Had some initial issues with communication with the mu editor. They were quickly identified by the Pimoroni support person.

Prompt delivery! Excellent packaging. First time I tried battery power the CPX kept resetting as if there was a loose connection. However, this problem has not happened again on 2nd and 3rd use. I feel confident that Pimoroni will help if there is a problem.

This is a great little board packed with plenty of sensors and input/output methods making it great value for its cost. It is ideal for those just starting out on a coding hobby as in its original state it can be programmed with Scratch-like blocky code. Once this has been mastered it is a very simple operation to update the device to run CircuitPython and finally to move on to Arduino IDE for maximum low level control of the components. Most owners will use it in the CircuitPython mode and there are plenty of educational resources on the maker's website, including an easy to follow, 211 page, guide which explains in simple terms, with example code, how to use the LEDs, light and temperatures sensors, microphone and speaker. I was given one for Christmas and I've had a great deal of fun reading the sensors and programming it. It can provide hours of fun for young and old (I'm 74).

Wonderful addition to my ever growing collection of micro controller boards. Easy to use without all the webrepl, ampy, etc. fuss associated with ESP32 and ESP8266 boards. Highly recommend Pimoroni - good price, excellent service and rapid delivery.

As with every item I have purchased from Pimoroni I have never been disappointed, the Service is Great, the Products are Great and the price compares Greatly with Adafruit. For me Pimoroni always delivers a First Class Service and remains my number one provider.
