The Most Complete Starter Kit with High Quality Components and Tutorial Quantity and quality are both important here in Elegoo MEGA starter kit. The most essential parts in this kit are MEGA controller board and expansion board, which is a clone with excellent product finish Compatible with Arduino projects. Besides, we offer other over 60 kinds of components and sensors from small parts like LED diodes, resistors and potentiometer to big parts like LCD1602, RFID module and 830 tie-points breadboard, which meet your demands for your different projects either it is simple or complex. Sturdy quality is definitely the most important thing to Elegoo even with so many components provided we never compromised on the quality. Instead we keep improving our product quality in our own factory and we produce the products by ourselves under high standards and strict quality control. Pins and wires on some of the parts like LCD16502 and motors have been pre-soldered which is very convenient and saves your time. LCD1602 Display module LCD1602 module is a display that has an LED backlight and can display two rows with up to 16 characters on each row. You can see the rectangles for each character on the display and the pixels that make up each character. The display is just white on blue and is intended for showing text. Lining up the display with the top of the breadboard helps to identify its pins without too much counting, especially if the breadboard has its rows numbered with row 1 as the top row of the board. Do not forget, the long yellow lead that links the slider of the pot to pin 3 of the display. The 'pot' is used to control the contrast of the display. DC Motors and L293D Transistor In this project you will learn how to control a small DC motor using a Mega board and a L293D transistor, which is a very useful chip. It can actually control two motors independently. We are just using half the chip in this lesson, most of the pins on the right hand side of the chip are for controlling a second motor. L293D is quadruple high-current half-H drivers and designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is also designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications. 74HC595 Shift Register and LEDs 74HC595 is a Serial to Parallel Converter which has eight outputs and three inputs that you use to feed data into it a bit at a time. This chip makes it a little slower to drive the LEDs (you can only change the LEDs about 500,000 times a second instead of 8,000,000 a second) but it's still really fast, way faster than humans can detect, so it's worth it! 74HC595 shift register is a type of chip that holds what can be thought of as eight memory locations, each of which can either be a 1 or a 0. To set each of these values on or off, we feed in the data using the 'Data' and 'Clock' pins of the chip. Review: Great starting kit for learning and beginner level engineers - I bought the ELEGOO Mega R3 Ultimate Starter Kit to get hands-on experience with Arduino, and I’m really happy with the purchase. 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: Very satisfying to get right and is a good learning tool. - I bought this for myself so I could learn more about circuits and programming. This kit is really cool and challenging. If you're a big kid or have a kid, or grandkid, or just know a smart kid who could use some inspiration - whatever, get this kit and dig in. There are a lot of fun projects that will challenge the brain and if you get it right, will serve up some rewarding moments. I found just initiating the kit, like just the beginning steps, getting it to work on my Mac, getting the files properly loaded, navigating the instructions to be a challenge and at times a bit of a puzzle in and of itself. It felt like a litmus test, as in, if you can't figure THIS out, you probably shouldn't be messing with this. And that made me smile. All of it is a test, a challenge, and compared to pushing buttons on the remote to watch more Netflix, I found this rewarding. So like I said - get this for yourself, get it for your kid. Have some fun making lights light up, and buzzers buzz. ## 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 | #135 in Computer Components | | Brand Name | ELEGOO | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 7,905 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00746591610586 | | Included Components | 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… | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 13.7 x 8.4 x 1.85 inches | | Item Weight | 2.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ELEGOO | | Manufacturer Part Number | EL-KIT-008 | | Model Number | EL-KIT-008 | | Size | 8.4 x 13.7 x 1.85 inches | | UPC | 746591610586 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## 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) ![ELEGOO Mega R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51W8RETXohL.jpg) ![ELEGOO Mega R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QGLw9oHoL.jpg) ![ELEGOO Mega R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oBAvmbapL.jpg) ![ELEGOO Mega R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wX79QqhHL.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.

This kit is really cool and challenging. If you're a big kid or have a kid, or grandkid, or just know a smart kid who could use some inspiration - whatever, get this kit and dig in. There are a lot of fun projects that will challenge the brain and if you get it right, will serve up some rewarding moments.

Most comprehensive kit. *by K***N on December 9, 2016* 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. ## 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.ph/products/82692294-elegoo-mega-r3-project-the-most-complete-ultimate-starter-kit](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/82692294-elegoo-mega-r3-project-the-most-complete-ultimate-starter-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
