I am thoroughly disappointed with my recent purchase of the Gertboard. There was NO documentation with it other than a CD giving “advanced” tools. You don't even say HOW to connect it to the RasPi. Nor do you provide any pdf data sheet!
In this age why must I be expected to find a PC with an internet connection then SEARCH your site for information which should be available to me from the beginning or as a bare minimum EASILY obtainable. There was a CD provided with 500MB of free space and you couldn't squeeze some useful information on that.
If that wasn't bad enough now you expect me to request a login to to be “allowed” to get BASIC information on how to use it. Which, incidentally, I tried 9 times to do without success. After 4 attempts to use a password YOU were happy with THEN 5 attempts for a user name and each time a different capcha, all I want is a freaking DATA SHEET AND BASIC INSTRUCTIONS! How secure a login do I need for that???????
You placed barriers between this Gertboard and me using it at every stage. Thanks.
I will be returning it to Farnell and not recommending it for our college students.
Every appliance or electronic product I have bought has come with an instruction manual of some sort, all except one.
I took my RasPi and a Gertboard with me on holiday away from the internet and I couldn't do a damn thing with it. Not even connect it to the RasPi.
Pathetic.
