Raspberry Pi Zero W Starter Kit

Great product ! Worked straight out the box !!

Thought I'd buy a pack that looked good and had led capabilities out of the box as that's what my project entails. had no idea what I set myself up for.Doesn't come with any assembly instructions despite comprising about 9 different parts. Google auto completed my search of pimoroni assembly instructions and even still resulted in nothing. Eventually noticed a throwaway line of "Get started by visiting" on the packaging label of the components, intelligently covered by stickers so the url cannot be read. Eventually found the url, but it only leads to the product page with no assembly instructions. Finally found a sort of cross-section photo in the last image of the sales page gallery. But alas all the components look the same, are unlabeled and have different colours to the parts in my hand. Eventually think I have it sussed only to find the case has chopped off the camera module with the pressure of being screwed in.So thanks pimoroni. Haven't even turned it on yet and it's already broken!Edit: Once I got it assembled, I attached the included Blinkt led strip. This was pretty great and started to redeem the whole purchase, however 24 hours later and the leds no longer light up. The pi runs but even if i remove the led strip from the gpio pins and re-connect it they just don't like up anymore. Worked perfectly for not much more than 24 hours.So essentially I can't use the camera port, can't use the led strip, and therefore I have no further use for this kit.

Works as expected. The LED hat supplied is super bright, great tool/package for teaching (or learning) the basics

bought as a present

need more introduction step y step for kids to follow

Bought as a gift and was very well recieved

I realised this was expensive, but my expectations was a all in one kit top ket the kids started with instructions.The header was installed but end up putting the header on the wrong side, there is no information on how to get the led's working either with the hardware or software, so don't expect this to be a good kit for kids. its not even good enough for adults. I now have confused children and a confused adult with a unit that not going to be really worth fixing I may as-well have bought a single raspberry zero board and a separate case, it would have been cheaper. If I was the seller I would find all the information for your customers and post it with the unit or put it online for your customers to download.Not happy

I haven't actually got this kit but I do have all of the indiviual bits. For its size and computing power the Pi Zero W is quite versatile.I have 7 Pi zeros all doing different things with different things attached.Some of them are in the same type of case that is in this kit, which does the job of protecting the Pi. They look cool too.The Blinkt! LED strip adds a bit of fun to learning to program in python. There are a number of example python scripts that can get you started and tutorials (on the Pimoroni website).Possibly the tricky part of the kit is that you do have to solder the GPIO header yourself. If you haven't soldered before then you could look on youtube as there are bound to be some videos on soldering.
