    Hmm. This is a nice kit for learning....if you have a little bit of electronics experience already. I can't imagine if someone is a complete newbie to programming or electronics. I'm a professional programmer of 40 years, with about 4 years in an AIX (Linux, IBM style). Some of the installation instructions for libraries even confounded me. Some examples will not work if you do not install libraries; some libraries are "external source, your must...." yadda yadda, with no real explanation about the yadda's. Good luck to the newbie.
    Some of the steps for the wire hookups are minimalist, at best. Some of these, if hooked up badly, *can harm the Rasp-Pi." Can't harm you, being only 5V, but at about $100 for the Pi....not what I want to sizzle.

    Enough of the bad stuff?? Sure. This is a nice kit that covers a lot of ground, and shows how the circuits work and gives some very good experience learning. All instructions are online (which some people apparently do not like) and it is thorough for various programming languages. (I just wish more detail were given for setting up what is not simple.)

    It would a nice addition (SunFounder, if you're listening!) to have extended exercises for the builder to try. For instance, your 7 segment LED has a count up. 1) make a prog to count down; 2) make a prog to act like a clock--ie go to 59 seconds and roll over. Stuff like that.

    I'm learning from Paul Mcwhorter's online courses on Youtube. SunFounder is sponsering one of his Raspberry Pi online courses and so I bought this kit to follow along.

    The kit is overall okay. It has all the components you'd need to follow along his course, apart from a Raspberry Pi board that you'd need to buy separately. Unlike an Elegoo starter kit that I bought when following his Arduino online course, which came with an Arduino UNO R3 board within the box. But you can't expect to get a Raspberry Pi 4 at this price tag, so it's okay.

    The only downside I find in this kit is the resistors' quality - they're of a very cheap brand, compared to the ones that come in the Elegoo kit. I didn't understand why I'm struggling with the ones from the SunFouder kit and why they feel too brittle, which got broken on me a few times when bending the legs to fit inside the breadboard - which you need to adjust from project to project - until I actually got the Elegoo's kit out from storage and compared them. As you can see from the pictures, the ones that come in the Elegoo kit have much thicker legs than the ones in the SunFounder kit. I'm not sure why SunFounder had decided to go with these cheap resistors for beginners. For the price tag of this kit, I think that resistors with thicker legs should been included, which are much more durable and conveninent to use when bending and inserting them into the breadboard.

    Besides the above downside, I didn't find anything else wrong with this kit and can still recommend it - just be gentle with these resistor legs.

    Purchased thiss kit after owning several of their kits for Arduino. The Raspberry Pi has much more power, and this kit looked like the perfect way to learn that platform. For the price, it comes with an incredible collection of parts, including a camera. While the Arduino kits come with a Arduino clone, this kit will require the purchase of a Raspberry Pi, which is fine, considering the price difference between the Arduino and the Pi. All the components come packed in a very small box, considering the large number of parts included. I was interested in Python programming, and this kit does not disappoint - it comes with tutorials for Python, C, Scratch, and Java. The online tutorials are wonderful, and cover a wide range of "things" to make, including some IOT projects. So far, I've just worked through the first few tutorials - they seem similar to the ones for their Arduino kits, with the plus that the creations run on the same machine that you create them on, where as the Arduino projects require a "host" system to write the code. I have not had a chance to work with the camera module, or any of the IOT projects - it's going to be a while before I get to that! For some of the more complex projects, I recommend getting a second breadboard - room to spread things out a bit. The one board it comes with is enough, I just like to spread things out. I would also suggest getting a bigger plastic storage box with compartments, and relocate the small components over to it - the plastic box it comes in is well packed - having a bigger box will make it easier to find smaller parts and less of a chance to lose things. The parts section is second to none, more than enough to keep you busy for several months or more. While the tutorials are great, they are really just the beginning of what you can do with this kit. It begs to be modified and combined with other components to make even bigger and better things. The Pi has plenty of power for it all. Only things I might add to the kit would be a mini OLED display, and possibly a real timeclock. Overall, a great addition to their wide range of kits. It's a great kit to learn about programming, electronics, Linux (Pi), and the Internet of Things.

    A must for the absolute Raspberry Pi beginners (and some advanced users too).

    Very complete set, with all the components working as per spec (careful in handling the camera module though, as it is quite fragile). What is great is that the kit comes with access to SunFounder's website that contains all schematics, links to each component's data sheet, sample wirings along with the associated code in C, Python and Scratch. Even better, there is a YouTube playlist proposed by Paul McWhorter that includes 40+ tutorials helping absolute beginners build up their Raspberry / GPIO skills step by step, relying on the same SunFounder kit. These tutorials help to dig deeper and understand the theory and practice. The attached video is the result of one of Paul's recommended homeworks. Note: the green RAB board is from Makeronics.

    All Resistors Missing, Second-handed
    Reviewed in Japan on February 18, 2024
    I was really excited when the package arrived. But I realised that the kit was already used, with box of the kit opened already, bags inside of the box already opened with parts scattered around(resulting in them being bent). Every single one of the resistors are missing....

Every single one of the resistors are missing. Overall, really disappointed in the kit.

    Faulty/damaged components inside
    Reviewed in Singapore on May 28, 2023
    I am quite disappointed that the breadboard was falling apart; the camera module doesn't work (doesn't get detected by RPi4, whereas another camera works just fine on the same RPi4). Pins of many sensors were bent (not a deal breaker as I could straighten them out;...
    I am quite disappointed that the breadboard was falling apart; the camera module doesn't work (doesn't get detected by RPi4, whereas another camera works just fine on the same RPi4). Pins of many sensors were bent (not a deal breaker as I could straighten them out; however, worried that they may have been damaged in the process of straightening). Yet to use many of the sensors. Hopefully, they will function well.

    This kit includes a lot of components - and is probably worth the price, but I wish the description made clear that you have to buy the Raspberry Pi separately and there are no written instructions at all, everything is online. Its sort of okay, but for the older folk (like myself) I prefer to learn reading the instructions and assumed there would be something on paper (or even the ability to download and print out yourself).
