Starter Kit Tutorials
Small Components. Big First Steps.
We walk through the ZEK-28 Arduino UNO starter kit from the first USB-C upload to each sensor and output on the breadboard — including soil moisture. Every lesson is written for absolute beginners: short steps, friendly language, and a clear finish line.
One Kit.
A New Way To Learn.
Start with the USB connection and a first upload on the Arduino UNO, then bring components together on the breadboard. This course follows a practical progression from simple circuits to sensors — including soil moisture — and a water-leak alarm mini project.

1 Experiment
A Little Preparation.
A Smoother First Build.
Keep your kit nearby and give yourself space to experiment.
Your ZEK-28 Kit
Check the parts against the kit list and identify your USB-C Arduino UNO (Zepkvor™ UNO). Meet the ZEK-27 UNO board on YouTube ↗
A Computer & USB-C Data Cable
Use a compatible computer and a cable that can transfer data (not charge-only).
A Clear, Unpowered Workspace
Unplug USB before changing wires. Work with low-voltage kit parts only.
CH340 Driver Ready When Needed
This kit uses a CH340 USB-to-serial path (exact marking 待确认). E01 walks through the check.
See The Wiring.
Understand The Result.
Each lesson is planned around a parts list, clear wiring photos, explained code, expected results, and a practical checkpoint.
- Step-by-step connections
- Code with explanations
- Checks when something goes wrong
A Question Is A Good Place To Start.
Check the troubleshooting section in your lesson, or get in touch with Zepkvor. Prefer watching first? Jump to the ZEK-28 kit overview video, or open it on YouTube ↗.
