Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced Pi T-Cobbler Plus - Assembled GPIO Breakout Board for Adafruit 2028 by Kory Shelton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pencil shaft

Not crazy, won't send it back and won't charge for it. I'm not actually going to splice stars from Adafruit for this as I already had a cable, but Adafruit you should consider modifying your packaging of this and possibly other electronic devices with pins. Wrapping the ribbon cable around the cobbler resulted in the very sharp pins of the cobbler piercing the center of the ribbon cable, leaving some of the pins in a potentially fracturing state. See the attached images for examples. Keep in mind that while this only shows 2 that went completely through, there were about 3-4 on each side that caused skin damage. Sentence: Add foam padding. This may cost a few cents more but still protects the pins and protects the ribbon cable from pins. Don't take it to heart!

Pros
  • Single board computer
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
