Thinking about building your first smart device? Maybe a WiFi temperature monitor, a small obstacle detection robot, or a compact dashboard with an OLED display? The ESP32 Starter Kit is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to step into the world of IoT and connected electronics.
I regularly receive messages from people who want to experiment with microcontrollers but feel overwhelmed by all the options. This Basic Starter Kit for ESP32 (ESP-32S WiFi Development Board) keeps things simple: everything you need to start learning and building is included in one box.

What’s inside the kit?
You get the ESP32 development board with built-in WiFi, jumper wires, resistors, a push button, an obstacle avoidance sensor, an OLED display, and additional useful modules. The components are packed in a storage box. With more than 3,000 units sold and a 4.7/5 rating based on 266 reviews, buyers consistently mention that the kit arrives complete and functional. Comments such as “works perfectly,” “well packed,” and “fun to use” appear frequently.
One customer even reported building three separate projects with it already. Another described it as a “Super DEV Set for entering the ESP world.” That kind of feedback is especially reassuring if you’re just starting out.
How much does it cost?
At the moment, the price is €15.89 including VAT (66% off the original €48.01). If you buy two or more units, the price drops to €14.99 per piece. The price shown via https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3tow0KR already includes VAT.
Very important: there are no extra customs or administrative fees afterward. In the past, ordering from outside the EU could sometimes result in unexpected import charges. Nowadays, AliExpress handles VAT in advance, so what you see is what you pay. No unpleasant surprises when the parcel arrives.
Why not buy from unknown webshops?
You will often find this exact same kit on unfamiliar websites for €35 to €60. Many of those are dropshipping stores selling the identical product at a much higher price. Returns are usually not free there, and customer support can be difficult to reach.
On AliExpress, returns are usually free in most cases. My clear advice: never pay more than the price listed on https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3tow0KR.
Who is this kit suitable for?
– Beginners learning Arduino IDE
– Engineering or IT students
– Hobbyists exploring IoT projects
– Makers who want to build WiFi-enabled devices
The ESP32 is significantly more powerful than the classic Arduino Uno and already includes WiFi functionality. That means you can create cloud-connected systems, dashboards, web interfaces, and smart home applications.
