  1. Do you have any recommendations for hard plastic boxes for the components in the starter kit, or does the cradbord suffice?

  2. 7:40 I use a USB to USB cable to power it and it works fine i just plug the usb to usb cable to my phone charger

  3. im 14 years old, and lately ive been really interested and passionate about this engineering and i thought of buying a kit just like those in the video.I dont have a lot of experience or knowledge. What should i buy?

  4. Excelente reseña, como todos tus videos. Tristemente no miré ningún video tuyo en español. Sería fantástico que también compartieras tus conocimientos y experiencia con gente que no habla inglés. Millones se beneficiarían con ello.
    Saludos y bendiciones!

  5. Do you have the V2 pdv guide from the video? I bought this and there is only the V1 in the Elegoo site, which is quite .. not as good 😀

  6. I took Elegoo kit , i believe they followed some advisory and nowadays resistors have the right color , we started to play with that and my 10 yt old son loves it even though he is very impatient , i guess it is the best to start easy , let them play with cabling abd support them whenever they need some help, actually we are going to build some fastest lap display for Carrera cars , keep fingers crossed , i hope we can make it 😁

  7. Looks like it’s off too Amazon for the Eligoo Kit (too bad about the resistors) on a blue back ground (very much hard) to determine the value I agree.. Thanks for this very informative video.. Very helpful..Takes the guess work out of knowing what to get. 👍👍👍👍👍

  8. I enjoy very much your review, I am interested in this kind of projects. Now that I am a Model Railroad fan, and this days they use a lot of electronics. When I was a kid of about 10 yr. old, my dad give me a set, with the posibility of building several electronic projects. This was a set with the Philips branding, from Holland, but was made in Mexico. The Name of the set: ELECTRONIC ENGINEER . It had a booklet with electronic and electric basics and another part with the instructions for building different projects. An AM radio, a light detector, a humidity detector, even a very small keyboard, a pair of speakers, and the various electronic components. All powered by a battery. Was a nice Set. Somewhere. I kept the booklet only. But I have a grandson that will be 10 yr.old this year, very intelligent, he was born in Austria, and lives there. Recently he, and his peers, were exposed, to a Technic school, and they receive information about LEDs, Faraday cages, electricity. And he is interested in this matters. So I Think this ARDUINO starter kit is for him

  9. i like these type of things but the problem is even though i know programming coding and basics of legal hacking i dont have the material which i need the most😔

  10. Thank you for this video. My Elegoo kit has been sitting around collecting dust. Now I’m opening it back up to try a few of the experiments.

  11. thanks for the excellent video, sometimes is hard to find things well done in YouTube! Im going with Elegoo, I want to start a project that reads temperature and humidity from Industrial Refrigeration Chambers. I know that Elegoo is the right option to start learning in this case. I come from the world of programing and getting into this new world now!
    Cheers! Alfredo from Argentina.

  12. I just want to thank you for helping me through with this I was confused and worried and you showed me everything I was thinking, Thanks.

  14. You may consider the following in addition when comparing the kits:
    Elegoo "just copied" what has been developed / designed by Arduino. Arduino is a non-profit organization. Development of the boards, the parts, the specification is much more expensive than "copying". So it is always better to support the original whenever possible, so they can invest the money in development of new boards, new parts, etc. In case everybody would buy the cheapest kit it is to be expected the Arduino will run out of money.

  15. After idk how many years of having a buzzer in my drawer of random things I learned that it’s a buzzer and it makes sound

  16. I can’t find the elegoo newest tutorials (with the purple background) on their website, someone knows how i can get them ?
