A good value product
I bought this for a project at good value, simple to assemble but would have been better if the assembly instructions came with it rather than having to search online for them...

No instructions included, online documentation does not match the product
No instructions included, parts do not match the board, online documentation does not match the product.I eventually worked out how to get the product working but then it failed after a few minutes.

Totally confusing and disjointed documentation
Simply nothing matches up, all I can say is the PCB itself is good quality, the documentation is truly awful. Of the two poorly drawn and badly marked diagrams they don't have the same info like component identification, R1 C1 etc. i.e. one has these the other does not. Various things not documented like what J2 etc. (covered up once components installed ! ) do. Diagrams are back to front compared with industry standards. Various projects are suggested but not a single one is actually documented so you are not sure what components to add, or if they will work with certain components missing (like the transistor).It would also help if the pi-out of the 555 were shown 9so you could figure out how the PCB is paid out.Tracing through the PCB to see what is connected where is tedious, when it could be easily shown what is needed for a certain application.Some items are not marked like the potentiometers so you don't know which is which, and turned to one end they seem to go open circuit etc. etc.Would I buy again, NO.
