Unlock your inner Mozart with Piano HAT, a mini musical companion for your Raspberry Pi!
Piano HAT is inspired by Zachary Igielman's PiPiano and made with his blessing. It has taken his fabulous idea for a dinky piano add-on for the Raspberry Pi, made it touch-sensitive and added barrels of our trademark Pimoroni polish.
Play music in Python, control software synths on your Pi, and take control of hardware synthesizers!
Features
16 capacitive touch pads (link each to their own Python function!)
13 piano keys (a full octave)
Octave up/down buttons
Instrument cycle button (great for use with synthesizers)
16 bright white LEDs (let them light automagically, or take control with Python)
2x Microchip CAP1188 capacitive touch driver chips
Use it to control software or hardware synths over MIDI
Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models

With a 6x20 grid of 2.54 mm spaced holes for easy soldering and labelled Pico pins so you know what's what, Pico Proto is perfect for when you're happy with your breadboard project and want to give it a secure, smart and compact long-term home.
Pico Proto doesn't come with any headers attached, so you will need to either solder it directly to your Pico's male header pins (for a permanent, but super slim sandwich) or solder it to some female header.
Features
40 2.54 mm spaced holes for attaching to your Pico.
120 2.54 mm spaced holes (6x20 grid) for attaching other things
Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico.
Dimensions: approx 51 x 25 x 1 mm (L x W x H)
Raspberry Pi Pico Wireless Pack attaches to the back of your Pico and uses an ESP32 chip to let your Pico connect to 2.4 GHz wireless networks and transfer data. There's a microSD card slot for if you want to store lots of data locally as well as a RGB LED (for status updates) and a button (useful for things like enabling/disabling Wi-Fi).
Great for quickly adapting an existing Pico project to have wireless functionality, Raspberry Pi Pico Wireless Pack would come in handy for sending sensor data into home automation systems or dashboards, for hosting a web page from a matchbox or for letting your Pico interact with online APIs.
Features
ESP32-WROOM-32E module for wireless connectivity (connected via SPI) (datasheet)
1x Tactile button
RGB LED
Micro-SD card slot
Pre-soldered female headers for attaching your Raspberry Pi Pico

Pico Breakout Garden Base sits underneath your Pico and lets you connect up to six of our extensive selection of Pimoroni breakouts to it. Whether it's environmental sensors so you can keep track of the temperature and humidity in your office, a whole host of little screens for important notifications and readouts, and, of course, LEDs. Scroll down for a list of breakouts that are currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython libraries!As well as a labelled landing area for your Pico, there's also a full set of broken out Pico connections, in case you need to attach even more sensors, wires, and circuitry. We've thrown in some rubber feet to keep the base nice and stable and to stop it from scratching your desk, or there are M2.5 mounting holes at the corners so that you can bolt it onto a solid surface if you prefer.The six sturdy black slots are edge connectors that connect the breakouts to the pins on your Pico. There's two slots for SPI breakouts, and four slots for I²C breakouts. Because I²C is a bus, you can use multiple I²C devices at the same time, providing they don't have the same I²C address (we've made sure that all of our breakouts have different addresses, and we print them on the back of the breakouts so they're easy to find).As well as being a handy way to add functionality to your Pico, Breakout Garden is also very useful for prototyping projects without the need for complicated wiring, soldering, or breadboards, and you can grow or change up your setup at any time.Features

Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico
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
Six sturdy edge-connector slots for Pimoroni breakouts
0.1” pitch, 5 pin connectors
Broken-out pins (1 × 10 strip of male header included)
Standoffs (M2.5, 10 mm height) included to hold your Breakout Garden securely
Reverse polarity protection (built into breakouts)
HAT format board
Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
It's suggested using the included standoffs to attache Breakout Garden to your Raspberry Pi.
Software
Breakout Garden doesn't require any software of its own, but each breakout you use will need a Python library. On the Breakout Garden GitHub page you'll find an automatic installer, which will install the appropriate software for a given breakout. There are also some examples that show you what else you can do with Breakout Garden.

Build robust, intelligent machines that combine Raspberry Pi computing power with LEGO components.
The Raspberry Pi Build HAT provides four connectors for LEGO Technic motors and sensors from the SPIKE Portfolio. The available sensors include a distance sensor, a color sensor, and a versatile force sensor. The angular motors come in a range of sizes and include integrated encoders that can be queried to find their position.
The Build HAT fits all Raspberry Pi computers with a 40-pin GPIO header, including – with the addition of a ribbon cable or other extension device — Raspberry Pi 400. Connected LEGO Technic devices can easily be controlled in Python, alongside standard Raspberry Pi accessories such as a camera module.
Features
Controls up to 4 motors and sensors
Powers the Raspberry Pi (when used with a suitable external PSU)
Easy to use from Python on the Raspberry Pi
The case consists of two parts. It has a standard base featuring a cut-out to allow access to the GPIO, and a choice of three lids: a plain lid, a GPIO lid (allowing access to the GPIO from above), and a camera lid (which, when used with the short camera cable supplied, allows the Raspberry Pi Camera or Camera Noir to be fitted neatly inside it).
Included
1x base
3x lids (plain, GPIO, camera)
1x short camera cable
4x rubber feet
The FLIRC Raspberry Pi Zero Case is compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero W and the newer Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
The design of the FLIRC Zero Case is based on the original FLIRC case. As with the original, the aluminum housing serves as protection and, thanks to the contact point on the processor, as a passive cooler. Ideal for silent operation.
In addition to a normal cover that encloses and protects the Raspberry Pi Zero, there is a second cover that allows access to the GPIO pins through a small opening.
