GAR Monster Starter Kit for Arduino Uno Mega Nano, Complete Advanced Set, ESP32, ESP8266, 25 Sensor Modules, Bluetooth WiFi Ethernet for STEM Robotics Projects

Finally, after examining many Arduino kits, I ended up picking this one because of the great variety of things it offers. It’s pricier than most kits but for the number of things that you get, it's worth it. One of the first I noticed when I opened it, was how everything was sorted. It was nice to find that most of the sensitive components were inside of anti-static bags. This a true sign that they care about what they are selling.One thing that you have to know is that this is a clone Arduino, nonetheless, since Arduino is open-source there is nothing illegal here. Make sure you follow the steps in the documents inside the USB stick that will find in the kit. This is a CRUCIAL step because you will have to install the proper drivers for the Arduino to work. This is because like I already mentioned, this is the clone version. You can either download the Arduino software from the internet or use the one included in the USB stick. I recommend the first option so you will have the latest update.I'd highly recommend checking the other files in the USB drive too. It has tons of different documents. You will find very useful projects in there. Also, there is a folder where you will find the datasheets for the different sensors and accessories. This is super helpful as you won’t have to spend a lot of time looking for them online to meet the requirements of your project. However, they missed to include the datasheet for the servo, and I had a problem with the thermoresistor datasheet. It shows three different versions of the thermoresistor. But the component doesn't have any markings on it nor is the part number specified in the description. Those are really the only issues that I ran into, and you most likely will find the other components' datasheets.Besides that, another thing that really surprised me was that there was also a folder with a lot of different pdf books to learn Arduino. Some of them have over 200 pages! However, my personal preference is the book written by Jeremy Blum, "Exploring Arduino", which you can find here on Amazon.After opening the kit, the first thing I did was to test my new Arduino board by running a simple code that turns an LED on and off. It worked flawlessly. So far I've been running different codes to tinker with the different accessories such as the photoresistor, motor driver IC, servo, potentiometer, LEDs, speaker, etc. I was impressed to find that one of the ICs (Integrated Circuit) was from Texas Instruments and not from an unbranded seller. For those who don't know, that company has a very high reputation in the electronics world in which NASA has used their products. Although I can't tell the quality of the rest of the kit, this is a huge plus for me because it speaks of quality.There is no doubt that the amount of things that you can do with this kit is unlimited. There are so many different components that, as a matter of fact, I even had to split the kit in another container because it was so compacted. The only thing that they missed to include in the kit were jumper wires, but this is still a great kit and it well deserves a five-star rating. I highly recommend it.

Very nice starter package for someone interested learning more about using the sensors and devices for practical applications. Lots of information about the components readily available including how to hook them up and program. Was missing a couple small components originally but got them quickly soon as I let customer service know.Highly recommend this kit as a great starter set and 5 stars for the seller as well.

After having a little bit of an issue with part identification I discovered I was missing a part. I contacted the seller and they were quick to respond and sent the missing part right away. After receiving the part it appeared to be a duplicate of a part I already had. The two parts look very much alike. I contacted the seller again and again they were quick to respond. I told them I was ok with just keeping the two identical parts but they are sending another part anyway. Very courteous and professional. The components are good quality and the parts case is as well. I will be a return customer.

This kit has an impressive array of Arduino boards, connections, sensors, and other modules ready to be hooked up! I had to shave a star because the USB drive mentioned in other reviews, which was supposed to contain instructions and literature on starting Arduino was missing from my kit.

This kit has everything you will need to start with an Arduino. It includes sensors, M-M, M-F, and F-F wires, a breadboard, an Arduino Uno, Mega and Nano, the cords to use for each of them, shields, LEDs, seven segment displays, resistors, and much more.This kit also includes a USB drive with complete documentation for every part, with diagrams for how to wire them up and example code to run each sensor, along with a large library of ebooks.This is probably the best Arduino kit on Amazon.

Over all a very comprehensive kit containing many different projects with everything included to get up and running.Had a small issue with my particular kit, but seller was eager to help and resolved my issue quickly.Some documentation is a little dated with non-functioning code, but there is a plethora of example code to be found on the internet.Great kit and very fun to experiment with.

Broken item. Will see if there's more pieces broke.

So far it's a good product. Checked all the Arduino's and they all work. The guide it comes with does have lots of tutorials for each sensor and they recommend an amazing YouTube instructor to follow for Arduino beginner video series. Nicely done. Best kit on the market. Worth the $210. My only recommendation is more information for beginners on how to not permanently damage your Arduino by overloading it. A total beginner with no concepts on electricity could easily accidentally kill their Arduino so be careful! :D
