Designed for environmental monitoring, Enviro+ lets you measure air quality (pollutant gases and particles*), temperature, pressure, humidity, light, and noise level.
Enviro+ is an affordable alternative to environmental monitoring stations that can cost tens of thousands of pounds and, best of all, it's small and hackable and lets you contribute your data to citizen science efforts to monitor air quality via projects like Luftdaten.

Citizen science air quality monitoring
This board was developed in collaboration with the University of Sheffield, with the aim of letting you contribute real-time air quality data from your local area to open data projects like Luftdaten.
Devices like Enviro+ allow fine-grained, detailed datasets that let us see shifts in air quality through time and across different areas of cities. The dataset gets better in quality every time an additional The more devices that contribute data, the better quality the dataset becomes.
Particulate matter (PM) is made up of tiny particles that are a mix of sizes and types, like dust, pollen, mould spores, smoke particles, organic particles and metal ions, and more. Particulates are much of what we think of as air pollution.
The analog gas sensor can be used to make qualitative measurements of changes in gas concentrations, so you can tell broadly if the three groups of gases are increasing or decreasing in abundance. Without laboratory conditions or calibration, you won't be able to say 'the concentration of carbon monoxide is n parts per million', for example.
Temperature, air pressure and humidity can all affect particulate levels (and the gas sensor readings) too, so the BME280 sensor on Enviro+ is really important to understanding the other data that Enviro+ outputs.
You can implement Enviro+ in IoT applications as well. By connection it to Alexa you can get information about the temperature and humidity of the air by simply asking, or there's also an option to set up a trigger action with IFTTT that turns your Philips Hue lights on when the light level drops below a certain level etc.
Software
With the Python library you can control control all the parts of your Enviro+. There's a bunch of examples for each of the individual parts, an all-in-one example that shows you the data from Enviro+'s sensors in a visual way.
When Raspberry Pi 4's system on chip (SoC) achieves a certain temperature, it lowers its operating speed to protect itself from harm. As a result, you don't get maximum performance from the single board computer. Fan SHIM is an affordable accessory that effectively eliminates thermal throttling and boosts the performance of RPi 4. It's quite easy to attach the fan SHIM to Raspberry pi: fan SHIM uses a friction-fit header, so it just slips onto your Pi's pins and it's ready to go, no soldering required! The fan can be controlled in software, so you can adjust it to your needs, for example, toggle it on when the CPU reaches a certain temperature etc. You can also program the LED as a visual indicator of the fan status. The tactile switch can also be programmed, so you can use it to toggle the fan on or off, or to switch between temperature-triggered or manual mode. Features 30 mm 5 V DC fan 4,200 RPM 0.05 m³/min air flow 18.6 dB acoustic noise (whisper-quiet) Friction-fit header No soldering required RGB LED (APA102) Tactile switch Basic assembly required Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 (and 3B+, 3A+)
Python library and daemon Pinout Scope of delivery Fan SHIM PCB 30 mm 5 V DC fan with JST connector M2.5 nuts and bolts Assembly The assembly is really simple and almost takes no time With the component side of the PCB facing upwards, push the two M2.5 bolts through the holes from below, then screw on the first pair of nuts to secure them and act as spacers. Push the fan's mounting holes down onto the bolts, with the cable side of the fan downwards (as pictured) and the text on the fan upwards. Attach with another two nuts. Push the fan's JST connector into the socket on Fan SHIM. Software With the help of Python library you can control the fan (on/off), RGB LED, and switch. You'll also find a number of examples that demonstrate each feature, as well as a script to install a daemon (a computer program that runs as a background process) that runs the fan in automatic mode, triggering it on or off when the CPU reaches a threshold temperature, with a manual override via the tactile switch.
HyperPixel 2.1 Round has all the great features of other HyperPixels – crisp, brilliant IPS display touchscreen, and high-speed DPI interface – it's just rounder! You can use it with any Raspberry Pi with a 40-pin header but it works particularly nicely with the RPi Zero footprint – it's designed so you can mount a Zero neatly behind it, so you can't see the RPi when you look at it from the front.
This version of HyperPixel would be great for custom interfaces and control panels – mounted on a wall it would make a really neat, minimalist smart home controller or a stylish 'what's playing' display for your sound system. Everything is pre-soldered and ready to go, just pop it onto your RPi, install the software, and away you go!
HyperPixel 2.1 Round uses a high-speed DPI interface, allowing it to shift 5x more pixel data than the usual SPI interface that these small Pi displays normally use.

This anodised aluminium heatsink case will protect your Raspberry Pi 4 and give you very effective passive cooling. It's great in cases where you want completely silent cooling, for instance, if you're building a home media center. The scope of delivery includes a thermal pad to provide thermal contact between the CPU and top case, and a handy Allen key and set of hex bolts to attach the case together. The case gives you access to all of the ports, pins, and connectors. Features Anodised aluminium top and bottom case Heatsink fins Thermal pad Hex bolts and Allen key included Access to all ports, pins, and connectors Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 Assembly Assembling your heatsink case is pretty easy and should only take a couple of minutes. The first, and most important thing is to make sure that your Pi is powered off and unplugged before you fit the case. Take one of the thermal pads and peel the protective films off both sides of it (there's a white film and an easy-to-miss clear film on the other side. Stick the thermal pad onto your Pi's CPU (the metal square nearest the middle of the PCB). Sticking the thermal pad to the CPU first is a much better way to position it correctly than trying to stick it to the case. Only use one thermal pad with the Raspberry Pi 4. Position the top case and then, holding it in place, flip the whole thing over and position the bottom case on the underside of your Pi. Use the four hex bolts and allen key to secure the case. Notes The case is metal and hence conductive, so be careful not to short any components on it, and ensure that your RPi is powered off and unplugged when fitting the case It may be obvious, but the case will get hot in use Dimensions: 87 × 56 × 25.5 mm
SHIM is an old Yorkshire term meaning 'Shove Hardware In Middle' - we use it for Raspberry Pi add-ons that are designed to be sandwiched between your Pi and a HAT or mini HAT. This one has a clever friction fit header that slips handily over your GPIO pins, doesn't need soldering*, and is easily removable. The MAX98357A combined DAC / amplifier chip takes high-quality digital audio from your Pi and amplifies it so it can be used with an unpowered speaker. The push-fit connectors make it straightforward to connect up your speaker, whether it's a bookshelf or floor-standing speaker, the speaker in an old radio, or any other speaker you might have laying around. Because Audio Amp SHIM adds no extra bulk to your Pi it's perfect for building into a compact enclosure - you could use it to make a tiny MP3 player to play local files or stream from services like Spotify, give a vintage radio the ability to play digital radio streams or incorporate bleepy noises into your very own retro handheld. It's also a handy way to add audio output to your Pi Zero or Pi 400! Please note: Raspberry Pi and speakers are not included with this board.

Software
As ever, we've made a super-simple to use Python library to take advantage of Automation HAT's multitudinous functions, with examples to get you started.
Our input, output and relay examples show you how to read the analog and digital inputs, switch the outputs on and off, and control the relays.
Notes
We recommend you use a set of brass M2.5 standoffs with Automation HAT to avoid pins contacting the HDMI port if the HAT is pushed down
Loads for the buffered outputs should be switched on the ground side, i.e. 12/24 V (from supply) -> load -> output terminal -> ground (from supply)
The relays can tolerate up to 2 A each and should be switched on the high side
The sinking outputs can sink a maximum 500 mA total across the 3 outputs, so if you use a single channel you can sink the whole 500 mA across it.
The accuracy of the ADC is ±2%.
Do not use to switch mains voltages!
Thanks to its six sturdy slots, Breakout Garden enables the users to simply plug and play with various tiny breakout board.Just insert one or more boards into the slots in the Breakout Garden HAT and you’re ready to go. The mini breakouts feel secure enough in the edge-connector slots and are very unlikely to fall out.There are a number of useful pins along the top of Breakout Garden, which lets you connect other devices and integrate them into your project.You shouldn't be worried if you insert a board the wrong way thanks to provided reverse polarity protection. It doesn't matter which slot you use for each breakout either, because the I²C address of the breakout will be recognised by the software and it'll detect them correctly in case you move them around.Features

Inky Frame 5.7' features a nice, big seven color E Ink display with loads of space for displaying images, text, graphs or interfaces. There's five buttons with LED indicators for interacting with the display, two Qw/ST connectors for plugging in breakouts and a micro SD card slot for all-important storage of cat photos. Every Inky Frame comes with a pair of sleek little metal legs so you can stand it up on your desk (and a selection of mounting holes if you'd prefer to do something else). There's also a battery connector so you can power it without annoying trailing wires, and some neato power saving features that mean you can run it from batteries for ages. Inky Frame is great for: Checking your calendar and upcoming appointments at a glance Attaching to your office door to display your availability Displaying motivational posters, quotes, or images (fungible or otherwise) Showing readouts from other wirelessly connected environmental boards Features Raspberry Pi Pico W Aboard Dual Arm Cortex M0+ running at up to 133 Mhz with 264 kB of SRAM 2 MB of QSPI flash supporting XiP Powered and programmable by USB micro-B 2.4 GHz wireless 5.7' EPD display (600 x 448 pixels) E Ink Gallery Palette 4000 ePaper ACeP (Advanced Color ePaper) 7-color with black, white, red, green, blue, yellow, orange.

Inventor 2040 W is a multi-talented board that does (almost) everything you might want a robot, prop or other mechanical thing to do. Drive a couple of fancy motors with encoders attached? Yep! Add up to six servos? Sure? Attach a little speaker so you can make noise? No problem! It's also got a battery connector so you can power your inventions from AA/AAA or LiPo batteries and carry your miniature automaton/animated top hat/treasure chest that growls at your enemies around with you untethered.You also get a ton of options for hooking up sensors and other gubbins – there's two Qw/ST connectors (and an unpopulated Breakout Garden slot) for attaching breakouts, three ADC pins for analog sensors, photoresistors and such, and three spare digital GPIO you could use for LEDs, buttons or digital sensors. Speaking of LEDs, the board features 12 addressable LEDs (AKA Neopixels) – one for each servo and GPIO/ADC channel.Features
