- 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:
amzn.to/30ihpsv
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.
Glad it was helpful. You'll have a blast exploring this kit.
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.
Great feedback for any one staring out. I'd also recommend a good book on begging electronics such as this one: amzn.to/3KhXthm
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.
Do you have a recommendation for a base? Thanks for the comments!
@@retroCombs I got the 7 in 1 RAB holder from Makeronics off Amazon. There are other similar ones as well.
@@CrimFerret Ah yes. I see what you mean now. I have a similar pad. amzn.to/3cXEMgF
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.
😁
33:15 I believe that's Tilt (/Ball) Switch
And
33:23 It's Thermistor (Sorry If I got it wrong)
Thanks for helping keep me straigh!
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
The camera is pointed down at a slight angle. It's actually mounted to the yellow lamp you see in the video. Sorry it made you dizzy 🥴 but thanks for watching.
Hello I enjoyed your video it was very informative. what is the deal with the classes and students you spoke of?
I teach Design Thinking at Purdue University. This video was part of their instruction during COVID.
@@retroCombs so that explains it! Wow…that’s big time, you must have worked very hard to get where your are. That’s awesome!
@@Gregpas18 Some of that and some luck thrown in there for good measure. 😁
This pack is now $60 :(
Keep an eye on it. They regularly go on sale.
@@retroCombs I put a watch on it. I have a arty junior and she's getting wicked into robotic toys. If I can get her programming her own robotic things, I will change her life. Just like getting a vic-20 did for me.
Awesome. Similar situation. My daughter's a graphic designer and I had her programming LEGO robots in her early days. She's talented, musical, and tech savvy. Makes a daddy proud!
@@retroCombs Yeah I just bought two for under that in AUD on sale (mainly as I wanted some arduinos and some parts and buying the kit is a bonus as you get parts you can use with tons of other projects like rpi stuff)
This kit hasn't changed at all over the years. Glad they are still available.
Did I ask?
I'm not sure. What was the question?
@retroCombs you should unbox the elegoo uno r3 upgraded most complete starter kit V2.0
@@stardark2174 So you are saying I need to upgrade. Got it. Yes, this video is three years old. I'm sure there are changes. Thanks for the feedback!
@@retroCombs your welcome
@@stardark2174 Just sent an email to Elegoo to see if they might be intersted in sending me an upgraded kit.
