Review on πŸ“Ÿ OSOYOO Arduino Compatible Controller Board with USB Cable for UNO R3, featuring Sample Projects and Arduino IDE Programming by Jeff Addison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As of 9/19/2015 the website and kit are top notch!

This is a quality set at a minimal price. All projects are well documented! Osoyoo website is the best I've seen! Very well organized and all information gathered in one place. There were a few typos, and the display test sketch won't load until the screen's power line is disconnected. Since the screen draws less than 25mA, I connected the power cable to pin D8 and added two lines of code to turn on the display after the program started. PinMode(8, EXIT); digital input (8, HIGH); Just put these two lines in front of the line that initializes the display screen. The price has risen sharply in the last few weeks. I bought my kit for less than $18 and now the same kit is over $28 which is still a great value. If you have children older than 5th grade, you must purchase one of these sets for them. Be sure to work with them on each of their many projects so you can learn and enjoy this great introduction to microcontroller programming!

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • This makes me angry
