Review on πŸ”Œ UCTRONICS GPIO Breakout Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico - Assembled Pi T-Type Breakout + 830 Tie Points Solderless Breadboard + 40 Pin Male-Female-Male Rainbow Ribbon Cable + 65pcs Premium Jump Wires by Gilbert Pfaff

Revainrating 4 out of 5

GPIO extension - good but with limitations

I like the extra connector on the ribbon cable. This allows me to connect the LCD to the ribbon cable since it is already connected to the box. The PCB print is legible, although narrower than the other extension I have. The holes on the breadboard appear to be a little loose, but have not caused any problems so far. Pushing the expansion board's pins into the breadboard caused some of the metal strips on the underside to pop out. Putting them back in was easy enough. The jumper wires look well constructed and so far the pins on each end have not separated from the wire. One limitation I've found with the expansion board is that if you install it where the print on the board matches the print direction on the breadboard, the positive and ground rails on the sides of the breadboard are reversed.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Reliable
