Review: Great product, instructions not very good though. - Great product. I bought to start learning PCL for a future job opportunity. The instructions are not very thorough though. It says 20 hours of instruction which I think is misleading. I watched a number of YouTube videos for free instead. Review: Common Problem - won't connect / can't use it / no solutions - Buy another, pay a little more! - I should have read and believed the other reviews. I spent probably 12 hours and got nowhere and every indication from every post online indicated I wasn't alone! I'm a pretty hardcore tech guy and have been since I was a kid, so at 50+ .... it wasn't user error, I've been around tech and in tech professions since I was a kid! Like I said, read the reviews or just search for the PLC + setup problems, or help setting up or anything and you'll see what I ignored apparently (or didn't ask right questions) ... that this is far more the norm for these PLCs (never even getting a single connection one time through every way feasible X4) ... than the exception. Pay a little more, get something that you at least have a hope of being successful getting it to acknowledge a connection at least! ## Features - The Arduino PLC Starter Kit [AKX00051] is an all-in-one educational solution for learning industrial automation.
