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

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. Features BME280 temperature, pressure, humidity sensor (datasheet) LTR-559 light and proximity sensor (datasheet) MICS6814 analog gas sensor (datasheet) ADS1015 analog to digital converter (ADC) (datasheet) MEMS microphone (datasheet) 0.96' colour LCD (160 × 80) pHAT-format board Fully-assembled Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models Pinout Python library 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.

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. Features MAX98357A DAC / amplifier chip Mono 3W audio out Push-fit speaker terminals SHIM-format board with friction-fit connectors 2x mounting holes (M2.5) for if you want to secure everything together with bolts Fully-assembled No soldering required (*unless you're using a Pi that comes without a header) Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models Software The easiest way to get everything set up is to use Pimoroni's Pirate Audio software and installer which configures I2S audio, as well as installing Mopidy and our custom Pirate Audio plugins which will let you stream Spotify and play local files. Here's how to get started: Set an SD card up with the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS. Connect to Wi-Fi or a wired network. Open a terminal and type the following:git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/pirate-audiocd pirate-audio/mopidysudo ./install.sh Reboot your Pi Downloads MAX98357A Datasheet Pirate Audio software Schematic
