    NPS score:
    0 (Not at all likely)
    10 (Extremely likely)
    Likes: Price and the functions available primarily the ability to control 4 motors.
    Improvements: The software on GitHub needs checking. But it is easy to rectify.

    As said below, motors and LEDs all working well. I hooked up an Ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) and that worked straight away, I also tried out a stepper motor and that too was fine, just needed to tweak the values in the software to fine tune the speed etc.
    All in all a good value piece of kit.
    If I can find an IR sensor to check that out I will add to the review.

    Likes: Ability to control up to 4 motors
    Improvements: Some of thecae on GitHub needs correcting, but as stated that is good fun hunting down the errors
    Nice bit of kit

    I needed to control 4 motors and most hats only control 2, so when I saw this motor shield I had to purchase one. works well out of the box, just need to remember that more motors need more external power. I have only tried out the motor control so far, but that all seems ok, some of the software needs editing but that's half the fun. I will check out the ID sensors and Ultrasonic sensor soon and also try out some stepper motors and add to the review when done.
    Good value kit
