Raspberry Pi / Prototyping / Model A & B

Now that you've finally got your hands on a Raspberry Pi® , you're probably itching to make some fun embedded computer projects with it. What you need is an add on prototyping Pi Plate from Adafruit, which can snap onto the Pi PCB (and is removable later if you wish) and gives you all sorts of prototyping goodness to make building on top of the Pi super easy. Note: This kit is best used for the Raspberry Pi Model A or Model B. You...

By popular demand! We now have a way to attach a Raspberry Pi computer to a plastic 'dish' with a full-sized breadboard. We designed it carefully to make it as easy as possible to attach and detach the Pi. There are two ways to mount the Pi on to the plate, so you can flip it around for your convenience. Next to the Pi is a spot for a full sized breadboard, plenty of space for your project even if you're using an Adafruit Cobbler...

Now that you've finally got your hands on a Raspberry Pi® , you're probably itching to make some fun embedded computer projects with it. What you need is an assembled add on prototyping Pi T-Cobbler from Adafruit, which can break out all those tasty power, GPIO, I2C and SPI pins from the 26 pin header onto a solderless breadboard. This mini kit will make "cobbling together" prototypes with the Pi super easy. Designed for...

We put a PermaProto quarter-sized proto board in a blender with a Pi Cobbler and out emerged this very tasty confection - the PermaProto for Pi! It has the Cobbler baked right in. Simply solder the 2x13 pin header in and you get all the labeled breakouts with tons of prototyping space, power rails, mounting holes and that gorgeous silk. Customers have asked us to carry basic perf-board, but we never liked the look of most basic perf: its always...

Having difficulty attaching a PCB? This kit is especially useful when there are no mounting holes - as with the original Raspberry Pi. Instead of gluing, taping, epoxying, etc. use these elegant standoffs. They have these round hook things that are designed to grip standard 0.062" thickness PCBs either by the edge or by the corner. Comes in a pack of 4 with matching #6 thread forming screws. Ideal for use with up to 1/8" mounting...

Connect your own PCB to a Raspberry Pi with this extra-tall female header. The female header part has extra spaces to make it 13.6mm tall: when placed on your Pi, a PCB will clear the Ethernet and USB jacks. This header has 3mm of pins, compared with our stacking version which is the same base height but has 9.7mm height instead. With 3mm you don't have to cut the really long pins, so its ideal for basic Pi plate design You'll get one...

The "poor woman's" Raspberry Pi cobbler! This combo of 2x13 pin (0.1 spaced) header and socket is for our popular GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Model A and B.  It comes in two parts, a 'pin-through' socket and a male header. The socket straddles the center of a breadboard or Perma-Proto and then header plugs into the top of the socket. Since IDC cables are so standard, but a royal pain to use with...

This board makes connecting wires to the Raspberry Pi GPIO incredibly easy.  It's a reference board that makes it really easy to see if you're connecting your wires correctly.  We liked the Pi GPIO Reference Board from Low Voltage Labs so much that we worked with them to license their design! We made some changes to the Low Voltage version - including grouping the pins into categories like I2C, IO, UART, SPI, and power....

We put a PermaProto full-sized proto board in a blender with a Pi Cobbler and out emerged this very tasty confection - the 40-Pin PermaProto for Pi! It has the Cobbler baked right in. Simply solder the 2x20 box header in, and you get all the labeled breakouts with tons of prototyping space, power rails, mounting holes and that gorgeous silk. This version is for modern Raspberry Pi computers with 2x20 connectors such as the Pi B+, A+, 2, 3, 4,...

We put a PermaProto half-sized proto board in a blender with a Pi Cobbler and out emerged this very tasty confection - the 40-Pin PermaProto for Pi! It has the Cobbler baked right in. Simply solder the 2x20 box header in, and you get all the labeled breakouts with extra prototyping space, power rails, mounting holes and that gorgeous silk. This version is for modern Raspberry Pi computers with 2x20 connectors such as the Pi B+, A+, 2, 3, 4,...

Now that you've finally got your hands on a Raspberry Pi® Model B , you're probably itching to make some fun embedded computer projects with it. What you need is an add on prototyping Pi Cobbler from Adafruit, which can break out all those tasty power, GPIO, I2C and SPI pins from the 26 pin header onto a solderless breadboard.

This version is no longer made, as most people are not using Pi's with 2x13 connectors such as the Pi 1 Model B We stock a version for newer Pi's with 2x20 headers so please pick that one up for any modern Pi usage! We put a PermaProto full sized proto board in a blender with a Pi Cobbler and out emerged this very tasty confection - the PermaProto for Pi! It has the Cobbler baked right in.

Connecting wires to the Raspberry Pi GPIO? The Pi GPIO reference board from Low Voltage Labs provides an easy way to make sure you are hooking up the wires correctly. Features: Only 0.8mm thick.Compatible with Raspberry Pi Rev 1 and Rev 2 GPIO.Idiot proof, really! You can’t put it on backwards.Also makes a great keychain. This is for the Raspberry Pi Model B only!   Pi GPIO Reference Board (1:31)

Have you ever tried making a connection from your Raspberry Pi to a breadboard and had trouble finding the pin you need because nothing is labelled? Have you made mistakes matching a diagram of the pinout to the actual pins? Are you not making enough connections to use our amazing Pi Cobbler? Try the Raspberry Leaf! The Raspberry Leaf is a piece of high quality glossy paper that's cut and drilled to to pop over the GPIO pins of your...
