Review on Yahboom Professional Programming Electronic Compatible by Tim Knain

The kit is not for beginners, lots of inputs/outputs, quality parts. Great if you want to try robotics RPi

I've researched various kits for a long time and I think this kit offers the best value for money. It features a control board that supports multiple servos, four motors (this "tank" only uses two), and various analog and digital inputs. The assembly instructions are technically correct, but it requires a lot of attention to ensure you assemble it correctly. In particular, you need to understand the size specifications of bolts and nuts and double or even better triple check before using. The parts are intelligently grouped with the machine part, so don't try to open everything at once. I find mounting the track to the wheels the most difficult part of the build. I didn't use the software that came with it - there is a link to Google Drive which has a lot of documentation and software. Knowing RaspberryPi and Python fairly well, I write my own software and just use it as a reference to figure out the right port and PIN. All in all, this is a great fun set that will keep you entertained for weeks. But this is definitely not a kit for a beginner. I will update this with additional videos and instructions when I start using "Tank".

Pros
  • Quick Swap
Cons
  • Almost never
