Looking to get into Arduino for the first time. Have already searched about this topic, looking to seek some additional input, as you all seem to know what you are talking about. For reference the Elegoo clone is around half the price of the official pack. There is a Elegoo clone of the Mega board (as opposed to the Uno) which is almost as expensive as the official Uno one. Or would I be better off buying parts individually? I apologise for knowing nothing about electronics.

    Unless you really need the money or the extra boards, I would purchase directly from Arduino to support their open source development

      I would love to, can’t even afford the product yet, will probably do so further down the line, if I get into the hobby properly.
