Complete Starter Kit Based on Arduino UNO R3 w/Detailed Free Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE (67 Items)

I am brand new to Arduino as of today and my only previous experience with micro controllers was a very simple design using a PIC processor from Microchip for lighting control. I was struggling with my second project which needed an LCD display connected. I decided to switch to Arduino because has a much better support system online. I received the REXQualis UNO R3 Complete Starter Kit this afternoon and it turns out that it was a very smart move. I made more progress in the few hours than I did in the last week.Now, more specifically about this kit:First the bad. I had trouble packing most of the components back into the case once I examined all the components that came with it :).Now the good. In the first 30 minutes, I was able to download the IDE from Arduino and get the UNO R3 up and running a simple program to blink a LED in less than 30 minutes using an example I found online. I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening adding peripherals and code to exercise them in the way I want. I am using some from the kit and some more specialized ones I ordered separately and all integrated seamlessly. It really is plug and play and there are so many examples online that make it really easy to get started.This kit is an amazing value and comes with so many accessories you will be able to experiment for ages. So far, every component, the solderless breadboard, and the jumper wires I have used work as expected. I do have to admit I have hardly touched all the components that come in the kit.I would highly recommend this kit to those who want to dabble in the world of micro controllers.

He usado el kit para diferentes proyectos de Arduino y todo me a funcionado muy bien,lo recomiendo para principiantes y conocedores del tema, todos los sensores funcionan bien, y por la cantidad de artículos que trae el kit puede diseñar y desarrollar muchos proyectos.

Product came as advertised and appears to be a great value. The Arduino boards GPIO pins could have been soldered a tad better, as in straighter to align with the board but functional all the same.**EDIT** After reviewing the box I found that the 9V battery connector was missing and some of the component leads were bent- nothing that altered the function. The CD is VERY bare bones- and honestly if you are looking to learn anything about Arduino you will have to do your own homework. Project 1 doesn't even explain how to identify the polarity of an LED... and the photo guide had the LED hooked up backwards while the actual schematic was correct (learn to read these instead!)I've been using the Sparkfun Inventors Kit project guide for Arduino since this RexQualis kit comes with all the necessary components. You can download the PDF version on the SF website and follow along with DETAILED instructions and reasoning behind all electronic connections and theory... MUCH BETTER than this CD.I would not recommend this to anyone just starting out unless you have some electronics knowledge as this kit will not "teach" you much- it's very "plug this here"- "copy this code" and no explanations as to why... BUT it's a complete kit with loads of sensors-- hopefully they all work....

This is one of the best kits available at amazon in terms of value-cost ratio. It contains a variety of interesting accessories (sensors, motors, interfaces, visualization) while keeping an affordable price. As seen in the picture, it contains many of the most common peripherals to get you entertained for days plus a set of RFID devices to explore this applications that simplify and automate tasks in our daily live: access control, automated tolls, etc. It comes inside a small plastic organizer, the sensitive assemblies are inside their own anti-static bag. Though you will have to use a bigger storage for the breadboard and other medium size accessories after you fill the included organizer with the small components, but it is OK if you already own components you probably already have a bigger organizer.The pdf manual that can be downloaded even before purchase explain the important considerations of the different electronic components, you don't need to be an expert in electronics to implement the example projects, all the connections are well described, code is provided as well; you will need more knowledge though if you want to expand the projects with your own ideas :)

Received the kit with no parts missing. It even comes with a parts list that is printed on the back side of the inside cover label. The Uno R3 (Arduino) seems to work so far (I have only done tutorials 1 and 2), but optimistic about the rest of the components in the kit. While it did include a CD with tutorial documentation, I opted to download them from their website.The tutorials are straight forward and if you follow the diagrams to the letter you shouldn't have any issues however, they could do with additional info. Considering that this may be a kit given to a beginner, some physics of electricity concepts, fundamentals and calculations would go a long way to make this even more educational.The guide on the breadboard should also mention that it is divided into two halves, where the top rows labeled A to E are not connected to F to J. Aside from that, I absolutely love this little kit and still think its worth 5 stars.

The media could not be loaded. I have been wanting to expand my Arduino collection, and once I saw this kit, I knew that it would be great. When it arrived, all the pieces were protected and there was no damage. For the price, it comes with so much! Many other kits the same price come with hardly anything- this came with SO MUCH! Not only did this come in a great sized case, but the smaller wires and other smaller parts (like LEDs) came in even smaller, handier cases! I am amazed with the quality of this kit for its price- nothing compares to it! So far, the CD has been very useful with introducing me to parts I am not familar with. I would UNDOUBTEDLY recommend this kit to anyone who is a beginner or anyone who wants more Arduino parts of good quality. 5 Stars!
