Smraza Ultimate Project Starter Kit for Arduino with Stepper Motor, Servo Motor and Ultrasonic Sensor for Arduino R3 Mega 2560 NANO(26 Projects)

This kit comes at a great price point for what you get. It is jam-packed full of things to get you stated and comes with a disc (or online PDF) full of projects. The product was neatly packages and there were no missing/damages items. All parts are working as they should be. And if anything wasn't working; there is help on the included support/service card and ways of contacting the company. Overall I am very happy with this product and I would happily recommend this to anyone first starting on arduino.

So I was looking at getting into a new hobby with my eldest son and he is quite keen on circuits and stuff so I thought I would look down that avenue.The market has many kits and its all a bit of a blur really so I emailed a few sellers to ask for some information.The kit I ended up buying was down to the response of the seller. I asked maybe 5 or 6 questions and got answers to them all so I decided to go for Smraza kit No26 The Super UNO R3 starter kit.This is somewhat more than a starter kit but contained enough stuff that we wouldn’t get bored at stage 1.The kit arrived fairly quickly and was well packaged in its own plastic case, wrapped in bubble wrap and packaged via amazon.Upon opening it I was greeted with a whole host of gizmos and packages which made no sense.After my initial panic I popped the cd in and had a look through the instructions.There was loads of pdf tutorials on it and I soon realised that it was going to take us a while to use the kit in the box.Instructions are decent enough, with very basic tutorials to much more complicated ones.If you know what you are doing and want to rush ahead I am sure you could but for us it will be a slow process.I cant fault the kit so far, its huge and has provided some fun already.I have noticed they sell other kits as well which are slightly cheaper but I like this one as it comes with so much stuff.As it stands I would use them again as a seller and also keep an eye on their stuff to build up our collection of gizmos to use. I also like the fact it was done via amazon so i have some comeback on the product if there was any problems.

First off, this is a brilliant kit for the money. It comes well packaged in a small plastic case and includes just about anything someone wishing to learn programming might want. I was absolutely bowled over by exactly how many components were included and had to check the contents twice because I kept missing bits.When I started using the kit the software was easy to install and the uno worked without a hitch leaving me to enjoy tinkering.The only let down was the instruction manual. This is provided on CD which is inconvenient as i (like most people these days) don’t have a CD drive on my laptop. A small note inside the pack said that you can download the instruction manual from the manufacturers website but after scouring the site I was unable to find it.Once I did get the instructions off of the disc I found them very clunky and easy to missunderstand. It was more difficult working out what they wanted you to do that it was to do it and some of the instructions were misleading, while others had contradictory information in them.The instructions are the reason why I have only given 4 stars however the kit itself is definitely 5 stars and you can easily find tutorials on the internet.

A good starter kit with plenty of scope for projects included. I've never used an Arduino or similar device before but to be fair I'm familiar with many of the components and electronic circuits so am not a beginner in some respects. It is quite easy to get to the point of doing something, even if just flashing an LED, from there you're interest should take you forward.

Everything you need for beginners, and is well presented in a box which provides dividers when you unpack everything. No need for a genuine Arduino Uno, this does the job at a lower price!

The media could not be loaded. Love it, love it, love it.Whilst I am relatively familiar with the arduino, this was bought for my daughter who has seen me meddle with the components and wants to get involved. This kit seems idealIt contains a wide variety of sensors and components along with an Arduino Uno, breadboard, jumps etc (full list seen in the description above), essentially everything you need to get started in basic programming and microprocessor electronics. The price represents superb value.The kit also contains a CD with the necessary software (though i would recommend go to Arduinos website and download the software there to ensure you have the latest version. Also on the CD are plenty of tutorials in well written english with good images to show you how/what to program and how/where to connect the various components. You will be creating your first sketch very quickly. There are also some PDF books on the CD which go into a bit more detail on the arduino and example sketches. Furthermore there are a huge amount of free resources on the web/youtube to continue your experimentation.Would strongly recommend this kit, for this price to anyone interested in starting out with Arduinos.
