## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks great
*by L***E on 14 July 2018*

Ok although I've yet to actually use it, initially I'm quite impressed its very nicely made. My only real niggle is a complete absence of any documentation. It would have been nice to have a Circuit diagram printed, the reverse of the board is beautifully printed but you can't see it when you're working on it guys! Also another niggle is that there are only two posts on the LCD screen even though there are holes for four (just troubles my OCD) . Overall though it's well made and quite solid (no flex at all). Well worth the price nice bit of kit very well thought out.
