Great assortment of sensors for your money, just take ages to find the one.
It is an amazing set of sensors for your home project with Raspberry Pi or some other mini pc. Tested a few and found them working so I would assume most if not all of the rest do as well.Just one issue:Almost none have easily-identifiable label or number, naming scheme, ANYTHING. You'll be fishing for the part you want and spending an hour to do so because many look alike.Great value, regardless, and I'll be having fun trying them all out!

Good selection of parts, packaging could be larger
Has almost every part you could want. Wish it were in a larger case. Once you take the parts out, it's tough to get everything to fit back in. Almost like a game of Tetris.

Very nice selection
This is a good set to have for experimenting or prototyping for both Arduino and the Raspberry Pi. It would also work with other microcontroller based systems.

Very nice kit
This is a nice kit with a multitude of sensors, but what makes it great is the extensive documentation. The online material includes connection illustrations and tutorials on how to use the sensors with Arduino, Pi and ESP32 in multiple programming environments.This is ideal for a new learner / experimenter, but would be just as great in a club / classroom settings where students could work on individual or group projects in each session. The availability of cheap Arduino boards and especially ESP32 dev kits allows for a very affordable teaching solution for kids new to microcontroller projects.

Very cool kit
Got this for my husband to tinker with and he's made several creations with it. I just like that it takes up some of his free time.

A Great Variety of Sensors for the Money
The media could not be loaded. SummaryThe best thing about the SunFounder Universal Sensor Kit is that the number and variety of the components justifies the price in my opinion. Although, they lack organization in the packaging of the sensors, everything that was supposed to be there was included in the box. All in all, if you want to have some fun experimenting with a wide variety of sensors, this kit will meet your requirements.I was initially concerned about the lack of resistors, capacitors, leds, etc. but because of the way SunFounder has constructed and modularized these sensors, those other components are totally unnecessary!If SunFounder had supplied a plastic case that held all of the sensors in a compartmentalized manner and their photos matched the sensors exactly, I would have given this product 5 stars.Things I didn’t like:1. I did not appreciate opening the box (extremely packed in the 9 ½ inch wide box) and finding unlabeled, sealed components that were for the most part only identifiable by the included photo. (See photos for 00-original-box and 01-original-contents).2. The original box is too small to adequately use and reuse the sensors since they were all individually sealed in small non-static bags.3. The component that took me the longest to identify was due to the mismatched photo and the actual component. It was the Flame Sensor. I was finally able to see the LM393 stamped faintly on the chip under high power magnifying glass. The reason for the confusion was due to there not being a pinout for AO (Analog Out) unlike what is shown in documentation everywhere. So, the provided sensor is a digital output only, meaning that it is either off or on (fire or no fire) whereas the AO would provide a basis for identifying the intensity of the fire. (see photo for 04-modified-flame-sensor)4. There is no written documentation other than the photos provided with the kit. You have to go online to get to the documentation.5. In addition, you have to download the sample code for all of the components. I found the sample code for one of the modules I tried to test confusing. There were no instructions on how to get the external libraries loaded that were required to run the Real Time Clock module (for example).Things I liked:1. I really liked the fact that all of the modules are self-contained. I have used other sensor kits that had you wire every single component for a circuit on your breadboard. (See photo I named: BAD EXAMPLE.jpg where another vendor's kit had every component separate). Compare that bad example to the video of the Traffic Light (traffic light demo.mp4) where the complete 3 light set is mounted on a single module that is included in this vendor's sensor kit.2. The number and variety of included sensors is almost overwhelming. There wasn’t a single module that I could think was missing from this set.3. Even though nothing was labeled, the included pictures made identification possible.4. The tutorials with the circuit wiring diagram and the included code examples for many processors (ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Pico W) made this truly a universal sensor kit.5. Once I transferred the individual components to a new and separately purchased storage box, I was able to easily access each sensor as needed. (see the 2 photos of repackaged contents).
