Universal Maker Sensor Kit Compatible with Arduino Mega/R3/R4 Minima/WiFi Nano, Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B+/Zero 2 W/, Pico W, ESP32, C++, Python, MicroPython, Beginners & Engineers

Really good, great quality and as it was a gift it was really well received.

A fantastic kit for anyone looking to get into understanding electronics. The kit consists of a whole bunch of different types of sensor, from common ones such as PIR or temperature, to rain and pressure sensors, together with a breadboard, connecting wires and various switches/controls. The instructions are all online - link provided in the box, but you can find them by going to the SunFounder website and selecting the Online Tutorial link, followed by this product: Universal Maker Sensor Kit. The kit is compatible with various computing devices, e.g. Rasberry Pi and the instructions have sections for each that take you through a number of projects. There's 34 for the Rasberry Pi that take you from setting up the Rasberry Pi in the first place and running the code, building the electronics and writing functions to control it. Even if you're completely new to this, the instructions are clear enough to help you through, although be warned - this kit requires substantial investment of time to take full advantage of. The only downside is that the kit comes in a plastic box with most of the bits squeezed into the base in unlabeled individual plastic bags. It's a very tight squeeze such that if you open it and take some out to look it's a real challenge putting them all back, although once removed from the bags, it's a little easier, but more chance of damage then. It's worth investing in a much larger box to collect a kit that is likely to grow with time. The kit is quite a lot of money, but it's as much an investment as it is a "toy" or "hobby" item. I'd have absolutely loved to get something like this when I was 14, although I might have needed a little hand-holding at first. The rewards though! It's a great way to get into both electronics and low-level computer programming and trust me when I say, this combination of skills are in very high demand, not to mention the general benefits you get from simply stretching your brain in this way.

If you are looking to get started with electronics and want to get a list of collections then this kit has a huge variety of components to act as a booster pack to your electronic collection. It has a large sprinkling of various components that you can use before you know specifically what you want to build. This kit does come with a link to some documentation which tells you of various sample projects you can do. The kit itself is packed in an adjustable plastic case. Each item is packed in an anti-static bag and packed quite securely. However, I was not able to pack everything back together after opening it up and it felt like I would break some components if I forced it. If I did open all of the anti-static bags then perhaps it would fit, but in general do not expect to fit everything back in the same box. What I eventually did was to remove the breadboard, and some motors and store it with my other boxes that I used to store those components and leave this for only the sensors. Which did help it fit. Listed Price when I reviewed it: £55.99 (Disclaimer: I received this for free as part of the Amazon Vine program, but the views here are based on my own experiences and not edited or influenced by anyone)

Wow, this many components for £55.99 is VERY good value! Be warned, though: it's a bit of a Pandora's Box: once you open the box, you're never going to get everything back in, LOL! Not a complaint, though, just an observation. So. On with the review. Used a Raspberry Pi Pico W with this kit and the components tried so far have all worked well and give a great sense of accomplishment when you see them working at your command. There’s also a good range, with a motor, speaker and two display screens, as well as more standard sensors leading to some interesting possibilities. The instructions, while online, are well laid out, which means the code can be copied easily. Plenty of supplemental material elsewhere on the internet if you run into problems. The breadboard had issues with the wires not always getting a good connection. The instructions while comprehensive did have some minor mistakes here and there for the Pico. In fact, the pin numbering in the code on the first lesson is different from the image given. Not recommended for a complete beginner because a bit too much can go wrong - from faulty connections to out of date software and documentation, so there was some frustration. A complete novice working on their own may too easily get stuck and give up. Perfect for a school teacher wanting to introduce basic electronics/coding to their class, or someone who enjoys tinkering and already has at least some experience in coding or basic electronics.

With this maker kit you can really achieve a lot, it is fantastic to see that they are trying to bring engineering to youngest in best way. This kit provides all sorts of displays, breadboard, motion sensors, various modules, wires and even battery itself with dedicated battery cable. There is truly no limit to what you can do with this, doesn’t matter what project you have in head it will provide you with tools to make it. Great to see that whole kit is fully compatible with modern raspberry pi 5 as well going to back to 2 and pico, this is much easier environment to work with than Arduino however Arduino is supported as well. Definitely having tons of modules is great however there is no use if you don’t know how to use them so here is best part; they are providing step by step tutorial and learning courses on how to make it, program it in many languages like C/C++ and python. This kit is fantastic for kids, to introduce basic programming and writing scripts as well engineering when comes to soldering individual components. Very happy with this kit.

Everything good, just as expected

Stupendo fatto come regalo per natale, chi l'ha ricevuto è stato super contento

super kit j'adore
