I was able to get the LED to blink using C Code no problem. I input the pathway to the Python code folder and that worked, however when I entered the execute code I got this error...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Blink.py", line 33, in <module>
setup()
File "Blink.py", line 15, in setup
GPIO.setup(ledPin, GPIO.OUT) # Set ledPin's mode is output
RuntimeError: No access to /dev/mem. Try running as root!
Next I moved on to the LED with the button. C Code works fine.
Python...
"python: can't open file 'ButtonLED.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory exists"
This is false because I can go into the filemanager and see it clear as day.
The lightwater project was slightly different because when I input the C code the terminal said
"program is starting"
But nothing happened on the LED bar.
python code I the error similar to the Python code except line 17 and 35.
Please help me! I know very little about programming and electrical work and heard great things about RPi and I'd hate to get stonewalled and frustrated on day 2!
Re: Freenove ultimate starter kit errors galore!
Welcome to the Raspberry Pi forums.
It seems this "Ultimate Starter Kit" - probably not an official Raspberry Pi Foundation product - has some problems.
It seems to be based on a version of the Raspbian Operating System that must be at least 3 years old and has been superceded.
You might be able to run the Blink demo by trying
By reference to what might be the GitHub repository for the product it seems the ButtonLED code might be named 02.1.1_ButtonLED?
Although these hints might help you make short term progress I recommend you raise your concerns with the vendor/supplier of the kit. I fear you will continue to encounter difficulties that will cause you frustration.

Re: Freenove ultimate starter kit errors galore!
I was comparing source codes on git hub and everything was updated around 20 ish days ago so I'd assume that most things are up to date.
