![]() ![]() Be advised that there is also a Starter Kit, which can be confusing. ![]() I'm now on round two of attempting to get them to reset whatever is hosed in their system or provide me with a new authentication code. ![]() I was told again to login with the originally-provided account/pw pair which didn't work before and still don't work (I get an error from their page reading "WRONG EMAIL OR PASSWORD" and nothing more) or to enter the authentication code again, which also still doesn't work. UPDATE 3/9/21: After waiting for days for a response from Arduino support and they got back to me with some boilerplate which made it clear they hadn't read my email or looked into the situation. I'd strongly recommend giving Arduino a pass and going for an alternative such as Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone or other. Why they've got their online lessons locked down like Fort Knox is beyond me - who is trying to steal the lessons but not buying the hardware? It's also worth noting that upon initial registration/authorization I was explicitly informed that the auth code could be used later to access content in the case of a login issue and was told to keep the original login information - which turned out to be invalid after our first use of it. Maybe they'll clean up their mess quickly and nicely but my confidence is low based on the above. We now have a service ticket in to Arduino since we can't access the lessons, making the kit all but worthless for its intended function. Finally, we were able to sign my student on - *but were prompted to enter the original authorization code from the kit again which NOW THEIR SYSTEM TREATED AS ALREADY REDEEMED AND INVALID.Ħ. After some gnashing of teeth I found I could reset her password via my new, unwanted Arduino account.ĥ. Once approved, *neither of my student's logins worked*. Having created new login credentials we were blocked by the requirement that a parent needed to sign off on the new account, which for some reason required me to create and verify an Arduino account for myself (with the attendant spam email checkboxes to uncheck).Ĥ. Attempting to review profile info or login status got us stuck with prompts to enter a birthdate, this was followed by a redirect insisting that a new set of login credentials be created for the student.ģ. No login page was ever given (our first and so far only session was initiated through the kit registration url provided) - when we attempted to login we initially found ourselves in an ambiguous login state.Ģ. My daughter and I had an excellent time starting the online lesson plan included with this kit but after our first session were unable to access the critical online content (no printed instructions/lessons are provided) due to a Keystone-Cops-esque series of failures of the Arduino website.ġ. ![]()
