Ultimate Starter Kit for ESP32-WROVER (Included) (Compatible with Arduino IDE), Wireless Onboard Camera, Python C, 814-Page Detailed Tutorial, 240 Items, 127 Projects

The starter kit has many different components allowing a plethora of different projects to have a go with. The module itself is well-made and has a camera already connected. There is a useful expansion board with a voltage regulator on, allowing it to be powered by an external source, which also connects onto the supplied breadboard. I had some trouble running the basic LED blink code (the "hello, world" of embedded development), which I believe is due to the default strapping state of some of the ESP-32 pins but Freenove were very quick to respond to my email and their suggested remedy worked so I am now able to proceed with my project. The camera web server example also ran without a hitch. I found the Arduino IDE with the 'sketches' worked fine but it hides a lot of stuff. It is great for beginners but I am more used to a professional environment like Eclipse and VsCode, so will have a go at setting those up.

Este kit está muy bien para empezar, porque es muy barato para todo lo que trae. Tiene componentes originales, de alta calidad... Un manual muy detallado con explicaciones, también viene el software, drivers, ejemplos... Todo genial para empezar, como he dicho anteriormente. El único pequeño defecto es que mi caja (la de plástico) venía un poco rota por fuera, pero al menos no tiene roturas internas. Por lo demás genial. Gracias.

With all the parts you need and a library of examples showing how to hook up to and control each, this is a great opportunity to learn what you need to know to automate your home with IoT or make your own projects in robotics or just learn to interface a microcomputer to external hardware. One thing, if you want to use this to learn the electronics part of interfacing (dropping resistors, etc.) this isn’t the kit for you and it’s not intended for that. This kit is for learning how to write code in C or Python to control external hardware, and it does a good job of it. You really should know C, C++, or Python first—it’s not a programming course either. But if you want to get into IoT or robotics, this is a great starting (and finishing) point. Note that this review is for the ULTIMATE kit, not the BASIC kit—the Ultimate Kit has MANY more experiments with much more advanced hardware that you’ll need, especially displays and motors. I would also recommend the ESP32 version over the RASPBERRY Pi version—the ESP32 is more powerful and has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth that Raspi doesn’t have (because of the chip shortage if you have to “settle” for the Raspberry Pi version, don’t worry, everything you learn is applicable to any micro, and you can get external modules for wifi and bluetooth). I strongly recommend this kit to anyone wanting to control the world! (Or your little corner of it anyway.)

My son like it really much. It helps kids to understand how technical things work.

You get everything and more you need to learn and have fun. I have only done the Python courses, they are easy to follow. A lot of stuff to play around with. A good buy for anybody wanting to learn more about either ESP32 or/and Python.
