This product comes with a variety of electronic components for you to play with. The tutorial gives a good overview of each component before explaining how to use them. The tutorial also shows you how to program a microbit using both Python and block code. I had a problem with the GPIO expansion card. For some unknown reason, smoke was coming out of one of the resistors on the board. I emailed the company about this and they said they would send me a new board for free. That's excellent…

Product as described

I liked that it had everything you need to get started straight away. I happily followed a little brochure to test the Microbit with its pre-configured program, just by plugging it into the power supply. I did this by connecting it to my laptop, but I could also use a 9 volt battery (not included) with one of the accessories that came with it. and grammatical errors. This did not prevent me from taking several classes, some of which were taken by my 8 and 10 year old boys. One of the reasons I…

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…

Pros
  • Many will
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
