User questions & answers

Question:	How Expensive Is This
Answer:	They are not that expensive
Question:	I’m guessing that, since this is lego, there are actually no metal parts and can be taken underwater. am i correct in assuming this
Answer:	Hi there! LEGO® bricks are A-Okay in plain water. You'll want to make sure that the water doesn't contain any harsh chemicals or cleaners, though (chlorinated pools, for example). And also make sure you let your bricks air-dry - no hot dryers as the temperature can make bricks change their shape. Lastly, while this set doesn't have stickers, if you want to use a set that does have them in water, it's a good idea to leave the stickers off. Kind regards, Emily LEGO® Customer Service
Question:	Can this actually be played with under water
Answer:	Hi there! Our bricks are A-Okay underwater as long keep in mind some basic care tips. For example, make sure to have them in plain water - water that has chemicals in it (like pools) might not be good for the bricks. You'll also want to make sure the water isn't too hot, as that can make the plastic change shape. Lastly, always dry your bricks with a cloth, or let them air dry. Don't put them in driers or dry them with heat. - Emily, LEGO® Customer Service
Question:	I’m guessing that, since this is lego, there are actually no metal parts and can be taken underwater. am i correct in assuming this
Answer:	Great question! This set doesn't include any metal parts nor stickers. You can find more information on LEGO bricks in water here: LEGO.build/BricksWaterproof. - Luigi, LEGO® Customer Service

Starter kit that everyone can use to learn electronics and programming

Electronics is not as complicated as you imagine especially with Elegoo MEGA 2560 Starter Kit. For advanced users like professional lab engineers, electronic major students and experienced hobbyists compatible with Arduino projects, they can use this kit to do various kinds of tests and experiments with so many sensors available at hand.

What about novice users who don't have any electronics knowledge? Fear not amigo. Just follow our tutorial enclosed and step by step you will come to realize that learning electronics is more fun than you ever expected with this amazing sensor kit.

It’s a good choice and perfect gift for your friends, family or kids who are obsessed with electronics, programming or robotics to take their first steps on electronics journey!

The most complete starter Kit with high quality components and sensors

Quantity and quality are both important here in Elegoo MEGA 2560 starter kit. The most essential parts in this kit are MEGA 2560 controller board and expansion board, which is a perfect clone with excellent product finish Compatible with Arduino projects. Besides, we offer other over 60 kinds of components and sensors from small parts like LED diodes, resistors and potentiometer to big parts like LCD1602, RFID module and 830 tie-points breadboard, which meet your demands for your different projects either it is simple or complex.

Sturdy quality is definitely the most important thing to Elegoo even with so many components provided we never compromised on the quality. Instead we keep improving our product quality in our own factory and we produce the products by ourselves under high standards and strict quality control. Pins and wires on some of the parts like LCD16502 and motors have been pre-soldered which is very convenient and saves your time.

LCD1602 Display module

LCD1602 module is a display that has an LED backlight and can display two rows with up to 16 characters on each row. You can see the rectangles for each character on the display and the pixels that make up each character. The display is just white on blue and is intended for showing text.

Lining up the display with the top of the breadboard helps to identify its pins without too much counting, especially if the breadboard has its rows numbered with row 1 as the top row of the board. Do not forget, the long yellow lead that links the slider of the pot to pin 3 of the display. The 'pot' is used to control the contrast of the display.

DC Motors and L293D Transistor

In this project you will learn how to control a small DC motor using a Mega2560 board and a L293D transistor, which is a very useful chip. It can actually control two motors independently. We are just using half the chip in this lesson, most of the pins on the right hand side of the chip are for controlling a second motor.

L293D is quadruple high-current half-H drivers and designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 1 A at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V. The L293D is also designed to provide bidirectional drive currents of up to 600-mA at voltages from 4.5 V to 36 V and drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, dc and bipolar stepping motors, as well as other high-current/high-voltage loads in positive-supply applications.

74HC595 Shift Register and LEDs

74HC595 is a Serial to Parallel Converter which has eight outputs (perfect) and three inputs that you use to feed data into it a bit at a time.

This chip makes it a little slower to drive the LEDs (you can only change the LEDs about 500,000 times a second instead of 8,000,000 a second) but it's still really fast, way faster than humans can detect, so it's worth it!

74HC595 shift register is a type of chip that holds what can be thought of as eight memory locations, each of which can either be a 1 or a 0. To set each of these values on or off, we feed in the data using the 'Data' and 'Clock' pins of the chip.

Answer:	It wobbles along and that's it...simple first robot design.....great for the beginner robot builder
Question:	What is my purpose
Answer:	Its super fun my 10 year old kid absolutely loved it
Question:	Would this project be good for a 7-year-old girl
Answer:	My kids were 10 and 8, but I think a 7 year old could with some adult help.
Question:	Does this have to be a tin can? Most soda cans are aluminum
Answer:	The name "Tin Can" was used for marketing purposes. Aluminum is difficult for kids to pronounce, and the word is pronounced very differently overseas, most imitating the British; a-loo-min-ee-um. The actual material is unimportant. I suppose the steel cans often used in Japan would be fine as well, perhaps even better. (Steel is subsidized in Japan and so is cheaper than aluminium)

Redesigned interfaces to meet demands of different users

In the version of robot car kit V1.0, we used the original expansion board which has many pins available on the board and enables you to add extra sensors than what we provide in the kit as to fulfill more functions and makes it more personalized. But it will require a certain level of electronics knowledge and DIY experiences otherwise you may easily burn your sensors and boards. To avoid those potential errors from novice user we redesigned the expansion board and cables by adding XH2.54 interfaces in robot car kit V3.0, which makes wiring become very handy and easy and almost impossible to make mistakes when installing sensors. We also reserved the pins on the board so DIY lovers can customize it and have more possibilities. With that being said it really depends on your situation and background that which kit suits you more. Either way, we have a perfect solution for you.

Question:	does this only come in one color I need 5 of them
Answer:	Well on ours only one wheel worked so we had to return it, so it is possible that you got a bad product.
Question:	Does it come with tools to bulid it
Answer:	no. You can setup the remotes to function on up to 8 channels, controlling 8 different devices separately. You set the controller itself to the specific channel (1-8), turn on the machine, and hit F4 on the remote to syn them. If you want to build one vehicle out of 2 or more packs/sets of motors, you can turn them both on, then hit F4 on the controller to syn them both to the same controller. Then one machine will have 4 wheel drive.
Question:	How big is the finished hedgehog
Answer:	No

My Robotic Pet - Tumbling Hedgehog

With the 172 building pieces in this kit, you can assemble a real robot that looks like a cute hedgehog. This unique pet has a built-in sound sensor and is programmed to react to your claps. Clap once, and your hedgehog curls up into a ball and rolls over one time. Clap multiple times, and it will roll again and again, tumbling once for each clap! Watch how different patterns of claps instruct your hedgehog to do different tricks--make it bristle its spines, scurry around, spin, and more!

Your Robotic Hedgehog

Before you can start playing and experimenting with your unique little pet, you have to build it! The kit comes with 172 building pieces to assemble your robotic hedgehog and includes a sound sensor which is located on the circuit board in your pet's head. It's this sensor that enables your hedgehog to move according to your clap commands. Like a real hedgehog, your robotic pet can run and curl up into a ball. Fortunately, though, the sound sensor enables it to listen to and follow your orders rather than immediately curling up when it feels threatened (like a real hedgehog would do). By building your hedgehog from start to finish and getting a good look at all of its components, you will gain experience in the inner mechanical workings that enable the robot to move the way it does. In addition to a crash course in sound sensors, you'll also learn about gears, motors, and LEDs (your hedgehog's eyes light up!).

The Manual

The full-color, 40-page illustrated manual provides highly detailed step-by-step instructions for building your robotic hedgehog as well as troubleshooting tips and explanations to get your pet working and moving smoothly. But the manual isn't just a set of assembly steps--it also includes some interesting scientific information and fun facts about hedgehogs and bionic robots.

Nuna, the Tumbling Hedgehog!

That's right! Your hedgehog has its very own comic! Embark on an exciting archaeological exploration with a bonus illustrated story that follows Tom and Izzy, two inquisitive young scientists, as they build Nuna the Tumbling Hedgehog while on an excursion to the Temple of the Gaaa!

Mode 1: Roll backward and sleep

Your hedgehog is in Mode 1 when its eyes are glowing orange and green. In this mode, your hedgehog can accept the following commands:

• Clap once: Your hedgehog will roll backward
• Clap twice: Your hedgehog will roll backward and then stay curled up and fall asleep
• Clap three times: Your hedgehog will wake up and unroll itself, ready to play!

Mode 2: Multiple backward rolls

Your hedgehog is in Mode 2 when its eyes are glowing green. In this mode, your hedgehog will roll up to five times in a row, depending on how many times you clap. Clap once, it'll tumble once; clap twice, it'll tumble twice; all the way up to five times!

Mode 3: Applauding for a backward roll

Your hedgehog is in Mode 3 when its eyes are glowing orange. In this mode, your hedgehog wants encouragement to put on a show! Keep clapping to cheer your pet on as it completes a roll. Don't stop clapping before the trick is complete! Otherwise it'll just stretch out and start walking, and the show will be over before it begins!
