“We received the model 4 recently as a birthday gift for our son. The kit is all you need and works immediately if you have a hdmi monitor & usb keyboard/mouse. If fact our son was up & running and on Minecraft within 30 mins! The case looks great & matching cables etc make it very smart. I would recommend a starter book to accompany the kit. Slight concern was that the components were not secured in the box it was posted in - I was worried if things might have been shaken up en route! - but all working perfectly. Excellent value and a great project starting point - my son already interested in programming and we will look at the robotics kits etc soon.”
“I struggled to get it to fire up. The instructions said it had been tested before despatch and it was probably something I had done wrong. The instructions were right :-( Once I figured out my mistake it worked fine.”
“Great piece of kit. It had all the components that I needed for my particular setup. An optional screen can be added, if necessary. Overall, I would recommend this kit. Also, it was the lowest price that I could find online.”
“First time use of a Pi and this is an ideal way to start. The SD card failed, no fault of PiHut, and was quickly replaced. The videos and forums are helpful in getting up and running. I’m using this as a media server but will definitely use PiHut for my next project. Well done!!!”
