As the result of my experience this time, I can strongly recommend PIMORONI for getting any electronic gadgets. - Quickness as meeting delivery type - Safe packaging If I had one additional comment, I wanted to a instruction to assemble Pi-case.

It's quite hard to get Pi Zero W in my country. I had a thought I should've waited longer, but not. The kit is cute although I run hypriot OS instead of raspbian so that I'm facing difficulties with built-in bluetooth device. However, even those troubles are fun! Thnx a lot to the shop and the staff. Perhaps I'll get some other stuff from you near future.

This kit is perfect if you're new to microcontroller projects and want to get started. It comes with everything (and I mean everything) you need, nicely packaged up in a little hard case. Using a handy guide provided by Pimoroni (just Google “pimoroni headless pi”), I was able to set up a headless, networked RPi (which I could access over SSH from my laptop) in about ten minutes. Just one warning: if you're not a fairly confident solderer, I would recommend picking up the GPIO Hammer Header linked to in the description. I'm fairly experienced with a soldering iron and I still found it quite fiddly, simply due to the miraculously tiny size of the Pi itself and the close proximity of the pins to one another. Overall a comprehensive and beautifully packaged kit, that I'd recommend to anyone!

I am new to Pi and this is the first time I make purchase from Pimoroni. The package arrived my office (in Hong Kong) about a week from order. To me, the delivery time is very fast indeed and I like the packing very much. There are useful guides and tips for beginners in your site and it took me less than an hour to assemble the case with Pi Zero W, and I even make the SSH/VNC terminal connection works so that I can access via my notebook. However, I do not have engineering background and find puzzling on the Blinkt!. After some studying, I have decided to purchase additional stuff (i.e. hammer head (solderless), Hat Pro/Hat Pro Kit and camera). I hope to make lots of fun from my Pi Zero W when I receive these accessories some time next week.

I am totally new to Pi and this is my first time to purchase stuff from Pimoroni. My Pi Zero W kit arrived my office (in Hong Kong) about a week from order. To me, it is very fast indeed and I like the packing very much. It took me less than an hour to assemble the case and Pi Zero and also configured network and remote terminal (SSH/VNC). There are also lots of useful guides and tips for beginner in your site. However, I indeed do not have engineering background and find puzzling on the blinkt!. After some studying, I have decided to order additional stuff (i.e. hammer header (solderless), Hat Pro/ Hat Pro Kit and camera). I hope to make lots of fun out of these accessories with my Pi Zero W when I receive them sometime next week.

The bundle is the perfekt kit for beginners. - housing for the Pi Zero W - all required cables and parts to get it running - Blinkt allows you to actually start coding and toying around - a PP case to carry your stuff wherever you want Would recommend everyone who is interested in Raspberry to start with this kit.

The pi zero W was the perfect little computer to help me make my wireless weather station. I have used the Pi zero to connect my weather station to the weather underground site using custom drivers and the open source software Weewx. The PiBow case was also perfect for securing the Raspberry pi to my weather station module with a little sugru rubber glue. All in all its a really great little kit!!
