Freenove Projects Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ 400 Zero 2 W, Simple Wiring, 860-Page Detailed Tutorial, Python C Java Scratch Processing Code, 132 Projects (Raspberry Pi NOT Included)

Really good value nice quality kit enabled me to dive right in and start seeing results straight away. Thorough documentation which you download from the Freenove website. You should do the first project (a simple flashing blue LED) to check you have things working but after that I just jumped around through all the other hardware projects. This is a great kit for the money. If it helps, here are the items I used to work with this: Raspberry Pi 4B 2GB ( the cheapest and I had one, no reason you shouldn't buy one with larger memory but not needed for this kit I don't think) Power supply with USB-C connector (minimum 3 Amps i.e. 15 Watts though my decent 12 Watt one was OK so far) Micro HDMI to HDMI cable say 1 metre (I tend to buy UGREEN or Anker brands as they are nice quality) SanDisk Ultra microSDHC 32GB card UGREEN 4-in-1 USB 3.0 Card Reader A spare PC monitor with HDMI video input also a USB 2 button PC mouse and a USB PC keyboard all connected to the Pi I just used the Raspberry Pi website to download an operating system for the Pi, think it was 64Bit with desktop version, once you have this running on the Pi you can easily use a network cable plugged between the Pi and your hub/router and download other stuff you need. I am no expert but I suspect a pi model 5 might be a bit 'too new' for use with this kit but I may be wrong. I think I found a few typos in the Freenove documentation, then again I may be mistaken. A few of the projects I cannot get to work at this time but as most of them do work I see this a challenge and a learning opportunity rather than a problem. There is a lot of detail in the documentation and perhaps more sophisticated ways of working than I used but again I can dig further into this later for more learning. For me the most important aspect here is to get working results quickly in the first instance so as not to be discouraged and this kit really enables that.

I can’t get over how awesome this kit is, there’s enough components to have kept me occupied over several weekends diving in already and I’m barely 1/10th of the way through them. What stands out is how easy it is to pick a component and dive straight in as everything is easily pluggable. I really value the ability to just sit right down and start coding and having fun, as time is at a premium right now. The documentation that has been put together alongside this projects kit is massive, and it’s all readily available just in a git repo. Every component has enough instructions and example code to get you started without too much trouble. I’ve saved lots of time by there being working code I can drop in if things get tricky. There is a lot of fun to be had with this kit and I’m really amazed at how easy it is to get started as [pretty much] a beginner. There’s also some awesome switches on the main board which were my favourite type as a kid, so that may have added some bias!

Liked: The whole thing!! Very detailed setup and project instructions (available online) - 338 pages! Good quality, well-designed project board Loads of nice projects. Great learning tool and confidence builder - Raspberry Pi, Electronics and Coding. Disliked: Very little! Quite a lot of set-up software and configuration of the Raspberry Pi are needed. (but all online) Packets of components without any description of what's in them - but it's fun finding out! (Component list needed in the Tutorial)

This is an excellent kit for those wanting to learn more about electronics, using a Raspberry Pi. The quality of construction is excellent, certainly up to Freenove’s usual high standards and the instructions are easy to follow. With some interesting little projects to get involved in, it is a really good product to consider as a gift for someone who wants to learn more about electronics but doesn’t want to have to solder components or circuits together.

Bought this together with a Pi for our son (13) who is interested in coding. This has a great tutorial book on getting everything set up and tons of different exercises, has really helped us get the best from the Pi as a present. Well worth the money

This is a great development board that wil allow you to build your project and debug easily. For beginners given the hardware and the good online tutorial, it’s a great product. Easily extend GPIO connections to a bread board for additional prototyping, but not all GPIO. Good selection of devices supplied and quality seems to be high

Best kit for Rapsberry Pi projects. Everything is organised, no clutter or messy wires. It comes with a link to download project codes. Once downloaded, it’s easy to follow the instruction manual even if not familiar with coding. Fast delivery too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Has all you need to get you up and running quickly, the download tutorial book is excellent, takes you through step be step in c and python.

I got my board a few days ago and I was able to quickly assemble it using the provided instructions and play with the first two projects. The board works perfectly with a Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless first generation (armv6l). I have a couple of Raspberry Pi devices around but I preferred to test it using the Pi Zero. The quality of the hardware provided by Freenove reminds me of an Apple product, really well done and a nice looking board, simply beautiful. The current Raspberry OS is different vs the one presented in the documentation, but everything works mostly the same, one just needs to pay a little attention for the small name changes in the menus (e.g. raspi-config changed the location of where various settings were in the past). The provided instructions for building the projects are clear and easy to follow. I would encourage everyone to run the provided code and then try to redo the code from scratch without picking at the solution. Once you have a working code, compare your code with the provided one. This is the best approach if you wants to learn. Based on your programming background, you can chose between C and Python to follow with the projects. It is also possible to do the projects in Processing (Java) but it is recommended (in the provided documentation) to do them first in C or Python. I didn't tried the Java version for the first two projects I already did but I will do it in the next days. Looking forward to a few weekends of playing with the Freenove Raspberry Pi projects board !

Simple to use and get results quickly testing hardware or software,great examples to cut and place for your own jobs

He comprado esta placa para aprender de microelectrónica y la cantidad de componentes que puedo usar en infinidad de proyectos. Esta placa es gloria para aquellos que no quieren tener que conectar decenas de cables y resistencias con sumo cuidado a una placa de pruebas (breadboard), que suelen tiene conexiones endebles y dar problemas en proyectos ligeramente más complejos. Mi experiencia ha sido óptima. Sacas los componentes, montas la placa, la conectas a la Raspberry Pi, ejecutas el código (en mi caso Python) ¡y a funcionar! 10 minutos y ya tienes el primer ejemplo tirando. Evidentemente, esta placa no es para lo usuarios más avanzados, aunque podrían sacarle utilidad (empezando por la gran cantidad de componentes que vienen incluidos como parte del kit), pero para la gente de nivel básico y medio les hará las delicias. Eso sí, ayuda tener el tutorial impreso, o en una pantalla aparte. Recomendable 100% si quieres iniciarte en el mundillo de IoT y divertirte encendiendo luces, leyendo temperaturas y haciendo sonar cacharritos, entre otras muchas cosas.

しばらく放って置いてやっと使ったら、ブザーのセクターで動作がおかしい、ダウンロードしたpythonコードを動かすと本来スイッチを押しまでoffになるはずが最初からon状態に、調べるとプルアップされてるはずのスイッチ電圧が1V(本来3.3v)しかなく更に調べるとブザーに繋ぐためのDIPスイッチを入れるとおかしくなることが判明した、嫌気がさして使うのやめた、返品期間も過ぎていて、ボードにセンサー直付けの為センサーのみの使用もかなわずただのオブジェになった。

Il kit unisce didattica e divertimento, la guida all'installazione e agli esperimenti è ben fatta e completa. Attenzione agli switch, che devono essere posizionati correttamente per ciascuna esperienza. Corredato dal SW in C e Python, è anche un valido stimolo allo studio dei linguaggi e delle relative librerie.
