  2. Hello @GeekDetour love this video, have been looking at getting into Arduino fun recently. I noticed your gripe about the resistors being a different color. Most people don’t know this, but the color blue like that is used universally to assist people like myself who are severely red-green color blind. The traditional resistor design and color, makes it so I cannot tell the colors of each resistor, making it so that I have always had to measure the resistors before using them. Knowing that Elegoo sells these in this design now, really makes me excited!! Just because of this simple fact, I will now begin purchasing Elegoo Resistors! Thank you again for this content, it has been VERY useful and helpful in my starting to learn about Arduinos!

  3. Great video – So… The Elegoo is exactly the same as Arduino? In the sense that programs written for Arduino can be executed on the Elegoo board?
