Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The only minor issues are that the cutouts where raspberry pi power and hdmi plug in aren’t cut away enough for cords with large molded plastic ends. It makes a serious difference in projects working better and not having low voltage readouts, when th...  Read More

The raspberry pi pico is a very capable controller out-of-the-box. The pico w is the wireless version of the pico, so wireless is available to make these connected projects. Great for learning basic electronics / python.

The pico kit has everything required to learn and do programming with raspberrypi pico. The c++ tutorials use arduino ide if you don't want to use python.

Included breadboard means you don't really need to solder at all to run through the projects they provide with the kit. Provided the components to breadboard the fairly straightforward tutorials provided (download) with grandchildren. Also, the tutori...  Read More

Quality


The parts in this kit are all high quality and there are tons of fun things in here, you can hardly fit it back in and close the case!


The breadboard is good quality, i did not have any problems with loose connections.


A kit like this is too complicated to simply hand off to a child and expect them to learn, they will get stuck and frustrated a...  Read More


Right off the bat though, i can definitely say that this kit includes a ridiculous amount of complementary components to use an...  Read More

Price


The price was great and even have free online tutorials.


Overall, for the price, this is a great kit and will keep any tinkerer busy for days, if not weeks!


But when i started to look into different components that would make experimentation/learning more interesting i was: 1) dismay...  Read More


And that (whether for your or for your little ones) is well-worth the price of admission.

Shipping


Getting the replacement took a bit of time, came from china, but communication was great and i got a working raspberry pico.


After contacting them they were very quick provide support to diagnose the problem and sent out replacement parts very quickly!


The pico does come pre-soldered to make it quicker to get started.

Packaging/appearance


There are also tutorials on how to get started with a little look up but for such a small box, this really has a lot of things ...  Read More


The criticism here is simply that the manual linked on the kit's box (my first review was discarded for providing links to the ...  Read More


I got this to encourage my kids to build things, but i may end up keeping it and having to buy another because i really like th...  Read More


The kit is packed with sensors, resistors, capacitors, buttons, switches, breadboard, jumpers, leds, and a lot of components i ...  Read More

Competitiveness


The pico is also a neat board to use because it is extremely affordable if you want to scale your projects up, you can buy more...  Read More


Quick note: the pico is an arm cortex-based chip, which is a bit different than other raspberry pis (just in case you need to k...  Read More


I also included a picture of the picow next to a red arduino nano, for size comparison, while running one of the led blink tutorial.


I bought it because it offers a lot of different kinds of sensors and a lot of matching projects, so i don't need to buy them s...  Read More
