well worth the money
Overall, a very good kit. It has enough to keep the interests of beginners and more advanced users. The only issue that I can find is that the power supply included(5v 500mA) is nowhere near what is needed for an RPI.

Smart Air Freshener Magic
To begin with, I applaud the selection of the components chosen on this kit. It is not the most complete I guess but there are a lot of options to play around with for both beginner's and advance users alike. It has components like PIR, tilt, smoke, temp, vibration sensors, some modules GPIO board and more others to mention. It is secured in a hard casing with zipper and even a plastic box for small components to protect it from factors like accidental drop, heat and others. Package wise was neat and organize. It is compatible with most Pasp Pi and Arduino IDE projects. The one thing I notice is it doesn't have a manual turorial or a CD disk in the package, so it should be used by either advanced user or mid user like me, unless if you have some reference books or projects that you could use a manual (these can be easily be find in Arduino and Rasp Pi websites and community or even google and GitHub).Now the fun part, the thing I really want to share actually that excites me most is my very first project using this kit. I make an ordinary air freshener into a smart one. I use ordinary Airwick freshener, esp 8266 for wifi and coding, PIR sensor, USB cable / port, LED indicator and some wires. The result, I can now control it with amazon alexa, I was also able to integrate it to ST as well. With the use of PIR sensor, it would only trigger to certain interval when it senses motion. Ending, it only spray when people is around or when you trigger it by voice or phone. So no more wasted scent from now on.

All in one kit has everything you need!
This all in one kit really does include everything you will need to get started with the raspberry Pi! There are 2 versions either with or without the Raspberry Pi in case you already got the Pi which I already had. The case is nice and unlike others it has circular slots for the fan instead of just a big hole. That way if your not using the fan you aren't left with the hole. Incidentally, the fan can be mounted to the outside of the case which if you are using the heat sinks, you can't mount the fan on the inside because the head room is less. Typically you do not need to use the fan unless you are overclocking the Pi. If they had a sheet that told you which pins to hook the fan that would be nice but i just googled it and got the answer in 2 seconds. The rest of the accessories come in handy such as the bread board and wire pin outs. It even has the HDMI video cable and ethernet cable. The power plug that comes with it has the push in button to turn it on and off. I would prefer the toggle rocker on/off so you can easily tell the status but since the Pi has a status led, it's not a big deal at all. I haven't tried all the accessories and resistors yet but it's such a convenience of having everything you will need on hand ready to go.

Good selection of starter components, but some defects and poor documentation
Lots of fun components. But the temp/humidity sensor did not work (I bought another online and my code worked). The documentation was generally quite poor. I had to use Google to find help for all my projects.There was an expansion board that had no documentation at all and the markings were difficult to interpret.One big frustration with this kit was they sent a great selection of reisitors that were completely unmarked (the resitors are tiny, color bands are almost impossible to interpret...besides I'm colorblind). Why couldn't they put a tag on the bundles of resistors as other vendors do?If you are a newby (as I was) and hoping for a jumpstart to understand Raspberry Pi projects--this kit is only marginally ok. Not great. I expect there are better ones.

RPi3B and Arduino with Hsu Components Kit
Great set, just what I need for my new RPi3B. The hard case is especially impressive and useful! The sensors etc. are very useful for learning Iot with RPi3B.Hint: you can install the Arduino IDE on RPi3B, then use a standard Arduino USB cable to connect Arduino to RPi3B and use all existing Arduino sensors etc. There is a bit of code available to open the RPi3B serial port for communication with Arduino - see pages on raspberrypi.org for more. This means that with the LCD screen I bought for the RPi3B I can program the Arduino boards without need for a stand-alone Windows PC - meaning all my RPi3B and Arduino components are now even more portable than ever!

Has all the wires you need
The Raspberry Pi 3 fits nicely inside the case. The case has openings for all the ports including the GPIO ribbon cable. The resistors comes with a nice cheatsheet for the color bands (it's a sticker).The fan comes with screws to attach to the case. Note: the fan should have an external power source so it does not pull to much current from the board.All my parts worked as they should including the potentiometersNo manual comes with this product.

Great kit for beginners and experts.
The media could not be loaded. Great kit at a great price. Comes with everything you need. Sd card, USB reader. Great quality kit. I recommend this kit to anyone who is trying to get into pis and self teach. This is literally everything you need to get started. YouTube is full of resources to learn and along with this kit you can practically make anything. Some cool projects I'd recommend are the aiy kit for beginners and turning a pi into Android auto.I highly recommend this kit. Do yourself a favor and get one.

Good ($) beginner kit
Nice kit. Duplicated a lot of items you get in a standard start kit that has a 3+ pi board included. I don't hold that against them though, now I have everything I need if I want to order a 2nd 3+ board...who am I kidding, I'm sure I'll just find a reason to add a second board...Anyhow, this kit seemed a happy medium between getting no extras for my board and getting way too many ($$$). Haven't built anything yet but I'm sure I'll have fun experimenting with the kit...
