Review on WayinTop Electronics Component Fun Kit: The Ultimate Starter Kit with Breadboard, Jumper Wires, Soldering Kit, LEDs, and Resistors for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and ESP8266 – Upgraded version with E-Book by Kevin Woods

Revainrating 2 out of 5

If you don't have an Arduino board, this isn't for you. it comes with no direction. NO

Please email the company for instructions. The packaging is ridiculous. Let's talk about stuffing 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. Not to mention that upon opening the box, the set fell off my coffee table onto the shaggy carpet and the plastic case shattered like I'd dropped a Christmas decoration onto a concrete floor. It was a bloody mess. I had to go and buy a small box of parts from a hardware store. So add another $7 to the set right here. This is all aimed at teaching Arduino, but it doesn't come with an Arduino board, and the Revain ad doesn't really tell you there isn't an Arduino board. . Maybe that tells you, but I don't have 3 hours to research the electronics learning tool. I personally didn't realize that anything without an Arduino board was useless until I placed an order and finally received the PDF. It also requires a fancy USB cable for power. I'm sure there is a reason for this, but they don't offer a cable or any adapters, so look for a fancy cable that you have to BUY or install yourself (which I did with 2 old phones). Charger). I had to cut 2 cables from phone chargers and connect them together. Sorry Wayin Top, I cannot recommend your product. Not to mention the package was lost in the post. I finally received it about 2 weeks after the originally promised delivery date. Purchase a kit that includes an Arduino board and instructions. It was nothing but one delay after another. I had to wait: waiting for shipping. Wait for the email in PDF format with instructions (it's damn funny). Find an unusual power cord or make your own. Wait for it to come when you buy it. Find the Arduino board. Pay and wait for the Arduino board. Who knows what else I'll have to look for and wait for. 100% disappointed. It was a birthday present for my son. he is interested in radio control, robotics and drone technology. The package missed its birthday and it wouldn't have mattered anyway because we didn't have the power adapter or the instructions when it finally arrived.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Expandable
