Fantastic Kit! Great for use with Kodi
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this kit after using Kodi on the Amazon Fire Stick as I found that the Fire Stick was slow and got really hot when streaming movies etc. The Raspberry Pi on the other hand, is significantly faster and easy to use (once it's all been set up). This is the latest edition which means it also has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth which is great, I'd recommend downloading the Kodi Remote App which is available free on iOS and Android. I'd also recommend getting a small fan and gluing it in the top of the case, connecting it to the 5V and ground IO pins on the board for better cooling (although it never really gets hot). Overall really happy, this kit has everything to get up and running!

Great little solenoid!
I bought this solenoid as part of a project that I was working on, where I wanted to ring a bell (the type found on hotel lobby counters) via 5/6V DC. This worked very well and has a responsive action with good force. Overall very happy!

Electrician review, good value overall....
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this power supply on a budget for my (basic) electronics lab. I work as a qualified electrician so it's always fun to review dubious items on eBay. I noticed that it's very similar to many other 'brands' (or re-brands) on eBay and overall they have had mixed reviews from "amazing" to "caught on fire during use".... so naturally I was keen to see for myself. Here's my pro's and con's:
Pro's:
- The unit does indeed meet (and slightly exceed) it's 30V / 10A ratings
- I tested the outputs, the voltage & current display is surprisingly accurate for both
- Tested a constant 10A load over several hours with no issues, it kept nice and cool
- Output banana plugs can connect bare wire which is handy (unscrew. insert, tighten)
- The unit includes constant voltage & constant current modes which works well
- Quality seems good - robust construction which is electrically safe, good fit & finish
Con's:
- The crocodile clips provided aren't good, very fragile with thin conductors (get's warm)
- The 'fine-adjust' dials for both CV & CC are too coarse, but do work however
- When you're using the CV mode, you can't see the CC setting (and visa-versa)
- The units fan can be very noisy even with no load attached, seems unnecessary
- There's no load-switch for the output which is annoying, and the manual states that the main power button on the front should not be used to turn on the unit with a load attached
Overall I think this unit is great considering it's low price, it's a decent quality with accurate results and perfect if you're on a low-budget. However don't compare this to the big-brands which cost considerably more. I would recommend it to those on a tight budget, and even those with big-brand power supplies to be used as a backup.
