ELEGOO Electronics Fun Kit

This is one of those star buys. If your just starting out on crcuit building or module fun like arduino or esp32 this is the kit for you. I bought it to top up all my needs for my esp32 projects and the value is perfect for what you get. You get everything to get you up and running on your projects. Totally recommend!

Jam packed full of fun and discovery! ^_^

Item arrived on time and seemed very comprehensive for a beginner set, now I am quite experienced and hands on but wanted to learn more about actually using capacitors and rectifiers and diodes and other components in a 'build your own circuit' type of way, got settled down with everything set out and made my first circuit with a simple basic diode on the breadboard to light up, plugged in the power board to my transformer and pressed the switch... nothing.. mmmm... OK just a quick recheck .. nope everything is as it should be but no power... tested the powerboats with my multimeter and there is no power on the board after the switch, pressed in or out.. Why does amazon not have any way of contacting the seller like ebay does before I either write a review or just return the whole lot? Just a replacement power board would get 5 stars and I'd be happy to return just the power board so that the seller could test it themselves! I'm happy to keep the rest and use a battery until a new power board arrives but it is quite a fundamental need for the kit so that I don't keep going through batteries..

A quick delivery of a meticulously thought package, which is in line with an electronics-head, who wants some confidence (including house mates). (Another purchase, ELEGOO car robot worked well in the same day of assembling, btw). I am personally impressed with a variety of components, thus to experiment. Can experiment more, because of the price, and develop my stash of components. Guys, you are just brilliant, live long.

Well I am a techie and have played about with the Arduino for a while. I was not at my normal location, so needed a breadboard and bits to build up a circuit for use with a Genuino UNO and ordered this kit has it contained the main stuff I needed at a good price. It arrived promptly and I had no trouble building my circuit with some other components I already had. Although I use the Arduino to power the circuit normally, the breadboard power supply module is very useful for testing. Alasdair McCormick mentions "They even have a great tutorial website to teach you if like me you don’t know what your doing". Well I am not sure about that, as I could not find that type of tutorial on the Elegoo website (perhaps they did have that sort of thing posted originally, but took it down for some reason?). They do have a zip file available for the kit (along with others) in the directory "tutorial" (added with a slash after website name). You can either bring up that URL and use "Save Link As.." to save the zip, or from the website Download page (click Download menu item to get there); scroll down and then click the picture for the "Elegoo Upgraded Electronics Fun Kit - E3" and you should get a pop-up dialog box with the "Save File" option. The zip file contains 17 PDF files which give you datasheets covering each type of item in the kit. The information may be too complex for some people, but at least you can check the spec and requirements of each component (e.g. from the "White LED Datasheets.pdf, you can confirm that Super-Green LEDs are Part Number: RL5-G8020 and are maximum 4.0V forward voltage and maximum 20 mA Continuous Forward Current). I was slightly amused with the component pictures and descriptions inside the lid of the box. They include a picture of what is described as a "104pF Ceramic Capacitor 10PCS). Well, someone slipped up there! The 104 marking on a ceramic capacitor should be interpreted as follows: Two significant digits followed by the number of zeros. example: 104 = 100 000 pF = 100 nF = 0.1 uF (where my u should be the micro symbol). so NOT 104pF, lol. The datasheets are good, just someone messed up when doing the inside lid information! I will not knock of 1 star for that though! In conclusion, this is a great value kit and well worth the money. The technical information is available for it at the time of writing anyway. I may well buy another one as I can never have enough breadboards, LEDs, links etc. I will also consider other kits made by them.

Everything you need in an electronics starter kit, thanks

Superb complete breadboard kit for prototyping and testing. Great value as it includes jumper wires, a useful selection of components, and a power supply module. Arrived quickly with low postal costs.

Grate starting kit but but no instructions and no datasheets and no power connector
