Freenove Projects Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ 400 Zero 2 W, Simple Wiring, 860-Page Detailed Tutorial, Python C Java Scratch Processing Code, 132 Projects (Raspberry Pi NOT Included)

This is a great addition to a Raspberry Pi. I am a software engineer and this is a great way to continue learning programming.

I purchased this kit to learn about interfacing hardware with raspberry pi. The kit is well made and I liked the fact that there was minimal rewiring necessary to run the different tutorial circuits. I found the tutorial documentation to be very good. It covered a wide variety of circuits, and included detailed descriptions of both the circuits and the scripts to run them. The scripts were supplied in both C and python.I found it especially valuable that the tutorial descriptions contained a little background information on how the components work and a detailed schematic. Since most of the components are attached to the main board, having the schematic was very helpful in understanding how the circuits worked.I highly recommend this kit.

I just unboxed Freenove's Project Kits and am very impressed with the quality and packaging of their all-in-one solution. I've tried project kits from other vendors but the continuous wiring/jumper cable assembly/disassembly was so time consuming and error-prone that my teenager would get frustrated and give up. Now with just a jumper from your Raspberry Pi (sold separately) you get access to almost every IoT/Sensor experiment combination possible without the time and hassle of re-wiring. There are small jumper cables from the board to some external sensors, but everything is labeled clearly. I've previously purchased the Robot dog kit from Freenove and was impressed with the quality, packaging and extensive documentation and responsive support. I'm looking forward to hacking a few weekend projects with my son and will update my review if anything changes. But for a Raspberry Pi Projects kit, this is the best I've found so far.

I liked the ease of use. Most items are prewired on the board. The additional items have easy to use plugs. No more extra wires. All theory and code are fully explained in the tutorial. Overall, the sensors and actuators used match the ones in the Ultimate Starter Kit.I thought the bolts and nuts used to attach the backboard and Rasberry Pi are very small. I am 69 years and they are hard to handle. The prewired board has one main drawback. You don't learn about use of a breadboard which is a big part of prototyping.

This is a great kit to get started with your Pi, and the many sensors you can connect to it. It is fantastic to do a lesson without building a "rats nest" of wires, then tearing it down to start with a different sensor. The tutorial code is very helpful, with an overview of the lesson, and extra insight into the main sensor component being used. Now I will say I had a problem with the provided circuit board. (once in a while it happens). I emailed my issue to the Freenove support team. However, I was not sure what expect. Well, they were %100 responsive, and shipped me a new board. And the kicker...... they sent it First Class! With that kind of customer support, I will be purchasing either their Arduino, or ESP32 kits when I am done with this Pi kit. Good job Freenove. I'm sold.

Well organized board for learning to program and learning about it

High quality and clever combination of parts.

the library of code you have to use for projects has not ben updated in over two years and for GPIO it relies on wiringpi (an app that was shut down in 2019 and wont work with any kernel above 4.6) therefore the code wont/cant run.... cant use the board unless you build your own code.... 600 pages of uselessnessalso a minor side point, the screws that hold the top to the bottom are black plastic, not metal like pictured.
