Raspberry Pi Pico W Ultimate Starter Kit with Online Tutorials, RoHS Compliant, 450+ Items, 117 Projects, MicroPython, C/C++ (Compatible with Arduino IDE)

• Got this kit as a gift from a sibling. It's made me learn a lot from micro electronics, and I python coding. • Honestly a great creative tool as you quickly realize all of the possibilities that open up with your own diy electronics. • The only "drawback" would be the kit not including more high end components, but they're good enough and expected for a starter kit.

When I first opened up this kit, I was just intrigued by the amount of electronic components in this kit. I have a passion for electronics, science, coding, engineering, etc. This kit is what I would call my “Dream World.” I've purchased many electronics kits and components and this kit just stands out the most. The products extremely are high-quality, and calling this a “Starter Kit for Pico W” is just an understatement--it has boatloads of items and components, allowing anyone to create and learn with complex and simple beginner projects. The first time I got a parcel with this kit, the 830-point breadboard was not of the best quality, as the Pico W would not go into it. I contacted Amazon's customer service, and they issued me a return-less refund within minutes. I ordered a replacement, and it was in perfectly good shape, and everything was properly working. Even though the kit wasn't perfect the first time, I was pretty satisfied with how hassle-free the return process was and how good quality the kit's items were. Another thing I noticed is that typically, SG90 9g servos are generic in other kits, while this kit specifically uses the highest-quality and branded ones from Tower Pro. Every single component is properly sealed and protected. The tutorial and code are also very easy to follow, bug-free, and explanatory. I think the company's idea of partnership for the “Ultimate Pico W Kit” with TopTechBoy was a great one, as his tutorials are able to help beginners and advanced electronic engineers alike in answering questions and thoroughly clearing misconceptions. I have experienced the same, along with the other people taking his YouTube course. Overall, this is a great product and perfect for adults, kids, teens, or anyone of any age, and will support you along your engineering and electronics journey.

The raspberry pi pico w is awesome and I recommend to anyone interested in learning coding and automation. Or makes a great gift to get you children into.

Got this for my 14yo as a Christmas gift. He’s been watching the lesson videos every day and loving it! It’s even got him excited about math a little bit! Would definitely recommend for those starting out learning about computers and coding. The lessons are clear and very helpful- all on YT- and taught by a retired teacher who clearly loved teaching. Great buy for the price.

I was just looking for a pico, saw this and I couldn't be happier. I'm very excited, there's many inspiring little components, I don't think I could do better for price if I bought them myself.

This time of review, I would like to start with my bad experience and things to be improved before what I found which are great... * First, not sure that was my unlucky day or the QC in the factory wasn't done right - I have received a DOA product. The key item in this product is the Raspberry Pico W, but unfortunately, upon receiving, no matter how I connect it or press the button or whatever, there is no response from my computer at all. Once I filed an exchange and received the replacement, as soon as I connect the Pico to my computer, it immediately prompts me new device(Pico) is plugged, that's exactly what happened, the first product received is defective on arrival. * I started some modules, the 18650 is 800mAh only, kind of a very low capacity, more important, the "Li-Po charger module" does charge the 18650, however, it appears that the power module doesn't has voltage step-up, what does that means is that, the Pico can be powered up by the 18650, when it is fully charged, it gets the 4.2V max for the VBUS, but no where closes to 5V, so, it won't power both the Pico and some external modules, like LCD, without external help of connecting another power source. So, apparently the idea of introducing the 18650 and powered by it is great, but without a step-up module like what a powerbank ic does, it may only work on some simple project but not those requires a 5V source. * Note that there is no printed manual/instruction/CD and the like, everything is online. Well, it is both good and bad, you always need to have another machine that is internet connected to access the tutorials or reference. After some years, if the online site is moved, closed or no longer available for any reason, you are on your own. There should be at least a mini-CD with all the components introduction as well as the tutorials, so that customer can get those without connecting to internet. On the good side, the online tutorials are pretty throughout, very suitable for starters, it tells you step-by-step to setup for the module/component demonstrated. But I found some detail explanation is missing. So, some additional research on your own is required. It has some "IoT" projects as well, but those require you pre- setup some accounts on those introduced free/open-source sites first. Those are interesting and excited to explore with this Pico W, internet connection capable small embedded device. Overall, it comes with lots of passive/active components for hobbyist to try out, start the first IoT project, the online tutorials are not the greatest but acceptable for starters. The price is slightly on the high-end, but kind of justified with the pin-soldered Pico($6 value), LCD module and lots of sensors, RFID modules, passive resistors/LEDs/buttons and more. Recommended starter kit to learn Pico W in depth to its internet connectivity capability!

This kit is actually awesome. Plenty of little bits and parts to mess around with, they dont feel cheaply made or too fragile, and the video tutorials are super easy to follow along. Paul explains everything perfectly step by step. Ive only just begun, but so far it seems much easier than i thought it would be.

Great product
