Overall this is great, but for me, I found that it was missing a few tricks. Firstly ,the box is a bit too small for all the components when you get into using it and scrabbling around for the bits and bobs, the IC's are unreadable making it very hard to read, so you are not sure which one you have? It really should be white ink. The resistors are tiny - making the colour banding very hard to read - and once you have removed them from the strips you can't get them back in - so you end up with a mish mash, and trying to identify a 220-ohm or 1 k-ohm is rough. Lastly, the manual is on CD? Really - who has a CD these days which means you have to download it from the internet. OK, I realise we all have the internet these days, but following a tutorial on the same PC as you are coding from and having to switch windows constantly is a bit tiring. The tutorials need checking too, as some of them are contradictory, with the text not agreeing with the schematics etc... It also has no tools, a small wire cutter, more cables so you can actually wire the circuits as shown as you are not given certain colours as shown in the pictures, and why is the ribbon cable for M-F a ribbon cable? All we are going to do is rip it apart into single strands as soon as we hit a project that needs it. Just annoying little things, I have a PI4 with a similar kit which is much more professionally packaged, so maybe I am being unfair in comparing a kit costing double. You get what you pay for I guess, and it's not a bad kit, it's just not AS enjoyable as a similar kit. You could do worse, but expect to "maybe" run into a few frustrating moments on your journey into STEM

Great product - really happy with this purchase. Great introduction to Arduino. The board is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE (I wasn't sure how that would work when purchasing - all works great). The kit comes with a set of tutorials and code samples. Dvd in the box, but I downloaded from their website. We are still running through the lessons - it was easier to get the IDE communicating with the board than I expected. Cord included to connect to the board requires USB A... If you have a modern Mac you may need to get get a USB A to USB C converter. Still loads to learn and experiment with. This kit has been a great way to start out and get some fundamentals figured out... Very happy this is what I chose as a starting point - a solid foundation.

The Uno R3 Project Box is a great option for anyone wanting to get into electronics and the Arduino. All of the components seem to be of good quality, although there were two components which had slightly bent pins but nothing that caused a problem and were easily straightened with no negative effect on the component itself. I bought the product with one specific project in mind although now I have all of the components I have thought of plenty of other projects to do. The only very minor issue I have come across so far is that the cd did not read in my drive, but that could well be either a one-off or an issue with my drive. This is not a problem though, as everything on the CD is also provided on the Elegoo website. The PDF guide seems well written and provides enough information to at least get started, covering installing the Arduino IDE, required drivers and connecting the UNO R3 to your PC. In all honesty, I haven't followed through and completed all of the tutorials. That said, having looked through them, they do cover some information that isn't necessarily self-explanatory, such as covering the usage of breadboards, resistors, schematics, wiring diagrams and Pulse Width Modulation. I think it's a good resource that would come in handy for reference should you need it. I would say that whomever wrote the PDF enjoyed doing so and gives a good amount of information on each of the points. It's easy to understand and well-written. Also included on the cd/download are the required libraries for using some of the additional modules and components so you will need to grab them and follow he instructions on the PDF for adding the libraries to your Arduino IDE.
