Review on Waveshare Raspberry Pico Basic Kit by Shedrick Roach

Revainrating 4 out of 5

a rant Computer Components

Hey, I didn't realize that until I actually started tackling my first project with the stuff in this kit. I cut the zip ties fairly quickly as I had very few wires before these arrived. and I started installing things on and/or around my computer desk. Trying to follow my pet peeve in various OCD-like projects with jumper color coding, I can tell at a glance what the wire is, and I can assure you that that red and black will/will/is power and ground. a couple of "loose" wires I just mentioned, I mentioned they are connected to a lightning bolt.? Well, most of the shorter 4-inch models were yellow. actually more than half. it may be. 20 or 30 or whatever is shorter I still watch a bunch. it is strange. remarkable. Not worth a refund, it's just that I can't break the long-lost tradition of color matching, but can also match your color matching so you're no more confused than you probably already are. Well I forced myself to do this a long time ago, it can be bloody tiring when there's more yellow than anything haha. I just need to be SURE I got all the wiring right. However, how strange. yellow.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
