Freenove Ultimate Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico (Included), Dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ Microcontroller, 767-Page Detailed Tutorial, 222 Items, 119 Projects, Python C Java Code

I have been interested in electronics as a hobby for many years, but have never had the time or patience to get started.When I saw this kit I decided to take the plunge as it was both relatively inexpensive, and contained some basic but interesting projects.Is it truly for beginners? Yes, but read the manual before you start, or like me, you’ll potentially overlook a key difference between the Pico & Pico W that will catch you out. Technical support pointed out my stupidity, in a nice way :)The documentation is extremely useful, but I would suggest also looking for some online video tutorials, there are hundreds out there, and it’s relatively easy to find one for each of the included projects.All in all this is a fun little kit, that will inspire you to try to take each project further.

This product comes with a ton of little extras and works with both the Pico and Pico W. Support is very responsive as well. Thanks Shaynee!

Price is great. I am a beginner, so you know.. I haven't tested anything yet. Visual inspection, you know... the price point is great.. box came a little damaged, who cares. Most of the components came in baggies, nice. Some of the components are dirty with fingerprints and stuff, like on the wifi shiny on the pico. I was super excited about the breadboard power supply, but as you can see, the 5v deal doesn't look soldered properly. It seems to be in good contact, it won't budge, but I haven't powered anything up. The documentation is minimal and I'm not sure If those stickers are weird... the numbers don't make sense. But, I was able to find the downloads and everything very easily and the documents are kind of confusing there too, but after a while of poking around I figured it out. All in all, it's pretty cool I hope all the stuff works, cuz I don't care if it looks weird as long as it works.

Good collection of parts to get started with the pi pico

Oh my goodness- I love this set! I am learning coding (python) and this is just such a fun way to do it. It comes with everything you need (just download some software then you can plug & play in your computer), and you download the codes & instructions from the included links. After you pick a project and set everything up on the breadboard (fairly straightforward instructions and schematics) you copy/paste the code and voila! It just works! Then the fun part is tinkering with the code, modifying things so that it behaves just a little bit differently. I do this with my son (10 years old) and we've been able to make a few really simple games with the LED lights & buzzers, program it to print out silly things to the little LCD screen, make an alarm from the motion sensor etc. It's pretty neat- would definitely recommend.

This is my third starter kit from Freenove and I have to say they produce quality products and very thorough tutorials. Keep in mind they sell two different starter kits for the raspberry pi pico. One that comes with the pico and a less expensive kit that doesn’t. I really enjoy the LED tutorials, specifically the Neo pixel ring and the LED bar flowing light. I also like the accelerometer and RFID chapters. The tutorial steps you through everything you need to know from start to finish with detailed instructions, numerous pictures and code walk-through explanations. You really don’t need any prior knowledge to enjoy the electrical engineering hardware and computer science software. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 years old or 110 years old, these starter kits are perfect for all ages. Thank you Freenove! I can’t wait to see what you come out with next.

The amount of stuff you get in thus kit is crazy. So many great parts and easy to follow instructions on how to get them all to work. The only downside is don't try to use their own program. Use thorny or the arduino IDE.

The right item and on time

I was looking for a hobby and this kit totally exceeded my expectations.It is ideal for people with different electronics knowledge levels. You can choose to use the easy to follow graphs and quickly assemble each project and see how it works, or you can read through the project and learn about how each component works and what each line of code means. Plus everything works.At the beginning I thought that the price was a bit high, but my opinion quickly changed as I went through all the software, pdfs, etc... The amount of work that went into making this kit makes it a great deal!

Ottimo prodotto qualità prezzo eccellente

Iam surprised of the high quality of products to this cheap price. Well over my expectations. The included pdf is detailed with clear pictures

Whether you are a beginner, seasoned professional or just have a passing interest in electronics and control circuits, this Freenove kit will give you days of fun and tinkering.The documentation takes you through a comprehensive list of experiments, with clear and concise instructions throughout. It starts off with basic concepts as you'd expect and then quickly takes you through more complex theory with some fun circuits along the way. You will frequently design one circuit and then reprogram the controller to do something completely different to show you how versatile the little Pico really is.There are 44 experiments in total available as a PDF download, programmable in C or MicroPython, with source code and libraries provided for each of them. Then there are a HUGE number of components neatly packed in a lockable box. The hardest part is trying to get it all to fit back in the box afterwards!This is one of the most comprehensive and well documented electronics kits I have ever encountered. Don't let the low price point fool you, this really is a great kit to play around with.Fun for all ages, probably 9+

Kit complet accompagné d’excellents tutoriels en python, java et C/C++. L’écran LCD comportait un défaut; un simple échange par mail avec le support puis nous recevons un écran de rechange 8 jours plus tard. Le support client est très réactif et très aimable. Depuis, mon fils et moi avons réussi à réparer l’écran défectueux (composants mal soudés). Je recommande Freenove !
