– Freenove RFID Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ 400 Zero 2 W, 927-Page Detailed Tutorial, Python C Java Scratch Processing Code, 204 Items, 122 Projects (Raspberry Pi NOT Included)

This is an excellent accessory kit is for a starter looking to get into the work of electronics or coding. The kit is comprehensive and has all you need to learn about the function of each component. From pressing button and making LEDs switch on to changing the LED colour, Controlling a motor via a dial of writing a message on a screen. The tutorial document package is downloadable and contains, instructions, explanations and code it is extremely in-depth explaining how watch component works which is then followed by a diagram and then a walkthrough of each projects pre-written code in multiple languages. All you need to do is wire are per the diagram and execute the code. I have used the customer support and cannot fault them. I felt like a valued customer and was supported fully, Thank you, I wish all companies treated you like this.

As someone who's made a living in IT writing mainly bespoke software for 40+ years, ive always been fascinated by the control and electronic side which i've never had the time to properly learn, (that's always been for others), and although only just started on the sample projects, find this has well written tutorials with great kit. I bought a raspberry pi zero WH to use it with, and am totally enjoying the learning. To anyone else fascinated by this sort of thing, wether young or an old, it's hard to imagine you could do much better to start with. GL

i liked it but i think it could be cheaper

Excellent variety of projects, well-written instructions, great price

You get what you pay for I guess. I bought this because I wanted to tinker with RFID, but also because it had the I2C 1602 LCD package module. However I quickly found that the I2C 1602 LCD package module was faulty (the backlight was nonfunctional) Quite disappointed by that. But a friend bought one at the same time, and his is fully funtional. That said, I was able to repair it myself, 5 minutes with a soldering iron (dry solder joint).

This seems like a fairly good kit for the price.I am new to the Raspberry Pi and Arduino, so I'm not sure where to start and I was hoping this would clear things up a bit.

The tutorial are well written for Pyhton, unfortunately the tutorials in C use a gpio library "WiringPi" which isn't available any more therefore cannot be followed but have to be modified to work with other libraries.

Haven't tried everything yet, but first impressions not great. A lot of the LEDs are broken out of the box and seemingly zero connectivity on some of the resistors. Most annoyingly though, the provided power chip broke almost immediately (seems to work only if a motor is plugged in and then only in a cycling on/off mode?!). The 3V functionality seems to be broken completely. On the positive side, it does come with a lot of different components at least.

ok

A well paced tutorial and useful collation of sensors and bits. The software was written by electrical engineers and misses a few finesses but does the job and is serviceable. Great that it's open source so I can look at other tutorials down the track. (Ie. I want to try RF transmitters). The scripts could also do with a clean up - a few unrelated comments pasted from other tutorials, etc. Given me confidence to try a few home automation projects.

Very nice kit, everything is well made, and all works with raspberry pi. They give you a long PDF of all the things you can create with step-by-step instructions. Very fun recommend it.

Ce kit est complet et très bien fait, l'ensemble des composants fonctionnent et tout est rangé dans une boîte. Le tutoriel est sur le site de Freenove/Tutorial pour le téléchargement et en anglais. Mais c'est un anglais simple à comprendre sans trop entrer dans les détails techniques. Les différents projets permettent de savoir comment utiliser les différents composants avec des schémas de câblage et le code. Je recommande vivement ce kit. Attention pour les personnes qui n'ont jamais codé ou utilisé un système Linux, ça pourrait être compliqué.

I bought this kit when I bought a Raspberry Pi to learn about circuitry and programming. It’s been almost 20 years since I last coded or played with circuits so I wanted something that would go through the basics and have good instructions, along with lots of variety. I’m having a great time with this. It’s loaded with great projects that are good for learning and there’s enough variety that it stays interesting. You also really do get a lot for the cost of this. A much better value than what I expected. The manual (needs to be downloaded) is very good and very helpful. For each project it explains the components, describes the dynamics, and explains the code quite well. I’d highly recommended this for anyone wanting to learn circuits and related coding. I think it provides great instruction and it’s really fun at the same time. Very much worth the price.
