lighting project - all the gear no idea!

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Hi everyone,
I'm a complete beginner when it comes to micro controllers, electronics etc but I'm happy with coding.
my first project with my arduino uno is to control a strip of LED lights that I got on ebay:
cheap 12v led strip
which is the first part of a home automation network I want to build. I'm off work for awhile due to illness so have a LOT of time on my hands!

I purchased this relay board, mostly so I can expand in the future:

a box full of wires, resistors, breadboards and things from amazon:

and finally this (Not using the stepper motor at the moment but thought the driver board would come in handy)

Stepper motor and driver board

so, I've got what I think should be a good base for the project but after unpacking it all and looking at it, I've no idea of how to put it all together!

Does anyone know of any tutorials I could follow or guides to use that would help me piece the puzzle together please?

Many thanks
Paul

You do realize you linked to a Rasberry Pi starter kit and this is the Arduino forum?

If you are using an Arduino here is a tutorial from Adafruit to get you started.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I was just heading here to update this thread!
The only reason I mentioned the Pi Starter kit is because of its cables, resistors, LED's etc.
Cheers for the link, I found this one on instructables which looks fairly straight forward:
