“Not a fault of The Pi Hut but I my kit was delivered in damaged packaging with parts missing, however they were generous enough to send a full replacement kit instead of just replacing the missing parts. Thank you guys :)
On to the M5StickC. I love how compact it is and the built in features. For years now I have had a TeamSpeak 3 server for my friends to use and had cobbled together a little project using an ESP8266 with an OLED display and an LED to show me when my friends log in to my server without me having to be logged in myself. So when I saw this kit I thought it would be perfect for an upgraded version of my TS3 Monitor and it has not disappointed (my project files are on GitHub at https://github.com/Galbi3000/TS3Monitor-M5StickC ).
Now for the reasons to take off 1 star from my rating. The first is the strap, it's really only for kids, too small for my adult wrist so I can not use it as a wearable around my home. The other issue raises the learning curve for programming the M5StickC, there is a lack of proper documentation for the Arduino libraries and most of the examples have non-English comments or none at all to let you know what the examples are doing. If you are not an experienced programmer then you may find this a bigger issue.”
“Nice bit of kit, plenty of docs for it, some a bit confusing but very powerful and flexible, and the pihut guys provide excellent support - top team !”
