micro:bit Wonder Building Kit (w/o micro:bit Board)

As a followup to my previous review... I located the kit's Wiki page and have built a couple of projects, "Case 01: The Motorcycle" (easy one) and "Case 20: The Smart Airer". The "Materials Required" graphics should be larger and all rods/shafts should indicate a length; it is, otherwise, tedious and frustrating guesswork. The construction steps are pretty good (though larger/higher resolution graphics would be nice). A PDF version of the project instructions definitely should be made available. There are coding bugs that need to be fixed: e.g. for Case 20, "value of water level(0-100) at pin P1" doesn't exist. It should be "analog read pin P1"; a clarifying note in the "Coding" section which explains that pin P1 denotes water level, might be helpful. (An adult supervisor shouldn't need to be a programming expert to figure this stuff out for their child/student.) Although Makecode programs are terrific for younger kids, it would be great to have a parallel Python programming manual; mind you, one can at least see the Python code, after the fact, within the Makecode editor. Some introductory, overview information about the kit is recommended.

I'm impressed with the concept--an excellent, more affordable alternative to Lego Mindstorm that works with the more familiar micro:bit platform. I would easily give this project 5 stars if and when it has more thoughtful documentation. Elecfreaks is onto something good here.

The kit looks quite decent, except the documentation is seriously lacking. Nowhere on or within the packaging is there a URL pointing to the Wiki page for this kit. Now Web based documentation is handy, but it's emphemeral: There should be either a hardcopy manual or a link to a PDF included.
