The kit came quickly in the mail, and I’m working my way through the bundled courses. All excellent so far!

So far, so good, although my order had a bit of a hiccup at the beginning. I contacted android central, and Carol sent a return email very promptly, she resubmitted the request and again got back to me. Overall, I was delighted with android central, especially with how they dealt with the order and how quickly I received the shipment. I would recommend android central, especially with their customer service, thanks!

The Sunfounder starter kit itself is somewhat disappointing, I was hoping for more code-related exercises in the booklet but all the scripts for each sensor are pre-written and the lessons don't go into detail. Other than that the product itself is great and I have yet to take the included online courses.

Started out by shipping the kit to the wrong address in the wrong city but the company did send me another one so that was good it arrived yesterday and I find the raspberry pi has no power supply and the microSD card has no adapter so if you're buying this kit make sure you by those things separately if you need them. The kit has lots of sensors and LEDs to make lots of projects seems good that way. the kit comes with only one small book with projects in it.

I have just unpacked to product and verified all the pieces. All the pieces were accounted for however, the book references a baramoter sensor BMP280. What I received was a BMP 180. Lesson 31 in the manual is for utilizing the 280.

Good courses and high quality electronics but very slow on delivery; over a week later than guestimate.
