Review on JetBot 2GB AI Kit Accessories Computer Components by Paul Williams

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Buyer beware

As it is clearly stated, batteries are not included with this robot. Lithium-ion batteries are required for this, which must be ordered separately. They are also not usually available locally and need to be delivered but sent to the floor, so order them at the same time as the robot. The included Wi-Fi dongle (based on rtl8811cu) is NOT supported by the JetBot image, so it takes hours to build the drivers. to try and make it work. Additionally, the comfy CF-811AC that came with mine broke the minute I tried to put it in. There is no documentation available to make it work. The same with the gamepad. There is no documentation to help set up Jetbot. The Waveshare wiki references different hardware versions and, as mentioned, doesn't have many specific kit guides.

Pros
  • desktop barebones
