Review on Freenove Ultimate Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi: 561-Page Tutorials, Python C Java Scratch Coding, 223 Items, 72 Projects, Solderless Breadboard by Douglas Holla

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Broken key component. Low quality.

I'm a total novice when it comes to Raspberry Pi and circuits, but know a little about Python programming. The first project in the tutorial is a blinking LED. After trying to get it to work and failing, I started searching and troubleshooting online and finally found out that the 40-pin GPIO cable wasn't working (I ran wires from the end of the cable to the breadboard and it didn't work , but when I ran the wires from the RPI straight to the breadboard everything worked After several projects one of the LEDs in the LED Bar Graph component is faulty Give it two stars because the faulty cable taught me to connect the pins directly between the breadboard and to connect the pins in the Raspberry Pi. Therefore, this kit had an unintended educational value. charm. Provides a schematic, as well as C code and Python code to run the project.ear that English is not the native language of whoever wrote the tutorial, but it's good enough to understand what they mean UPDATE: Freenove contacted me with a very thoughtful message after I m saw a review. They refunded the cost of a new Adafruit tape and cobbler and told me they would ship a replacement if I contacted them. I think the most important thing is that in the future they promised to check the quality of the tapes before shipping. For these reasons I am increasing my rating from 2 to 3 stars.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • There are errors
