Review on πŸ”΄ Gikfun Arduino DIY Timer Practice Board Kit with 61 Red LED for Electronic Soldering - EK1904 by Ayush Bonuccelli

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good quality, be careful with delivery.

I enjoyed building this project, it was very well thought out compared to previous soldering projects. Unfortunately, the shipping method was to drop it off in a padded envelope in a bag with a different chipset. Upon arrival, most of the pins were bent on various components and were sticking out in the bag. I figured everything would probably still work decently, so I built the project anyway. Apparently something happened during shipping, I've checked all sorts of values and it still doesn't work properly unless I press on the circuit board itself. I'm only giving three stars at this time as I can't fully test the product. And this is the third unpackaged project I've received from them. If they can solve packaging problems by throwing everything in a small box, or just improve shipping. Then I will give a better rating.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Can be damaged
