Review: Great project, NOT for beginners - customers support is great! - Quality: - The quality of the product is good. - Pieces go together well. - All parts are in-place. - All electronic pieces are working well. Shipping: - Shipping was quick and packaging was good. Handling: This is NOT a project for beginner or a child. This car is not to be played in the manner kids expect to play with remote control cars. This is NOT remote control car. Don't get me wrong, this car is controlled, by you from your Android app or computer because it is a full blown computer on wheels so it is connected to your WiFi. Kids should not drag this car around by hands or bump it in any way - car is bare naked computer with unprocessed fancy sensors attached to it. So should be handled with care. Skills: You should very comfortable very with computers and computer hardware parts. Troubleshooting experience will come handy and especially with Linux operating system - you must be comfortable with Linux terminal and various commands. Medium level Python programming skills will make this project easier. Sometimes you have to use common sense when connecting wires (for example camera wire) as photo on instructions are not precise sometime. However the manual is well made and covers A LOT OF STUFF, so if you are patient - you will get there and will still have some remaining hear you haven't manage to pull yet. Issues: The only issue I discovered is that wheels spin in reverse direction so when you press forward they go backwards and left and right are also reversed. This makes many things unusable. I wrote email to their tech support and got response in about two day - which I find very reasonable. First one to swap cables on the motor (which would require soldering iron) and another one is to make changes to the Python code in Motor.py and "-" in from of four "(dutyX)" lines. Despite the fact that updating was was way easier, I chose to swap wires for fun - haven't soldered anything in years. Other than that everything worked perfectly. MUST HAVE: Car needs two 18650 batteries. My recommendation is to buy 4-pack and a charger. These batteries power up a computer (RaspberryPi) with additional board, four powerful motors, many sensors, LED light, buzzer and camera. If you use the car actively the batteries will drain in about 2 hours which is not bad - so having a spare back will definitely help. FINAL NOTE: This is a great car and you can do anything with it. Great for learning programming and machine learning (ML). You could learn and apply all modern technologies and build amazing project. I am looking forward to updating the server part and train the car to learn various algorithm such as Reinforcement Learning. This car can to the same thing desertcart DeepRacer does because you can apply all the same technologies but desertcart DeepRacer is about $399 so I could not justify this as I can do the same thing on this car. ENJOY!
Review: This little car has a lot going for it but mine had a couple of problems - The well designed parts and 128 page instruction manual including the computer code make this car easy to assemble and operate. The ability to handle the testing of each module on a PC via RealVNC facilitates testing, and the phone app provides steering and speed control as well as control of the LED lights, camera and switching to other modes of operation. Tech support provides 24 hour responses via email and was very helpful for straightforward problems. All in all this kit offers a lot for the money and earns a five star rating. However, I encountered a couple problems that should have been handled better and distracted from my overall enjoyment of the project. Next to control from a phone the most useful function is the obstacle avoidance using the ultrasonic sensor for control. The ultrasonic sensor that came with the car kit was defective and was replaced after three weeks for overseas shipping. However, the replacement sensor was also defective, and in spite of my detailed documentation of the problem Freenove refused to replace it. I had an ultrasonic sensor from another project which I was able to use but it had intermittent errors that severely compromised this important function. The other problem was less serious but annoying and time consuming. The code downloaded to control the car had an error which applied less than a third the required power to the wheels for forward motion. Therefore, the car refused to move resulting in several days of emails blaming the problem on the batteries before I finally traced it to the code error. It has been three weeks since this problem was reported to Freenove and a download of the code today showed the error had not been corrected.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can i download detailed tutorial (pdf) with 110 pages and complete code (python) from?**
A: Hi! The download link can be found on the product box. (No paper tutorial.)
The download link is: http://freenove.com/fnk0043

**Q: Does the software for the robot include the qt designer files, so the ui can be modified?**
A: Dear customer,
Yes, the data contains all code files,
UI is based on qt, If you are familiar with python and qt, you can modify the UI.

**Q: what is the resolution of the camera module**
A: Hi, resolution is very acceptable if you know the pi camera from before because is the same camera, but I am using a raspberry pi 3+ as a controller but I an sure if you use a raspberry 4, the video will improve in general

**Q: I don't know anything about coding, at all.  Is it possible to copy and paste the code into the Python app?**
A: You should be able to copy the code into the python app

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well for someone wanting to get into robotics cheaply.
*by D***D on October 16, 2020*

Pros: - Car works mostly as advertised - Fairly feature packed (motors, servos, camera, sensors, leds, line tracking, ultrasonic sensor, buzzer, etc..) - Instructions are fairly detailed with only a few weak points. - Software mostly works out of the box. - The server for connecting via an android app over wifi works, though the frame rate is slow and it is hard to control the car over it effectively. Cons: - This is very sensitive to the batteries you use. If your batteries cannot provide full voltage you may have trouble with the pi losing power at full throttle on the motors. - The camera and ultrasonic 'head' mount are connected via a separate piece that uses servos to allow it to move around. This is nice when the device is still, but leads to extremely unstable video when the car is moving because the mount is so weak. - Raspberry pi wifi out of the box drops a lot on battery. Turning off power managment for wifi helped immensely - Had to play with the motors to get them connected up in software correctly (doesn't match up with which ones are connected where). Overall this is a good base for a Raspberry Pi robot for those just getting started who knows there way around python and linux already. Some suggestions if you order this: * Read the supplied battery instructions in the freenove github website BEFORE ordering * Buy/Borrow a separate USB/USBc power supply for your Raspberry pi to use while setting up and testing. * Get a raspberry pi 4 vs an older model to get faster video
