The kit comes with a Mega 2560 board and a huge variety of components like sensors, motors, LEDs, and more. Everything was well-organized in a plastic case, making it easy to keep things sorted. One of the best things about this kit is the tutorial. The step-by-step guides are clear and easy to follow, which is really helpful for beginners. The sample codes work well, and you can tweak them to understand how each component works. The quality of the components is good for the price. Some jumper wires were a bit flimsy, but they still did great job. The Mega 2560 board itself works just like the official Arduino board, and I had no issues connecting it to my laptop. Overall, this is a great kit for anyone who wants to learn electronics and programming with Arduino. It has everything needed to start experimenting and building projects. I would definitely recommend it to beginners and hobbyists. Review: I was up and running in 8 minutes. Most comprehensive kit. - I rarely give feedback on products and even more rarely give them 5 stars. This is a comprehensive starter kit at a very competitive price. I also bought the separate 37 sensor kit. There are so many gadgets in both these kits it will take me months to get through all of them. Yes, there are some misspelled words and other minor issues, but I think the company really put their heart into assembling a great product. And they freely give their contact information out in many places and want you to contact them with issues. Some other complaints are around getting started and using the product with the instructions provided. I was able to install everything and control an LED light with sample code in 8 minutes, not kidding. But you have to realize this is not a kids toy, these are real engineering components here. Its up to you to learn, problem solve and create what you want from the components as opposed to being a step by step kit. That's the whole fun of it. Those with a technical or engineering background will be at an enormous advantage. You must learn how to program using C code and research how the components work. For example, I was unable to get the stepper motor to work from this kit with the example stepper motor code that comes with Arduino IDE. But that's because the example code is for a different stepper motor and there are many different kits out there with different types of stepper motors. I took me two hours to learn about stepper motors and was able to write my own code to control it. I'm lucky to have an engineering background with a little bit of C code experience so I could see someone taking much longer to figure out the stepper motor issue or giving up completely. If you really want to learn Arduino, you can. Be patient, buy books like Programming Arduino by Simon Monk, browse forums, watch YouTube tutorials, etc. So I'll summarize by saying that this is a great product and ships as advertised. I suspect many frustrations are because this is a fairly advanced kit and not a toy. Thank you for reading my review and good luck. UPDATE: I spent more time going through the sample code provided by Elegoo and the stepper motor code they provided works perfect. My comments above were based on my grabbing the code that comes with Arduino IDE which was incompatible. Again, I think the kit is great. Probably most negative feedback coming from misunderstanding how to use everything. ## Features - The MEGA2560 complete starter kit with more than 200pcs components, premium quality for Arduino kit - PDF tutorial with more than 35 lessons - LCD1602 module and GY-521 sensor module with pin header ( no need to solder by yourself) - Nice package with clear listing and surprise including a nice small box to keep the widget such as LED , IC , buttons , diodes ,etc - We have always cared about the customer experience and improve the product function details ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01EWNUUUA | | Best Sellers Rank | #137 in Computer Components | | Brand | ELEGOO | | Built-In Media | 1pcs Mega 2560 Controller Board; 1pcs USB Cable; 1pcs Breadboard; 1pcs 65 Jumper Wire; 1pcs IC 74HC595; 1pcs Active Buzzer; 1pcs Tilt Switch; 1pcs Photo resistor; 5pcs Yellow LED; 5pcs Blue LED; 5pcs Green LED; 5pcs Red LED; 1pcs RGB LED; 5pcs Button (small); 10pcs Resistor (10R); 10pcs Resistor (100R); 10pcs Resistor (220R); 10pcs Resistor (330R); 10pcs Resistor (1K); 10pcs Resistor (2K); 10pcs R… | | Compatible Devices | Arduino IDE, Lcd1602 module, GY-521 sensor module, Arduino-compatible devices | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (7,892) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00746591610586 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 13.7"L x 8.4"W x 1.85"H | | Item Weight | 2.15 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ELEGOO | | Memory Storage Capacity | 256 KB | | Mfr Part Number | EL-KIT-008 | | Model Name | EL-KIT-008 | | Model Number | EL-KIT-008 | | Operating System | FreeRTOS | | Processor Brand | Microchip Technology | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR3 | | Total Usb Ports | 4 | | UPC | 746591610586 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Wireless Compability | Infrared | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ELEGOO - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Memory Storage Capacity:** 256 KB - **Model Name:** EL-KIT-008 ## Images ![ELEGOO Mega R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XmT-DBjvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The instruction cd i got along with this kit is blank. i'm unable to access any of pdf, code or libraries. how can i download this?** A: Here is the link to download the latest version: https://www.elegoo.com/tutorial/Elegoo%20The%20Most%20Complete%20Starter%20Kit%20for%20MEGA%20V1.0.2017.10.31.zip **Q: Can children younger than 15 use this or is it too complicated.** A: It's definitely not too complicated as long as there's the interest, patience, and persistence. **Q: Can this kit be programmed with the arduino software (ide) available on arduino's page?** A: Only if you don’t own a Chromebook **Q: would this kit be appropriate for adult or would it be to easy** A: This kit is easy to learn Arduino and very complete. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starting kit for learning and beginner level engineers *by A***J on February 15, 2025* I bought the ELEGOO Mega R3 Ultimate Starter Kit to get hands-on experience with Arduino, and I’m really happy with the purchase.

Everything was Very Well Packaged, in New "Unused" Condition. All of the components come with an ID Card inside of the plastic compartmentalized carrying case. In addition to the Arduino with the Mega2560 Chip, were a host of project items such as LEDs, Resistors, Motors, Jumpers, and a Nice assortment of Sensors. From Motion, to Temperature, to Light Output. The DC Motor, Servo, and the Stepper Motor added an extra touch to the overall enjoyment. I quickly found myself updating the software code (for my own pleasure) for the Stepper Motor and Driver, and have had considerable enjoyment of there use. Elegoo has included a Great Companion CD filled with an Illustrated Guide to Experiments and Coding for the Arduino. The pictures included in the CD really help guide you through the electrical connections for the experiments, to make sure sure you get everything right. Keep in mind that this is an introductory type kit, the beginning learning of Programmable Controllers and Electronics, and how they mix and associate. I am planning on purchasing a few more of these kits for my young relatives that are exploring the world of STEM Learning through their schools. Elegoo has put together a Very Nice Kit with more than an attractive price, and Great Quality. I am really amazed at how will a number of the Amazon Vendors deliver their products for such reasonable pricing with such great delivery of packaging and goods received. The information on the Amazon Site should make it very easy to select Elegoo for as more than just a consideration for the products that they sell. In closing I would like to convey that I have not received any compensation for this review, or for any of the products that I have purchased from Elegoo which include the above mentioned kit and other electronic items. For myself this kit was a great find and great pick. ## Frequently Bought Together - ELEGOO Mega R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE - ELEGOO Upgraded 37 in 1 Sensor Modules Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE UNO R3 MEGA Nano - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/82692294-elegoo-mega-r3-project-the-most-complete-ultimate-starter-kit](https://www.desertcart.at/products/82692294-elegoo-mega-r3-project-the-most-complete-ultimate-starter-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
