GeeekPi Micro Python Programing Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico, Breadboard, I2C 1602 LCD Display Module for Raspberry Pi Beginners & Software Engineer

The media could not be loaded. Very impressed with the kit. Perfect starting point for everyone. Some sensors could be higher models but overall no point to complain!P.S. 1. to stop continuous beeping connect one of the ground pins to the beeping pin as it is showen in pictures attached.2. If Arduino IDE doesn't see the board just click to upload the code anyways, it will work and the port will appear

Had a blast and a lot of essential things included that come in handy for other projects. Great little kit!

Ok

Pros, the kit really has a wide variety of products included. The items were packaged well, and the documentation is fair. I am sure the documentation will get better in time, so be prepared to do some web searching. GeeekPi has a video on the web with all the projects and code shown, and I highly recommend that you watch this. When you get good at the code, this package will really open up a whole new world to you. The Raspberry Pi Pico is the future! I am sure they will add other features and it will be exciting to learn the coding and see it directly in action. The technical support at GeeekPi was exceptional, and the Amazon support is always top-notch. Thanks to all that supported me.

The description says ‘for Raspberry Pi Beginners & Software Engineers’. This is neither for 'beginners' nor 'software engineers'. For beginners it does not teach you Python or MicroPython. And a real software engineer would not need something like this. They would go directly to the MicroPython documentation or to the Software Development Kit.It is mainly loading code, wiring up circuits and then watch them run. There is no detailed explanation of the code that a beginner would need. Here is an example from one of the programs that a beginner will not understand: tm.write([0b00111001, 0b00111111, 0b00111111, 0b00111000]). And most of the code for the individual sensors are just a few lines long that only show you that they output a digital high or digital low.The included book does not have clear diagrams for wiring up the circuits. They do have photos, but they are not good enough to help you wire them up. And the first two projects in the book have mistakes.They do have a YouTube video that shows how wire up the circuits and it does include close-ups so you can see where the wires go. It’s almost 3 hours long, but it does have time stamps in the description for each project. There is a link to it at the bottom of their wiki page for this product. Search for “wikiK-0586”.You do get a lot of sensors which does give the opportunity to learn a lot. But if you really want to learn this, you will have to search the internet for tutorials and videos on Python, MicroPython, on the Pi Pico itself and also tutorials on the specific sensors.I do like the Pico Breadboard Kit that comes with it. For information on it search “wiki EP-0140”.But that can be purchased as a separate item.I have bought a number of items from GeeekPi for my PI 4's and have been pleased with those purchases.It is just this specific purchase that has disappointed me.

The description includes verbiage such as "for Raspberry Pi beginners" and "enthusiasts to learn Python programming". This kit is neither. I bought this kit for learning Python. I've been building hardware since my first MC6800 kit almost 50 years ago, so I'm not afraid of hardware. I am disappointed that the documentation didn't include even the most basic assembly instruction or description of the development kit for real beginners (e.g. LED's, buttons, etc.). As far as learning Python, there's only downloading the experiment code, load it, and run it. No explanation of what it's doing, no comments in the code, no documentation, nothing. What documentation there is was poorly written and hard to understand what they were getting at. There were even places in the documentation where sections were obviously copy/pasted without editing that section for the current experiment. I have other complaints like labeling parts and code that flat out didn't work, but suffice it to say that this kit is not for beginners, and if you really want to play around, you better already be a Python expert.

The book and instructions that come with this garbage. Just wow its literally just a link to user unfriendly website that covers a whole lot of different things. You would literally need some sort of spiritual medium to make any sense of the instructions that this comes with. There is no part of this kit that is user friendly. Might as well have been a radio shack hardware grab box of random hardware. And this doesn't even start to addressed the elephant in the room of the annoying buzzer that there is no sort of warning or instructions in its disabling or the fact it just blast noise as soon as you plug this junk in.

I was working on this thing for hours just to get one project to work. I do whatever the instructions say, but when I start the circuit it always says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'machine'. It did come with a lot of fun parts, but whats the point if you can't even use them?
