Raspberry Pi 3 Starter Kit with GPIO Extension and Sensors

This comprehensive Raspberry Pi 3 starter kit provides a versatile selection of 54 electronic components, sensors, and breakout modules for hands-on physical computing. It includes prototyping hardware such as a breadboard, GPIO ribbon cable, character LCD, motor driver, and environmental sensors to support a wide range of coding experiments. It is ideally suited to students, hobbyists, and educators getting started with hardware interfacing.

Comprehensive sensor and input selection

The kit includes a diverse collection of input modules, such as a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, DS18B20 temperature element, rain sensor, light sensors, and an infrared motion sensor. User interaction is supported via yellow and red pushbuttons, a potentiometer, and an IR remote transmitter paired with an IR receiver board.

Direct GPIO breakout and prototyping

A dedicated GPIO extension board and matching ribbon cable allow users to easily route Raspberry Pi signals onto the supplied 200 x 135 x 45 mm breadboard. A PL2303 USB to TTL cable is also included for convenient serial communication and terminal debugging.

Display, actuation, and passive components

Output components include a 1602 LCD screen, a relay board, a stepper motor driver board, and assorted red, yellow, and green LEDs. A range of 560 ohm, 5.1k ohm, and 10k ohm resistors alongside a 40-pin male header round out the essential hardware assortment.

Hardware requirements

Please note that this accessory kit does not include the Raspberry Pi single-board computer or a NOOBS SD card, which must be supplied separately.
