This case is so attractive I nearly repurposed it as a display piece instead of using it as my boat’s small Pi server — I’ll probably buy another just to showcase. Why I like it: assembly took less th... See more

PiArm A good value for the price. Well designed and well supported.

I ordered the PiArm and received it promptly in perfect condition.
It was relatively easy to built and -- when following the instructions step by step -- the result is a good arm, with three devices to play and program.
You can use EZblock Studio or Python's Jupyter Notebooks for easy programming. The possibilities are endless.
Overall a good value.

PiCrawler is a great robot project

Purchased a PiCrawler and was pleasantly surprised by how good the quality of the parts. The instructions included and online were easy to follow. Would definitely recommend this robot kit as a good beginner-intermediate project into the world of robotics and programming

I have assembled 3 PiCar products from SunFounder and successfully made them all perform their routines. All kits were complete as per part's list and assembly was mostly smooth. The latest, the PiCar-X, had a few minor problems (could have been caused by me?) but SunFounder sales and Tech support departments resolved them quickly and professionally. I would certainly use SunFounder products again...

I've purchased some arduino kits

I've purchased some arduino kits, raspberry pi parts and also played around with the picar using object detection. Quality products and a ton of information/documentation online. I've bought many sunfounder products and never had issues as they offer really cheap maker/builder parts for various electronic enthusiasts and engineers.

Very poor experience left child in tears

Very poor experience from sunfounder, faulty parts to PI car and when contacted for spare part were ignored. My 12 yr old took 5 hrs building and programming, when the part is faulty and the manufacturer are not helping, my son cried and still no help. Finally amazon got involved and refunded us. Never again another dodgy Eastern manufacturer

Thales Kit: Perfect starter kit for Raspberry Pi Pico!

I am very happy with the contents of this starter kit. It also comes with a good list of tutorials listed as well. I have already worked through some of the initial tutorials using this kit and its online tutorial. I strongly recommend this kit to anyone wanting to get initiated into embedded systems with Raspberry Pi Pico.

I also like that the components ship in a plastic storage box with adjustable separators. Overall, this kit comes at a sweet price with so many components worth tens of hours of fun and learning!

Fun little kit

This is a fun little kit for those wanting to learn about programming/coding and how it can relate to the physical world. All the parts needed are included in the package, all you need is a computer for coding and to download the software. It comes with led lights, LCD display, servo motor (just to name a few things), and even the included pico pi has header pins already soldered to the board. They even include a tutorial

I highly recommend this kit if you like to learn and play

SunFounder RasPi Pico: Basic Starter Kit

A very decent kit of solid-state electronics for the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Kit also includes online tutorials and sample code for physical-world programming. Example code for both MicroPython and Arduino (C#).
This is my third RasPi-related kit from SunFounder.
Four star rating for occasionally hard-to-follow language-translations.

Ordered a RasPad3 on NOV30 for delivery in December. Still not received by 05JAN2021 so I emailed for a tracking number. The response was "We have supply problems, new shipping date sometime in February" I requested my order be cancelled since they could not guarantee delivery. They replied: Cancellation OK, $191.00 to be refunded. Still waiting for refund. They had no problem charging me the instant my order was placed but I will have to dispute the charge with my credit card to get my cancelled order refunded. As an interesting coincidence, the day after I cancelled this order my card was hit with multiple fraudulent charges from around the world.

I placed an order for a few simple items almost 2 weeks ago . It took about a week for them to create the shipping label. It has now been 6 days since that happened and it still has not shipped . I find this unacceptable and unprofessional .

What a great portable monitor for the pric

It has a generous 13.3 inch size and it's very lightweight and portable! It has to be plugged in, it isnt rechargeable and cordless. And works great with ps3, ps4, wiiU, Xbox 360nd raspberry pi system. It can also hook up to a laptop, industrial equipment, phone and computer. So yeah, for the price you are getting a fantastic little monitor that you can carry with you on the road. I'm very pleased with it and would recommend you just jump in and purchase it at this price point.

Great Product

This was a fun project for my son who is 15. It doesn't come with raspberry PI, luckily he already had that. He took a class at school teaching him how to program the software. I don't understand this technology whatsoever but he was very satisfied with it and loves the programming aspect.
