Great Robot Car, the Project and Tech Support
I purchased the Robot Car as fun project for my grandkids and as a part of their ongoing STEM Learning process. I must say that the car for the Amazon price is a great bargain. When it comes to assembling the car, the Youtube video and tutorial, along with lot of other Freenove and Raspberry Pi resources are big help and provide in assembling it. I must say I have lot of experience with assembling stuff and repairing, and after following the Tutorial I had no trouble completing the assembly. It was a difficult task for the grandkids given very small screws and care needed.Testing of the modules was pretty straightforward until I came to testing the camera. From my past experience, I was using PuTTy (SSH app to connect to the Raspberry Pi) and sometimes used the VNC also. But the camera test did not work when testing from Terminal window of PuTTy. I checked all connections (particularly the camera cable) and configuration details mentioned in the video and tutorial. Everything seemed correct. The "camera.py" test generated lots of errors when running it from Putty Terminal. I looked up Raspberry Pi support pages on camera and it mentioned trying "libcamera" app that comes with the OS. And that worked fine and generated camera images with any errors.The camera app mentioned in the tutorial still did not work. So I decided to seek help from Freenove support team. I sent initial email with the details of the problem I was having and the errors that I was getting. They came back quickly, in less than 24 hours, and asked for some pictures of camera connections and output from couple commands to check configuration. They told me to run the camera test from VNC (Terminal window in VNC instead of PuTTy). I repeated the test and it worked without any errors. They explained that the app needs come of the GUI and needs to be run from VNC. Anyway, the problem was resolved fairly quickly and I must say that the support and response time was excellent.I have been retired for a decade now and as IT professional previously I always used PuTTy. I am kind of disappointed about that. It is probably because of the way the Freenove app is written. For now the car is ready to complete testing different modes and for my grandkids to play with it and learn programming.

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2022
Bought this product to have programming made fun. Action to commands and video feed, very nice. Why the 4 star overall? It does not work yet with the 64-bit Raspberry software, only works on 32-bit software or you must skip the camera action. Proper help from support, but should be mentioned that 32-bit is required.
