Customer Reviews
The Hiwonder MentorPi is a solid, well-built kit that comes with clear instructions and plenty of background information to help you understand not just how things work, but why. This makes it a great learning tool as well as a fun hands-on experience.
Where this kit really stands out is the customer service. I had a few questions along the way, and the support team has been great to work with providing quick responses and helpful information.
Overall, the MentorPi delivers on quality, learning, and support. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants both a reliable kit and a company that truly backs up their product.
I purchased the hardware necessary for autonomous driving learning, and it has simple but essential functions. The code you sent was also very useful for learning.
I understand that product on assemble will work immediately but I want to understand the functionality of each assembled product; Do we get book to understand on how each things work and can we have Python program to learn the coding used by this product.
Hi there, thank you for reaching out! This tutorial link for your reference: https://www.hiwonder.com.cn/store/learn/146.html
Hello dear Hiwonder,
Thank you for this very beautifully made rover. I am using it to learn your systems. I must say I love it. It is very well designed and suits the purpose, kudos to Hiwonder. :) 😀 👍♥️🙆🏻🧚🏻🤩
Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
I understand that the robots are disassembled when you buy them, but are these robots already configured and ready to work when you buy them or do I need to configure each peripheral and install the drivers and operating systems?
The robot will be ready to use once you complete the assembly and wiring.
