This is an excellent kit for Arduino beginners. The manual is a stand-out feature of the kit – very clear, detailed and helpful for those who lack background in electronics. Little is left to chance by providing comprehensive multiple depictions of each of the 12 project circuits. Including not only realistic 2D (Arduino/breadboard plan views) and 3D drawings of the circuit layouts but also abstract circuit diagrams is a great feature.
The connections that the user needs to make between components both on the breadboard and to the Arduino itself are set out systematically and comprehensively in a table that allows the user to wire up the circuits in an almost foolproof way. There are one or two mistakes amongst the tables but these can be identified by reference to the other depictions provided. Conscientiously going back and forth between the different types of information given for each project can actually help with understanding the relevant circuit diagram.
For all its advantages, the manual does have a few errors – the project 6 (photoresistor) arduino/breadboard plan shows wrong power connections and the project 11 (relays) plan shows wrong both wrong orientation of the transistor and the diode. These mistakes were frustrating, especially in the case of the relay project where I initially thought the supplied relay was faulty (and only discovered the errors after testing the relay to establish it was OK). Surely Vilros could supply an ‘errata’ with the booklet to save their customers from this negative experience.
Unlike some other Arduino manuals are no complete sketches given in the Vilros manual. This helps to keep their manual brief and approachable. The sketches themselves must be downloaded but are well documented with comments to help the user understand what is going on. I found it useful to print the sketches off then go through them in detail to determine how they worked. The manual gives just enough ‘flavour’ of what the sketches are doing without becoming bogged down in all the minutia – I thought this balance worked very well.
The programming ideas covered in the 12 projects are quite wide ranging and well-chosen to provide a gentle introduction to the scope of what will be later met in more complex Arduino sketches. Having worked through all the projects, I felt well prepared to join the wider Arduino community and tackle projects of my own.

The picture is not what I got.
My package arrived with the seal on the carton containing the product not attached. To check the carton for missing parts, I went to the Amazon order page and started checking my received contents against the picture shown on the page where I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BT0NDB8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details. What is pictured on the product page is not what I received. However, I checked the contents against the enclosed manual, and all of the received parts matched.What I received is fine. It will be just right for the Coursera MOOC that I am taking on Internet of Things. However, if had I expected to receive what's pictured on the product page, I would have been disappointed.I am sure that I will enjoy all 12 of the examples in the enclosed manual. Also the apparent quality of the the received product looks good too. All in all, I expect to rate this product highly and the mild irritation is already dissipating.That said, poor form!
