ELEGOOUNO R3 Board ATmega328P with USB Cable(Arduino-Compatible) for Arduino

Just learning to code so this was my first experience with such an item. I went through the tutorials and feel pretty confident now. I even ordered some parts to create a personalized device. Lots of support, ideas and instructions out there to help you through. Wish I had started tinkering with this decades ago. This would be a GREAT idea for a teenager who is interested in electronics.By the way, it works perfectly and the price is very affordable. Get a beginner kit so you have the extra parts and pieces to experiment with. Hours of enjoyment and education fun!

What we need excep

Works well with beginners and experienced hobbyists. I strongly suggest the book “coding Arduino by Simon Monk” because it provides a smooth tutorial for coding arduino unos and internet-compatible arduinos.

Awesome board however it’s not 100% compatible with the Arduino software which was using on the application for my project.

Product was as shown and the price was good, shipping was on time even in a snow storm.Delivery guy needs a 5 star rating as well.

I buy the Elegoo board because it is cheaper and performs identically to the original Arduino. The Atmega micro controller chip is NOT surface mounted so I can easily replace the chip with a replace if an unfortunate event destroys the component.

Five StarsThis Arduino clone board worked perfectly for me right out of the box. No drama, no issues, no system software updates. Just upload the newest compatible version of Arduino with your OS.I am a reasonably experienced multi-platform computer user, but Mac is my preferred platform. For me, running Mac 10.13.6 High Sierra on a 2012 Mac Mini, Arduino 1.8.19 works flawlessly. AccelStepper, ezButton, and all the other popular libraries worked first time.The supplied USB cable was too short for my purposes, so I had to substitute a known working data plus power USB cable. Also, the device does not like being ported through hubs, though with the right hub it probably works fine. I just didn't bother.I did get one "device drawing too much USB current" alert from my Mac OS, but I have no idea why. It was just sitting there. I think it was a fluke or a momentary short or something as I had the board laid out on my desktop.Other than that, works like a charm. Accepts the XikenTec HCDC Shield.Not all clones are created equal. See my review of "another brand" of Uno clone, the very cheapest one currently on Amazon. I'm ordering another one of these Elegoo right now to replace that one, which I am sending back.The Elegoo branded Uno clone seems like a good compromise between clone pricing and OEM compatibility. Or, screw around loading drivers and fiddling with your OS for a day or two and save an additional five dollars. :-)

I'm learning something new.
