Advisable to view the movie 'Ex Machina' beforehand. **Q: Not having dabbled with this at all - do i need to buy the Arduino as a separate item to work with this kit?** A: No, the Arduino is included with the kit. **Q: What tools are required?** A: Well, no tools at all I would say. Battery and 9 volt power supply is included. Things are connected either directly to the Elegoo Mega board or via the included white breadboard. Examples of program code and connection schematic are included on the CD which is included in the package. **Q: Hi, I'm keen to dabble into coding / creating simple 8mb games. Would this kit offer a starting point and let me create those options or is this** A: If you mean 8 bit games, then yes you could, although it would be difficult for a beginner. I would highly suggest getting the Mega though, as you may have to add memory with another version of the board, especially if you are not worrying very low level code. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a huge kit with lots of tutorials to learn with... *by T***O on 19 February 2026* This is a huge kit with pretty much every sensor, board and wire you will need to start your Arduino electronics journey, all in one box!

Thx ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing value for money *by B***I on 25 November 2018* I had been curious about Arduino for a while, but to get plenty of value out of one, you need plenty of I/O devices to interface with it. Luckily this has plenty! The box it comes in is rather good actually, and packed full of goodies! If you add up the cost of everything, it would certainly come to more than what the kit costs. It's nice to see that the modules and components are very good quality, and they haven't just gone with the cheapest. I was hesitant to buy a board that wasn't made by Arduino, but this is extremely well made. I had no issues whatsoever connecting to my laptop and for the Arduino IDE to recognise the board. For my first project, I actually used a GPS module that wasn't included in the kit, but I wired it to the board and used the 16x2 LCD display to show my location. It performed just fine with no issues. I wasn't going to bother with the CD, but after browsing the projects I couldn't resist! In my opinion, it is perfectly fine for beginners with very clear instructions, and shows you where the code and libraries are and how to use them. I was curious to try the RFID module and literally had it running in less than 10 minutes. Next was the 8x8 LED display, with the code having a nice scrolling demo display. All instructions were easy to follow and diagrams very clear. As a starting point, you cannot do better for the price. It's a good stepping stone and I would absolutely encourage playing around with the code. After that, there are millions of pages full of resources to tinker with. There are no real negatives. I suppose if you're not computer literate it may take a little longer to grasp, but not out of reach. The included wires aren't the best, but they do the job just fine and you can obviously use whatever wires you're used to. One of the best and most interesting things I think I've ever bought! Well done Elegoo. You have a brilliant quality product here. ## Frequently Bought Together - ELEGOO Mega R3 Project The Most Complete Ultimate Starter Kit Barebone PCs Compatible with Arduino IDE with Tutorial - ELEGOO Upgraded 37 in 1 Sensor Modules Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino UNO R3 MEGA Nano Raspberry pi 4(Excludes Microcontroller Board) - 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/47908574-elegoo-mega-2560-r3-project-the-most-complete-ultimate-starter](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/47908574-elegoo-mega-2560-r3-project-the-most-complete-ultimate-starter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
