The Raspberry Pi 4 Hardware Starter Kit provides a solid set of parts and instruction for working with the Raspberry Pi 4 in a more hardware-centric manner. While the Raspberry Pi isn’t typically considered a go-to for hardware projects, its I/O pins hold a lot of benefits that you can use for a variety of applications. This kit covers the basics like using LEDs, and Buttons while providing a solid set of parts for working with any other hardware I/O and the 40-pin header. In addition, we’ve included all the parts needed for getting the Raspberry Pi 4 up and running whether it’s on its own, or using a monitor (not included). The new 64GB MicroSD cards keep read/write commands running super fast, too.
Most of the contents of the kit rely on the use of the 2×20, 40-pin header, so we’ve included a special extender to allow you to plug in the ribbon cable while using the provided heatsink case. We’ve also included a Qwiic Shim for easily working with I2C based Qwiic boards with the Pi. No soldering is required for this kit!
Note: This variation includes the 8GB RAM option for the Raspberry Pi 4.
