Raspberry Pi 3

The designers of Raspberry Pi minicomputers are very active and every year they bring us new improvements to their boards and modules. This progress has been particularly visible in the last three years, when the third generation "Raspberry" entered the market, which, it seems, evolved directly from the RPi Model B V1.2 version. Interestingly, the RPi B V1.2 version appeared on sale a few months after the release of the 3B model, although it cannot be denied that these versions are technologically very similar (to the point that it is difficult to know which one to enter first for testing).

Serial Enabled 16x2 LCD - White on Black 5V

It is the freshest serial LCD from SparkFun. Similarly to other SparkFun LCD screens it is put on single board with a microcontroller, however in contrast to the other screens in our offer (SP027 and SP028) it is based on PIC16F88 rather than ATmega328.

SparkFun Qwiic pHAT v2.0 for Raspberry Pi

QWIIC is a connection standard developed by Sparkfun enabling a quick an easy connection of peripherals without a need to solder pins, without any mismatches due to polarized connector. And on top of that you can "daisy chain" them! 

This hat pretty much opens the whole QWIIC universe in front of your Pi. It features 4 QWIIC ports all on the same I2C bus (GND, 3.3V, SDA, and SCL).

A universal  2x20 GPIO makes it compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards, as well as Google Coral and Jetson Nano.

Note:  For a secure connection in some applications, you'll need to add a pair of 1x20 stackable headers to extend the pins to your cart.

SparkFun Qwiic HAT for Raspberry Pi

The Qwiic HAT is an absolute basic of Qwiic system for Raspberry. It enables a quick and efficient connection of an sensor to your Raspberry over I2C bus (GND, 3.3 V, SDA and SCL). As Qwiic enables daisy chaining of components, you can pretty much install as many sensors on the Qwiic HAT as you want. On top of that it fits perfectly Pi Tin enclosure from SparkFun enabling connection while in case.

Raspberry Pi 3 - version development

Raspberry Pi 3 followed the standard development of several revisions for the series that Cambridge developers have got us used to. The first version was followed by B+ upgrade. As a separate format A, with smaller dimensions and slightly deleveraged in terms of performance, came with an upgrade as well (A+ version). All in all, you can rest assured that no matter which board you chose, as with all Raspberry products, it will definitely live up to your expectations. The only potential drawback you have to consider is the power consumption that comes as a cost of increased performance with every new board. Nonetheless, what for do we have our wide array of boxes and ventilation systems!

Raspberry Pi 3 accessories

Raspberry without accessories is like a bird without wings. If you are on a search for new gadgets, with Raspberry Pi 3 you should definitely consider a range of boxes and ventilation solutions we cover. As always with Raspberry, another important element to set off your projects is the screen and camera. Expect soon as well introductions of new sensor sets in our offer!

Connectivity enablement

Connectivity increasingly becomes the name of the game for the development boards and minicomputers. To take your projects to the next stage and make them even more useful you simply need to have a way to connect with them wirelessly. No IoT application will go without it. In this aspect, Raspberry Pi 3 truly brought a significant upgrade. First of all, WiFi connectivity enables remote control of the whole systems from pretty much anyplace. BCM43438 chip provides b/g/n WiFi (b/g/n are protocol descriptions for 802.11 communication standard that respond to different transmission speeds and frequencies, b being the most basic - 11Mb/s and reach of ~100m with the frequency of 2.4GHz - and n the fastest (up to 100Mb/s). Additionally, Low Energy Bluetooth enables IoT uses as beacons and other devices. Check our blog to find more information!
