    1.0 out of 5 stars Awful
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2017
    Format: Paperback
    Absolutely terrible kit for a ridiculously high price. Extremely basic components, the book is hard to follow and most of the pages are dedicated to other shields/arsuinos you can buy. Worse, I suspect the Arduino isn't even genuine.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible manual and expensive for what it is.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2017
    Format: Paperback
    An uninspiring selection of components and a very poorly produced manual make for a poor purchase.

    I wanted to refresh my knowledge of using arduino boards and this appeared a good choice in Maplin, sadly not.

    The first issue is the manual which is all printed in monochrome, grey text on a grey background for the code snippets is not good. The supplied breadboard is tiny, but then you don't get many components so not too much of a worry, but a proper breadboard will be my next investment. The components supplied could be picked up for pennies and there are better books on the market.

    A purchase that has left me regretting my choice.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2015
    Format: Paperback
    I am an arduino beginner - I bought this kit a few days ago and I'm making my way through the manual now. I would not recommend this to a beginner, terminology is used without definition and the order of the manual doesn't make logical sense to me. The manual seems to be translated from another language - there are inconsistencies in some of the explanations. When buying in Dublin this is the only starter kit I could get but I have since done further research and the starter kit from Vilros seems to be the best for total beginners like myself - the manual is reviewed as being very clear and easy to understand and it comes with more components than Franzis.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time with this. Pick up an alternative Arduino pack.

    I had a couple of spare days and whilst shopping at Maplins happen to come across this and purchased it on a whim.

    Wish I never did. The manual is extremely difficult to read (why display code with dark grey background!!). A digital copy would have been a great, great help. Also, the hook up wire (the stuff used to connect the breadboard to the Arduino) is not precut so you require a wire cutter of some description.

    The tutorials do not explain well and assumes you know electronics. I bought this with the possibility of going through it with my nephew--- absolutely no way.

    Don't waste your time with this.Pick up an alternative.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Do not get this
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2016
    Format: Paperback
    Terrible for beginners. Dry, ugly and the practical tutorials are boring. Large parts of the book are overly-complicated. The resistors section goes into detail as to how the resistance level is determined, which is fine, but the book doesn't explain the cool things you could potentially do with them or even hint you might do later. This approach of formal learning is very slow and un-motivating.

    If you unfortunately own this kit, try searching for 'programming electronics academy' on youtube. You can use the components supplied in the kit. The only problem with this is that it will make you realise how cheap and dull the selection of hardware supplied was as well.
