GeeekPiBasic Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico/Pico W, BreadBoard Kit with Half-Size Breadboard and Jumper Wire Pack for Raspberry Pi Pico/Pico W (Raspberry Pi Pico/Pico W Not Included)

Everything works great and the quality is really good. Highly recommend it.

I am very happy with the kit with two minor exceptions. The breadboard had minor cracks, but those did not impact functionality. The buzzer would sound whenever I applied power. I found a solution through a Google search (connected "beep" terminal to ground one time).

All functions on this testbed worked as advertised. It saves having to wire up buttons and LEDs for testing. The buzzer ("BEEP") is handy also as a continuity tester if nothing else.Note that pins GP10, GP11, GP12 (at least; are there others?) are "In Use" by this board and are not available to you.While it is nice they threw in a bunch of M-M wires, most of the things I use this board for need F-F. But we all have those lying around...

The board seems to operate fine and more often than not has a piercing whistling sound when I connect the board to my computer. The directions say to ground a certain pin but that doesn’t solve the issue.

There are a lot of reviews about the broken buzzer. Buzzer is not broken. The pin is floating by default. So it can start buzzing randomly. Just connect the BEEP pin to GND to mute.

My Pico Breadboard Starter Kit arrived broken, The onboard buzzer would not stop buzzing. (and you can't ignore it!) I tried troubleshooting the board and found a supposed fix on the 52Pi site, tried it and no joy. I then tried the GeekPi support email and after a few minutes the email came back as undeliverable. I would have given the Pico Breadboard Starter Kit a 3 star review for the broken buzzer and maybe updated it after I receive a replacement but with the tech support email address not working I am giving them a 1 star and leaving it at that.

The built-in speaker is driven by a FET with an open gate -that's a problem. I added a 10megohm resistor from P7beep pin to any of the white GND pins found on top of the breadboard. This modification fixed that annoying 2KHz tone you hear when you first apply power to the breadboard. Other than that, this is what I need to learn more about Thonny or Python.

The concept is nice for quick prototyping of circuits but the execution is flawed. Check for the schematic on GitHub(GH). The board I got did not exactly look like the GH one but it is close.Had to connect the buzzer pin on the P7 header to GND to stop the buzzer from coming on randomly. As someone else noted, leaving the pin floating is bad and there should be a pull down for this pin on the board. Minus one star for this.Board also arrived with a bunch of badly bent header pins. I managed to bend them back somewhat. Problem most likely stems from poor packaging. Minus one start for this.Overall, I still like the board. If you know what you are doing, it is reasonably OK. If you are a newbie, and you did not understand what I was talking about above, this board is not for you.
