While these are a little more expensive than kits that connect directly to the pi board, I think the price is worth it for those of us who would rather jump right into the coding side rather than soldering wires together. In the first night of having this kit, I was able to write several simple scripts based on their examples (turn on LEDs with the button, print out distance to the LCD screen, etc).
Good kit. Make sure you use the demo programs from Dexter. I was a little confused that each port is also connected to the next one up. Makes it more like the arduino but that is not necessarily a good thing.
Exactly what I needed. Would be nicer if the connectors were color coded by type or function. Made the mistake of attaching and I2C device to a analog port. Nothing broke but had more than a few minutes of head-scratching trying to figure out why things didn't work as expected.
great way to break into using the Pi with ready to go base projects and hardware. Looking to get my son under 10 a unit to play with now that he's seen some of the cool things that can be built.
Arrived promptly, everything perfect. Great kit for getting the satisfaction of things working quickly and then inspiring to dig deeper and learn, learn, learn. Having a lot fun with this.
