Review on REXQualis Raspberry Pi Starter Kit for Pi 4 B 3 B+ – Includes Detailed Tutorials, Python C Support, Learn Electronics and Programming for Raspberry Pi Beginners by Jonah Riggle

This is a great kit for those looking to get into electronics with their Raspberry Pi. Someone totally new to electronics and programming will likely need a bit of work, so be motivated to google if you're confused/baffled. Perspectively, this review is from someone who has electronics and programming experience but has never used a Raspberry Pi before. the Pi itself, a USB power cable for it (Micro or USB-C, depending on the model), a micro SD card for the Pi, and a micro HDMI cable (unless you plan on just using the desktop remotely -Transfer access to the Pi, which works pretty well). Any interaction with pi electronic components requires several items in the kit, most notably the breadboard, GPIO board and GPIO ribbon cable. This allows you to securely connect all of the Pi's input/output pins to the breadboard and label them clearly so you can send and receive signals as well as all the various components included. The components seem to be put together quite thoughtfully, it's not just random electronics thrown in a box. You have lots of cables for almost anything you do with the Pi, and many of the components are non-standard components that a hobbyist might have lying around, like the LCD module, raindrop module, and ultrasonic sensor. The included instructions and code are actually pretty good. There are plenty of guides out there on the web for just about anything you want to do with your Raspberry Pi, but it's nice to have them written for the specific parts and setup you have. There are around 30 tutorial PDFs for each of the main components included, from simply turning an LED on and off to more advanced parts like drive motors. Each of these will help you create the schematic for your component and give you an overview of the basic functions. Each tutorial contains both C and Python code that will run a simple demo once you wire up the circuit. It was really nice for me to have this code as a starting point as I could then quickly adapt it to do something I was interested in without having to look up what modules I needed to import or how that particular component worked with the GPIO interacted. : The storage box is a little thin and small. Everything is pretty tightly packed and you'll probably have a hard time putting it all back together. However, some of the larger components, like the wide circuit board and ribbon cable, you'll likely have indefinitely, in which case there's no room. less problems. It has a lot of compartments and baffles, I just think that leaving it on the floor and stepping on it invariably will likely crack. The tutorials are really better than I expected. However, there are typos in this and the code from time to time (all code works correctly, mostly just a few mislabeled variables) that can momentarily confuse someone who doesn't know such things. I would like the tutorials to give some ideas or what else can be done with the component. They'll walk you through the initial setup, but that's basically it. I also think the code could be a little more suitable for experimentation/customization for new users - even simple things like setting more variables as parameters to a function instead of being built into the code. Not a problem for those with project ideas of their own and some experience, but other people might be a little disappointed. Conclusion: Overall, this set is a lot of fun and pretty good value for money. You could probably assemble all the components yourself for a little less, but not really by much. Many of these parts are worth a few bucks, at least if you're not buying in bulk. There's enough included to complete all kinds of simple projects and get you started on something more complex. I did most of the lessons and had a lot of fun. I'll probably be buying a few extra motors soon and building a brachiograph and a plant/irrigation meter before sending the Raspberry Pi off to quiet life as a home media server. If I skip the messing around, I'll probably get a second, cheaper Pi model to use all the time.
