Vilros Raspberry Pi Zero W Basic Starter Kit- Black Case Edition-Inclu

Order arrived quickly. Case is rugged and handles the camera well. GPIO pins are exposed enough to attach at HAT. Power supply handles the Pi Zero and OLED w/o reporting low power. If you can’t find just the board, the package with soldered header is useful.

Great kit, price and shipping etc.The power supply micro USB got stuck inside the port on the Raspberry Pi the first time I plugged it in. It took lots of careful fiddling to get it out with ripping the port off the PCB. I bent some of the metal and used a very small amount of oil on the metal parts. Seems okay now.Otherwise, fit and finish of the case and accessories is quite good.

All you need for using your Raspberry PI Zero W as a "interface device"

Great package! I Love it! Works with other computers well, as well as, using it singulaily. Great design that uses barely any watts to run a "light show" device with the GPIO!!! :-) And, the case in the package works great for "isolating" the Pi Zero W from any "static discharge" problems. The only problem I found was that it did not "play well" with "expanding" the USB bus with a "4-port expander"...but, with VNC and SSL , that "hiccup" was easily solved. And..., for under 20$(US) you can't expect too much "desktop computer" capability. Thank you Vilros for a good "package" with a great computer. :-)

FAST SHIPPING! GREAT PACKAGING! EXCELLENT KIT!

It arrived quickly with genuine Rasp Pi board + The Vilros parts of the kit are excellent! Thank you!

Great kit for a great price!

Great starter kit for an awesome price! Comes with everything you need to get started with a raspberry pi zero. The case has three different lid options. One for a camera module, one for the gpio header and one solid cover. Heatsink is also included which is nice because the Pi zero seems to get toasty at times even just running pihole. USB hub and power supply work great! Everything seems to be of excellent quality. Very nice kit. I would highly recommend!

Great product at an ok price.

The shipping was fast The packaging was very well done. It is a perfect starter kit. I highly recommend it if you can find them in stock. It is very convenient that the power supply has an on and off switch so you don't have to unplug and replug that micro USB every time. I hope that the next version of the PI zero comes with USB-C.

Kit does NOT come with a micro sd...

Kit does NOT come with a micro sd card. So I would not call it a starter kit. I understand you might have to charge a few $ more, but at least make it clear that the kit does not come with parts that are necessary for beginners and then provide the option for some reasonable price to add a micro sd card to the list. As it stands, I now have to order an SD card and wait a week to get this thing to turn on. Tech support explained that nothing was technically missing from my kit, and perhaps I should have scrutinized the parts list, but as another starter kit I ordered from Vilros contained the NOOBs care and as it's not much of a starter kit if you can't actually boot the system, it never occurred to me that it would be missing. Annoyed.

Nice, but.

It was nice to have all the accessories to make this function. Unf. (guessing due to chip shortage? to bump the price to make it more exclusive) you have to buy the whole kit rather than just buying the board because it's sold out. The clear plastic case just had posts the board sits on. I wouldn't say it snapped into the pins. The force of the cables easily moved the board off the posts, dislodging it from it's "snapped in" position. Wish there were screws to secure it to the bottom of the case. Maybe a buying error, but feedback for the case. I didn't need the case, could have 3D printed one. I didn't need a sack to store it in. I didn't need a camera mount. I had a RPi that I could have used the other HDMI and USB adapters for, so didn't need those. Just needed ... MoreIt was nice to have all the accessories to make this function. Unf.

I like the integrated power switch. I bought this kit because it was the only way to get the board. Hope the chip shortage eases soon. Paid $45 for a kit when the board is listed for $10. The remainder of the kit isn't worth $35. Thanks for at least having stock available during this time. Won't ding too many stars, but it would have been nice to buy only what I needed at a lower price.

Phenominal

I bought this to build a GamePi20 Console for retrogaming. The raspberry pi worked wonders. It was also a great experience learning how to build a headless install of Raspberry Pi OS. the attachments and accessories are worth the extra money even though i only needed the board with soldered pins.

setting up the Vilros Pi Zero kit

Quick shipping, No response with my email to Vilros, don't know if it was from no one working because of the Corona virus. It took a while to get it working, because the micro SD card needed to be a name brand, any old SD card would not work I tried 3 different ones. one thing to keep in mind, you need to drill a hole in the case to see the act light (the case is opaque) the light does not come on, and it appears dead until it boots from a good SD card. You have to download from the website. Absolutely no instructions included in the kit. Be ready to do research. It is a nice kit and has most of what you need except SD card and software. You also need a compatible usb hub if you want to connect a keyboard
