you would build with this kit!

A tip from an absolute beginner. It would be good to say exactly WHERE you're placing components rather than breezing past that. The first button placed, I had no idea where in the bread board you put it and didn't want to continue.

Hi there, could you explain the 10k resistor?

[Anna-xglv]

I don’t know which side is left or right. Better when you hold it on the black background

[clicksandbeeps]

What is the code program that he used?

[SteveH-TN]

Thanks for sharing this video, appreciate your thoughts. While I studied electronics initially in High School back in 1964 again in 2007 in adult technology center. I recently purchased a Digital Storage Oscilloscope TC3 handheld which I am forward to using 😮this Arduino Uno starter kit.

where can I find information about the forword voltage and amps of each component in this kit??

[GearheadStew]

Cool video! I noticed in your links though, the solid wire link is the same as the resistor link. Might have to get me some of that solid wire, makes for a nice clean build!

[Afeqs]

I appreciate the great video instruction. I added in what I thought might be Teal and Orange as well :D though, I guess the Programmable LED I received is not as great quality as the one it seems you received with your kit. Again much appreciated.

else if (counter == 5) {
digitalWrite(redPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(greenPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(bluePin, HIGH);
}

else if (counter == 6) {
digitalWrite(redPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(greenPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(bluePin, LOW);

I did this project and it worked and I was so happy! thank you!

[gliese]

At 11:15 you said the light being on indicates it is working but mine is blinking even though I checked the board and nothing was wrong

[Coco-mklv]

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation! It made is so much easier.

[durgatimilsina]

bro how i am goone copy all that code?

[cicadaliu]

when i program it into arduino, it says an error occured when upploading this sketch

[danielflynn]

where can I find the lesson guide with code? CD will not lode

[samuelgoodwin]

I got it all hooked up exsaclty and put the program in but no matter what I do it will only show green and light green. Any ideas why? xx

[Amelia-vptq]

Great video! But just want to check, are you earthing it with breadboard wires or something else?

[nicholasparsons]

basic i know but those resistors look EXACTLY the same to me. how do you know the difference. noob here obviously but thats why im watching starter videos

[varavind]

Thanks for the video. What code are you using? Is it an example that comes along with the kit? I don't find code by the name RGB_Button in the examples. Did you write your own code for this video? Also, can you please clarify how you are connecting the 'keyboard' to Uno? Thanks!

[sugaryjaws]

I'm looking to create a Unity project where I can read and visualize the player's heartbeat using an Arduino. Would this kit be a suitable for such a project or would something like the Arduino UNO be a better choice? Provided I also buy a pulse sensor to connect to it. I'm not too familiar with arduinos so I just want to know which one would best suit my project

[bradsnyder]

you did a lot just for the review! you should make some simple tech tip videos on programming or arduino or windows 10 issues etc and click bait more tbh man
