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

Features Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 only
Cutout in lid for 40x30mm heatsink or Fan SHIM
Super-slimline profile Fully HAT-compatible Protects your beloved Pi Clear top and base leave Raspberry Pi 4 visible GPIO cut-out Handy laser-etched port labels Leaves all ports accessible Made from lightweight, high-quality, cast acrylic Great for hacking and tinkering! Made in Sheffield, UK Weighing just over 50 grams, the case is lightweight and ideal for mounting to any surface. No tools are required for assembly or disassembly. The dimensions are: 99 × 66 × 15 mm. In the video below you can see a quick assembly guide.
Raspberry Pi cooling is a must. From the simplest passive heat sink, through elaborate fan blowers and even to an exotic water-cooled idea, many options are available.
Sequent Microsystems Smart Fan has the form factor of the Raspberry Pi HAT. Its own tinny 32-bit processor receives commands from Raspberry Pi through the I²C interface. A step-up power supply converts the 5 V provided by Raspberry Pi to 12 V, ensuring precise speed control. Using pulse width modulation, it powers the fan just enough to maintain a constant temperature of the Raspberry Pi processor.
The Smart Fan preserves all the GPIO pins, allowing any number of cards to be stacked on top of Raspberry Pi. If another add-on card has to dissipate power, a secondary Smart Fan can be added to the stack.
DIN-Rail Mounting
Together with multiple add-on cards, the Smart Fan can be installed on the DIN-Rail, for sturdy industrial applications.
Stack Level Jumper
Two Smart Fans can be installed on top of each Raspberry Pi. The assumption is that you have one more card in the stack which requires cooling. The bottom side of the Smart Fan has a jumper which needs to be installed on the second fan, in order for the Raspberry Pi to differentiate the two I²C addresses.
Features
40 x 40 x 10 mm fan with 6 CFM airflow
Step-up 12 V power supply for precise fan speed control
PWM Controller modulates the fan to keep constant Pi temperature
Draws less than 100 mA of power
Stackable to itself, 2 fans can be added to Raspberry Pi
Fully stackable allows adding other cards to Raspberry Pi
Uses only I²C interface, leaves full use of all GPIO pins

Add global GSM connectivity and GPS tracking to your project with a BerryGPS-GSM.
This is an all in one module which can provide location tracking and GSM services such as data, text and SMS to your project. It comes in the same form factor as a Raspberry Pi Zero, which makes it nice and compact when used with a Raspberry Pi Zero.
The two main components that make this board great are;
uBlox CAM-M8 GPS module (Same GPS found on BerryGPS-IMU V3)
uBlox SARA-U201 GSM for GSM connectivity, which has global coverage.
Both of these modules working together results in obtaining a GPS fix in secs, using Assisted GPS.
Typically, a GPS module can take a few minutes to get Time To First Fix(TTFF), or even longer if you are in built up areas. This is because the Almanac needs to be downloaded from satellites before a GPS fix can be acquired and only a small portion of the Almanac is sent in each GPS update.
Assisted GPS speeds this up significantly by downloading ephemeris, almanac, accurate time and satellite status over the network, resulting in faster TTTF, in a few seconds. This is very similar how to GPS works on a smartphone.
BerryGPS-GSM has been designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero, however it works with all versions of Raspberry Pi.
We have created a USB-to-USB PCB connector to be used with a Raspberry Pi Zero, which is designed to make your project more compact.

The Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ is an expansion board designed for the Raspberry Pi 5, featuring an integrated Hailo AI accelerator. This add-on offers a cost-effective, efficient, and accessible approach to incorporating high-performance AI capabilities, with applications spanning process control, security, home automation, and robotics.
Available in models offering 13 or 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS), the AI HAT+ is based on the Hailo-8L and Hailo-8 neural network accelerators. This 13 TOPS model efficiently supports neural networks for tasks like object detection, semantic and instance segmentation, pose estimation, and more. The 26 TOPS variant accommodates larger networks, enables faster processing, and is optimized for running multiple networks simultaneously.
The AI HAT+ connects via the Raspberry Pi 5’s PCIe Gen3 interface. When the Raspberry Pi 5 is running a current version of the Raspberry Pi OS, it automatically detects the onboard Hailo accelerator, making the neural processing unit (NPU) available for AI tasks. Additionally, the rpicam-apps camera applications included in Raspberry Pi OS seamlessly support the AI module, automatically using the NPU for compatible post-processing functions.
