Review on 🔌 UCTRONICS GPIO Breakout Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico - Assembled Pi T-Type Breakout + 830 Tie Points Solderless Breadboard + 40 Pin Male-Female-Male Rainbow Ribbon Cable + 65pcs Premium Jump Wires by Steven Thelin

First the cons. (-) The multicolored cable makes no sense and serves no purpose other than to increase costs. (-) The breadboard is segmented and has two sets of power rails. The ad shows it, but I missed it. That means if you want the power rails to be next to each other you have to connect them with a jumper. More inconvenience than anything, but it will cost you 8 pin positions. (See my attached photo where I added the red and black jumper wires) Pros (+) The breakout board is narrower than most breakout GPIOs, therefore giving you access to three rows of pins on each side. (Blue card in my photos) Competing products like the Kuman card (red card in my photos) are too wide and sacrifice one row of contact access by blocking two rows. (+) The board has separate power connectors that connect directly to the power rails. This is a HUGE benefit as it eliminates the need to connect power jumpers directly to the already overflowing GPIO power and ground and greatly simplifies wiring. (+) The board has an LED power indicator "HUGE!" A benefit as it gives you extra assurance that the ribbon cable is properly connected and the breadboard rails are powered. It's worth buying this product for that alone. I can't tell you how many times when replacing breadboards I've accidentally connected the ribbon cable backwards. This fixes it. Note. Most breakout boards use the Koeman method (red board in my photo) and make the board too wide and require you to sacrifice a row of pins. There are others that have power pins, like on this board, but I don't think they have a power LED. There's only one thing I'd like that was made by only one manufacturer I've ever seen. A jumper can be used to select whether the power outputs are 3 VDC or 5 VDC. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of this product was based in England and went bankrupt.
