Purchased thiss kit after owning several of their kits for Arduino. The Raspberry Pi has much more power, and this kit looked like the perfect way to learn that platform. For the price, it comes with an incredible collection of parts, including a camera. While the Arduino kits come with a Arduino clone, this kit will require the purchase of a Raspberry Pi, which is fine, considering the price difference between the Arduino and the Pi. All the components come packed in a very small box, considering the large number of parts included. I was interested in Python programming, and this kit does not disappoint - it comes with tutorials for Python, C, Scratch, and Java. The online tutorials are wonderful, and cover a wide range of "things" to make, including some IOT projects. So far, I've just worked through the first few tutorials - they seem similar to the ones for their Arduino kits, with the plus that the creations run on the same machine that you create them on, where as the Arduino projects require a "host" system to write the code. I have not had a chance to work with the camera module, or any of the IOT projects - it's going to be a while before I get to that! For some of the more complex projects, I recommend getting a second breadboard - room to spread things out a bit. The one board it comes with is enough, I just like to spread things out. I would also suggest getting a bigger plastic storage box with compartments, and relocate the small components over to it - the plastic box it comes in is well packed - having a bigger box will make it easier to find smaller parts and less of a chance to lose things. The parts section is second to none, more than enough to keep you busy for several months or more. While the tutorials are great, they are really just the beginning of what you can do with this kit. It begs to be modified and combined with other components to make even bigger and better things. The Pi has plenty of power for it all. Only things I might add to the kit would be a mini OLED display, and possibly a real timeclock. Overall, a great addition to their wide range of kits. It's a great kit to learn about programming, electronics, Linux (Pi), and the Internet of Things.

Hmm. This is a nice kit for learning....if you have a little bit of electronics experience already. I can't imagine if someone is a complete newbie to programming or electronics. I'm a professional programmer of 40 years, with about 4 years in an AIX (Linux, IBM style). Some of the installation instructions for libraries even confounded me. Some examples will not work if you do not install libraries; some libraries are "external source, your must...." yadda yadda, with no real explanation about the yadda's. Good luck to the newbie. Some of the steps for the wire hookups are minimalist, at best. Some of these, if hooked up badly, *can harm the Rasp-Pi." Can't harm you, being only 5V, but at about $100 for the Pi....not what I want to sizzle. Enough of the bad stuff?? Sure. This is a nice kit that covers a lot of ground, and shows how the circuits work and gives some very good experience learning. All instructions are online (which some people apparently do not like) and it is thorough for various programming languages. (I just wish more detail were given for setting up what is not simple.) It would a nice addition (SunFounder, if you're listening!) to have extended exercises for the builder to try. For instance, your 7 segment LED has a count up. 1) make a prog to count down; 2) make a prog to act like a clock--ie go to 59 seconds and roll over. Stuff like that.

I bought this kit a while ago and I have honestly spent so much time just learning and experimenting with it. It is packed with components, so there isn't just one way to use it, you can go in so many different directions depending on what you want to build. It has been amazing for my personal projects and there’s lots of support. The SunFounder website has A LOT of great resources, tutorials, and documentation that made getting started really easy. If you are looking to get into Raspberry Pi or just want a massive kit to tinker with, I would 100% recommend this.

This kit is great. It got me started with a bunch of projects to do with my Raspberry Pi 5. I love how everything fits in the case. The components are all quality feeling and it is very easy to use. There is a bunch of tutorials and guides using this exact kit, so you can learn so much using it. It is very educational, and if you want to get started with a Raspberry Pi, this is the kit for you.

This is REALLY good value. Lidar, LEDs, bread board, videos that actually work on YT, 50+ devices. I am still working through it. A fantastic PCB primer.

I actually got two kits - this SunFounder kit and the FreeNove kit. I was asked to evaluate the kits for a training session on Internet of Things (IoT). I'm not teaching the class, but I have the electronics, coding, and Unix/Linux experience. For the rank beginner, which is someone with no basic electronics training and no coding training (specifically C language and Python), I would recommend a basic electronics course and a course in Python or C language, before doing this kit. If you follow directions exactly, all the experiments/projects will work, but you may not understand how it works. The manual for the course is on a SunFounder webpage. So, this may not work well for a classroom setting. There may be PDF file of the manual, but I could not find it on the webpage. There are sections for Python and C language for RPi models 3 & 4. There are sections for Python on RPi model 5. Each project section displays a schematic diagram for the project as well as a picture showing how to wire the project on the bread board. The text for each section has short descriptions of the circuit logic and describes what certain code stanzas do. The webpage has links to videos that describe some of the electronics used in the projects and some of the coding. I recommend a user watch all the videos. Once the instructor gets passed his laid back lifestyle phase at the beginning of each video, he does provide important information about the electronics and coding. An inventory of supplied parts, showed everything arrived as described. The inventory is shown on a card in the kit box. Don't loose the card as there is nothing on the webpage or a PDF of the inventory. There is a section, on the webpage, that describes some of the components, but it isn't an inventory. If you get the kit, I recommend getting some #20 solid core hookup wire. The shortest jumper wires they provide are four inches long. Using those wires to make a number of connections 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart creates a forest of wiring that is cumbersome at best. I used the #20 wire and a pair of wire stripper/cutters to make short1/2 inch - 1 inch connections that reduced the wire forest and made it easier to trace circuits. I dropped a star because some components in the project texts were mis-labled. The diagram calls for a PNP transistor when they want an NPN transistor. Polarized capacitors were shown in the circuits with the polarization reversed. The resistors, in the kit, are 1/4 watt, with #28 or #30 hookup wires. I found that the breadboard didn't clamp on these wires very well. I resorted to using a pair of needlenose pliers to bend and squeeze the wires to make a thicker wire for the breadboard to clamp. The kit uses Wiringpi for addressing the GPIO pins in C language and GPIOZero for python. Wiringpi has been around for a long time. The original developer has dropped off the project to do other things, but the GitHub community keeps the library up to date. GPIOZero is rapidly becoming the standard for python coding for the GPIO pins. Will I recommend the kit -- with the caveat about rank beginners, yes. The kit will teach you how to use a Raspberry Pi to control different kinds of gadgets.
