ESP-32 Super Starter Kit with Tutorial and Development Board USB-C Dual Core Microcontroller Support AP/STA/AP+STA, CP2102 Chip Compatible with Arduino IDE

This is a great starter kit for the price! I'm decently acquainted with electronic components, but wanted to get this kit to practice coding components for my senior project, and it works perfectly for that!

Very complete set. Came sealed so you can be sure no one changes the content

One positive; for the price the kit has a wide variety of devices to experiment with and learn about. Three negatives: 1) the driver (CP210x) that allows the board to communicate with the computer over USB wasn't mentioned in the set up tutorial and it was not straight forward to find or install. 2) The two prototype boards are a nice idea but the ESP32 board pin spacing doesn't match these boards well. And 3) In the Arduino IDE program you need to select a board type before you can upload programs to your board and the tutorial doesn't tell you which one of the hundreds you need to select (its ESP32 Dev from the ESP32 Espressif tab)

The kit contains numerous electronic parts at a very reasonable price. Everything I have tested so far has worked, especially the ESP32 itself. The selection of parts is very good. The parts are not the "state of the art," but they are what hobbyists are currently using. I've worked at two national labs and also taught embedded systems part-time for 21 years at a college. I just ordered 9 more sets for my new students to examine. Note however that I did not find any links to tutorials with the kits, but I already knew how to use this equipment and did not pursue looking further for them.

Great ESP32 starter kit. Includes online documents and components needed to up to 24 project examples.

Seems everything works or looks in good shape. The learning system is a bit more modular and what I wanted I wanted to learn more about direct coding. But I'm sure that somebody could have a great phone with this teenager or a father and son team would be excellent.

Decent kit, but the breadboard is not compatible with the ESP32 board. The board is 9 pins wide, and it is not possible to make connections to both sides on the breadboard. Don't get this kit, or if you do, get a standard ESP32 board that fits a standard breadboard.

Generally a great kit! However, there are a few things that could make it a LOT better: - the ELEGOO wiki tutorials are littered with errors (including missing instructions for where to find the Silabs CP2102 chip driver, and how to install it, incorrect wiring diagrams, misnamed DuPont wires, components missing from wiring diagrams, some errors in code, etc.) that need to be corrected. It seems like they haven't had actual novices follow the instructions in a long time, and haven't updated the Wiki with corrections/omissions, making it more difficult than it needs to be for a new customer to get started. - the kit includes a USB 3 to USB C cable, but few laptops now have USB 3. A cable with USB C on both ends (or with USB 3 and USB C on one end, and USB C on the other end) would be a lot more helpful - the carry case is too cramped, making repacking difficult: could have more compartments, each with a label of the relevant component that goes int that slot - a better way to store the resistors would be useful (e.g. one labeled plastic bag for each resistor type, so they could be replaced into their relevant bag, rather than stuck all muddled back in the same bag) - a 9V USA wall adapter would be a great inclusion (instead of just a 9V battery) - some F-F Du Pont cables, and more M-F DuPont cables, would be useful - more small foam to protect more of the chip legs would be useful - a couple more RGB LEDs would be useful - a cheap plastic stand for the 3-6V DC motor and fan would be helpful: to get the fan to run unobstructed, I had to mount the DC motor in a flipped over old egg carton - the stepper motor only runs for a 1-3 minutes before grinding to a halt; not sure why; possibly error in the instructions/code I hope this feedback helps the manufacturer. Thank you for a fun product, and I hope you can make it even better with the feedback above!

Great kit, with great components. Documentation is a work in progress, but gets the job done. I recommend if someone is looking to understand ESP-32.

It has everything I need to get started on my project. Tons of fun extras

Good Value for your money if you want to learn ESP32 but you will need to do lots of looking around. Problems: 1) You need to install the SILABs CP2102 driver otherwise you can't communicate with the ESP32. 2) The tutorials in the Zip files from the QR code don't always match the INO files for GPIO pinouts. 3) They also have a WIKI page that may or may not match the zip files. 4) The QR zip file for the gyro clearly indicates MPU-6050 and the Gyro supplied is MPU 6500. The kit description does state GY6500. The difference is Adafruit code may not work with the 6500 since you load 6050. Go buy a proper MPU-6050, save yourself a lot of issues Still for the price a good deal

Everything came as advertised exactly on the screen. I haven't used everything yet but it appears to be all decent quality stuff. Will be a great project for me and my kids to add to our home automation systems.

The ESP32 board in this kit is a powerful upgrade from the classic Arduino Uno. It features dual cores and built in Wi Fi and Bluetooth which opens up a lot of possibilities for IoT projects. I really like that it uses a modern USB C port for power and programming because most of my other cables are already that type. The selection of components in the box is very generous. You get everything from basic resistors and LEDs to more complex modules like an OLED screen an RFID reader and several types of motors. The build quality of the components feels solid and the breadboards are actually decent quality with holes that line up correctly. Everything is designed for solderless assembly which makes it perfect for kids or anyone just starting out with electronics. I spent some time going through the tutorial projects and found them to be a mixed bag. To get the instructions you have to scan a QR code because the printed URL in the quick start guide was not working correctly for me. Once I got the files I noticed a few errors in the diagrams. For example one lesson warns you about using resistors with LEDs to prevent them from burning out but the picture shows the LED connected directly to the pin. Another project for a DC motor suggests using an external power supply but the wiring diagram shows the motor powered directly from the ESP32 which might not be enough current. If you have some basic electronics knowledge these small gaps are easy to fix but a complete beginner might find them confusing. The storage case is nice for keeping everything organized but it is a very tight fit. Once you take all the parts out of their individual bags it is almost like playing Tetris to get them all back inside so the lid closes properly. Despite these minor issues with the documentation the hardware itself is excellent. I was able to set up a temperature and humidity sensor and connect it to my home network in under thirty minutes. The power of the ESP32 is impressive and the chip handled multiple tasks without any lag or stability issues. This kit is a great value for anyone looking to learn about microcontrollers or teach a student about circuitry. It is much more convenient than ordering all these parts individually and the price is very fair for what you get in the box. Just be prepared to do a little extra research if the tutorial diagrams seem a bit unclear.
