Very disappointed with this set

Firstly it is frustrating that you have to download over 200 PDFs instead of getting the actual book. Then I finally open the case, the small LCD screen looks like it's very badly scratched or possibly broken. Then I wanted to try a simple tutorial and found that the "ultimate Raspberry Pi Starter Kit" does not include a GPIO expansion board and according to the PDF it is required for each tutorial. I never saw any mention of it in their description and if I don't buy one then all their tutorials are useless. Also, some of the brochures included in the kit have links to non-existent websites. Save your money I guarantee some companies have a comparable product that really has everything you need.

Pros
  • Many will
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
