Review on πŸ“š Complete Raspberry Pi Pico Basic Starter Kit with Online Tutorials, Electronics Learning & Programming for Beginners (Pico Not Included) by Jonathan Brendemuehl

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for those new to electronics and Python

Love this set. I had so much fun with him. The largest set with the book was the right choice. It's better written than most product guides and has great getting started examples with code examples. If you are new to electronics or programming, this book will help you a lot. The only minor issues are that the cutouts where the Raspberry Pi's power supply and HDMI connector plug in aren't cut out enough for cables with large molded plastic ends. There should be less plastic here. Next comes the SD card. When installed it lands under the Pi and there isn't enough room to remove it and swap boards without loosening the screws or disassembling the Pi. Finally, there are 4 pins on the side of the pi wedge. They stick out and rub against the ribbon cable connector when in use. These are minor issues and have not stopped me from using the product. I will make adjustments to my kit. I really like this kit and have already used it for LED output, button input and connecting to IFTTT to allow my buttons to connect to web products for real events.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
