The Explorer pHAT is the perfect prototyping side-kick for your Raspberry Pi. Based on Pimoroni's popular Explorer Hat Pro, this is a smaller cheaper version designed to fit perfectly on a Raspberry Pi Zero!

A heap of useful input and output options have been added that will take your projects to the next level. Great for driving motors, using analog sensors, and interfacing with 5V sensors & systems

Though designed to match the format of the Raspberry Pi Zero it is compatible with all 40-pin GPIO Raspberry Pi variants (2/B+/A+).

Features:

Python API

Four analog inputs - A tidy way to integrate analog signals into your project.

Two H-bridge motor drivers - Drive two 5V motors bidirectionally with up to 200mA per channel. Ideal with our micro-metal gear-motors to create the perfect little buggy! You can even soft-PWM for full speed control.

Four buffered 5V tolerant inputs - Hook up your Pi to accept input from 5V systems (like Arduino Uno/Leonardo or 5V Trinkets). We've used a 5-channel buffer that will accept anything from 2V-5V as logic high.

Four powered 5V outputs (up to 500mA!) - The onboard darlington array can supply up to 500mA per channel (but you'll be limited to driving around 1A total from the board). Ideal for stepper motors, solenoids, and relays.

Kit includes: Assembled Explorer HAT PCB, one 2x20 0.1" female GPIO header, and one 1x20 0.1" female header. Some light soldering is required to attach the header on, or you can of course solder the pHAT right onto the Pi Zero

Raspberry Pi not included!

Having a discrete, slick, and tidy power supply is always tricky when taking a project on the go...but get ready to roam the earth worry free with the tiny little Pimoroni LiPo Shim! It aims to give you the most compact power supply possible for all versions of Raspberry Pi.

You can either solder the 0.8mm thick PCB directly to the bottom of your GPIO header for a permanent solution or solder on the provided 2x6 0.1" female header which will allow you to remove your LiPo Shim at any time (but will block the GPIO pins).

It uses the TPS61232 Step-Up Boost Converter from Texas Instruments which offers up to 96% efficiency. The board includes power on and battery low indicator LEDs. During shutdown (due to undervoltage or external selection) the quiescent current is just 15uA sip.

Please note: This is not a charger, you will need a separate charger to keep your LiPo/LiIon batteries juiced up! We recommend using our Micro Lipo to top up your battery.

Features:

0.8mm thick PCB

Shaped to sit as low as possible on the Raspberry Pi 3, 2, Zero, A+, B+

2-pole JST connector ideal for most LiPo/LiIon batteries

Power and low battery LED indicators

Supplies up to 1.5A continuous current

Low battery warning at 3.4V (assets GPIO #4 high)

Automatic shutdown at 3.0V to protect your battery

VBAT+, GND, and EN pins available to break out

15uA quiescent current

If music be the food of love, play on. But make sure you use this super little pHAT DAC to get the best out of your Raspberry Pi audio!

The pHAT DAC provides a super affordable high-quality DAC for the Raspberry Pi. Pumping out 24-bits at 192KHz of audio goodness from the Raspberry Pi's I2S interface on the 2x20 pin GPIO header. Since it's digital audio, it sounds really good, much better than the onboard analog audio. The 3.5mm stereo jack comes soldered onto the board already.

Though designed to match the format of the Raspberry Pi Zero it is compatible with all 40-pin GPIO Raspberry Pi variants (2/B+/A+).

Features:

24-bit audio at 192KHz

Line out stereo jack

pHAT format board

Uses the PCM5102A DAC to work with the Raspberry Pi I2S interface

Kit includes: Assembled pHAT DAC & 2x20 0.1" female GPIO header, some light soldering is required to attach the header on, or you can of course solder the pHAT right onto the Pi Zero

At the heart of pHAT DAC is Texas Instrument's PCM5102A stereo audio DAC chip. Raspberry Pi not included!

One can never have enough socks, or USB ports. Add some more USB capability to your Raspberry Pi Zero with the Zero4U!

This is a 4-port USB hub for Raspberry Pi Zero, and it can be mounted back-to-back onto a Pi Zero. The 4 pogo pins on the back will connect the PP1, PP6, PP22 and PP23 testing pads on your Raspberry Pi Zero – no soldering required!

This item can only work with the Zero W if a ferrite ring is installed!

The USB hub will take power directly from your Pi Zero, so you don’t need to power the USB hub separately. However you can use the JST XH2.54 connector on board as an alternative power input port. The blue onboard LED is the power indicator, and will light up when power is connected. Each USB port uses a dedicated white LED as a transaction indicator, and a dedicated electrolytic capacitor to help stabilize the output voltage.

If you use this USB hub with other types of computers, you can use a USB cable (not included) to connect the onboard mini-USB port to the up-stream USB port.

Kit includes:

4-port USB hub board x 1

Plastic spacer x 4

M2.5 plastic screw x 4

M2.5 plastic nut x 4

Note: This version of Zero4U only works with the Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 (with camera connector).

Note: As of 3/29/2017, this ships with a small Ferrite ring in each Zero4U package, in order to support the newly released Raspberry Pi Zero W. The user can put that Ferrite ring on the pogo pins to avoid the interference from the on-board antenna.

PiJack is a HAT (yes, a proper HAT, not a pHAT!) add-on board for the Raspberry Pi Zero mini computer that makes connecting your Pi Zero to the Internet via Ethernet super simple. If you're fed up with flaky WiFi and want your Pi Zero to be online all the time, then this HAT is for you!

PiJack is a neat little board with an Ethernet controller and standard RJ45 connector so you can hook your Pi up to your home or office network using standard Ethernet cables. PiJack is ready to go – there's no special software or drivers to install. It works right out of the box with Raspbian – simply attach PiJack to your Pi's GPIO header and plug it in!

Features:

10Mbps Ethernet connection

Two blinky LEDs for connection status

HAT-standard-compliant EEPROM makes setup automatic, works straight away with Raspbian!

Uses the Pi Zero's GPIO pins, your USB connector is still free for something else!

Note: Pi Zero and Ethernet cable not included!

PiJack is well engineered and uses high quality components and connectors (that won't snap off the first time you use it!). PiJack is built in the EU, and every board is tested to make sure it'll work for you first time.

The Pimoroni Speaker pHAT crams an I2S DAC and mono amplifier, a tiny 8Ω 2W speaker, and a 10 LED bar graph all onto one teeny little pHAT. It's the neatest way to add audio to your Pi project, and its beautiful artwork evokes an 80s boombox!

Pimoroni isn't claiming audiophile sound quality, but it's perfect for fun little projects where you want to add sound output – speech, notification sounds, or light music, for example.

Why not combine it with a little USB microphone to make a tiny voice-activated assistant in the style of Amazon's Echo? Or set up a simple Flask API and send audio notifications to it from IFTTT with a simple HTTP request.

It comes as a kit, so you'll have to solder on the female 40 pin header, and screw and solder the speaker on. Check out Pimoroni's assembly guide for more details.

Features:

I2S audio DAC with 3W mono amplifier (MAX98357A)

Default output of 0.45W/26.5dB

8Ω 2W Mylar speaker

Routed holes to channel sound

10 bright white bar graph LEDs

Looking for an unashamedly old school LED matrix display board? Lookie here! The Pimoroni Micro Dot pHAT is made up of six red LED matrices, each 5x7 pixels (for an effective display area of 30x7) plus a decimal point, using the beautiful little Lite-On LTP-305 matrices.

Perfect for building a retro scrolling message display, a tiny 30-band spectrum analyzer, or a retro clock. Far out!

As with the other pHATs, it works with all of the 40-pin Raspberry Pi variants - 3/2/B+/A+/Zero - but using it with the Pi Zero makes for a super-tiny package.

Features:

3x onboard IS31FL3730 LED matrix driver chips

Drives up to 6 x LTP-305 red LED matrices

Up to 30x7 pixels (5x7 per matrix plus a decimal point)

Kit includes:

Assembled Micro Dot pHAT PCB

2x20 0.1" female GPIO header

6 Red LTP-305 LED modules

Micro Dot pHAT also works well with other pHATs and HATs. You could use it in combination with pHAT DAC to display the audio spectrum, or with Enviro pHAT to display its temperature, pressure and light readings. Give it a try!

Note: These pHAT boards require you to solder on the headers and LTP-305 modules (through-hole components). Works with any 40-pin Raspberry Pi variant.

The first 'official' Pi Zero case from the Raspberry Pi Foundation is here in Raspberry Pi's sleek pink and white! While we've had our own classic Pi Zero case for a little while now, the Pi Foundation celebrates the release of the Pi Zero W with this impressive, well-designed effort that is definitely what we've come to expect from the folks who made the Raspberry Pi.

The case comes in four parts – a pink base and three different options for the top of the case, all of which are white. You can snap on lids according to how you're using your Pi Zero. If you want to utilize your Pi Zero's GPIO pins, there's one lid with a cut-out above the pins for more flexibility. Or, if you're not a fan of seeing your Pi, there's a white lid that conveniently fills in the gap. Lastly, there's a neat lid with a small circular hole in the center for snapping in a Raspberry Pi Camera Board!

This case's smart design and customizability makes it a worthy addition to the Pi case genre! It also comes with a little bonus: a 1.5" mini camera cable! Great if you want to add a Pi Camera to your Zero W or v1.3, it's a compact alternative to the standard lengthier cable.

This product includes the case base with three lids, mini camera cable, and rubber bumper feet. It does not come with a Raspberry Pi or other components. It's designed for the Pi Zero W but will also work with Pi Zero v1.3. We also offer the Pi Foundation's official case for the Pi 3, B+ and Pi 2.
