Likes: I liked that a lot of sensors are in one place and you don't have to waste time connecting wires to individual sensor modules.

Picoder - Compact DIY raspberry PI Pico 2 kit

The fitted Pi Pico 2 did not work with picoder at first as it appeared to have the Pico 1 firmware - once I'd installed the Pi Pico 2 firmware from micropython.org it works fine. The picoder documentation does not reference the pico 2. The picoder documentation is very thin on detail and does not mention what the blue key ring tag thingy is used for! This product would be challenging for a complete beginner to setup. Once setup, the example programs work fine.

Improvements: Instructions for 1. Videos to watch with pictures so we know that we are using it correctly and an active area on github with searchable issues and answers
DO NOT BUY

Very poor instructions come with the product you have to hunt and search the internet to find how to use the thing and then following the steps it doesnt work or respond.
