Wide Range Power Supply for Raspberry Pi
With the PiEnergy Mini, you can operate your Raspberry Pi with a voltage of 6 to 36 V DC. You can use the button integrated on the board to both power up and power down your Raspberry Pi.
Communication with the Raspberry Pi is via GPIO4, but this connection can also be cut by removing a resistor to use the pin freely. Thanks to the ultra-flat design, it can also be used in many housings. The pin header is included and not soldered on to keep the design even flatter.

The JOY-iT R301T fingerprint sensor module is capable of image collection and algorithm calculation due to this integrated chip. Another remarkable function of the sensor is, that it can recognize the fingerprint in different conditions, for example humidity, light texture or changes of the skin. This offers a very wide range of possible applications to secure locks and doors among others. The chip can send data via UART, TTL serial and USB to the connected controller.

This JOY-iT microcontroller board opens the world of programming to you and offers you the same computing power as the Mega 2560, but with a smaller foot-print. It also has many more connectors than comparable boards (Arduino Uno). It is powered by the Arduino IDE and power can be supplied either via the USB port or the VIN pins. This allows you to use it safely with many other devices, e.g. desktop PC. Therefore the Mega 2560 Pro is highly integrable.

Manual
The Motorino board is an extension-board to control and use up to 16 PWM-controlled 5V-Servo-motors.
The included clock generator ensures a very precise PWM signal and a very precise positioning.
The board has 2 inputs for voltage from 4.8 V to 6 V which can be used for up to 11 A. With this input, a perfect power supply is always guaranteed and even bigger projects are no problem.
The supply runs directly over the Motorino which provides a connection for voltage, ground and control.
With the build in capacitor, the voltage is buffered which prevents a sudden voltage-drop at a high load. But there is also the possibility to connect another capacitor.
The control and the programing can be done, as usual, with the Arduino. Manuals and code examples allows a quick introduction for beginners.

The MotoPi is an extension-board to control and use up to 16 PWM-controlled 5 V servo motors. The board can be additional powered by a voltage between 4.8 V and 6 V so a perfect supply is always guaranteed and even larger projects can be powered.
With the additional power supply and the integrated Analog-Digital-Converter, new possibilities can be reached. An additional power supply per motor is not required anymore because all connections (Voltage, Ground, Control) are directly connected to the board.
The control and the programing can be directly done, as usual, on the Raspberry Pi.

The Arduino MKR Zero is a development board for music makers! With an SD card holder and dedicated SPI interfaces (SPI1), you are able to play music files without extra hardware.
The MKR Zero brings you the power of a Zero in the smaller format established by the MKR form factor. The MKR Zero board acts as a great educational tool for learning about 32-bit application development. It has an on-board SD connector with dedicated SPI interfaces (SPI1) that allows you to play with MUSIC files with no extra hardware! The board is powered by Atmel’s SAMD21 MCU, which features a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+ core.
The board contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a micro-USB cable or power it by a LiPo battery. The battery voltage can also be monitored since a connection between the battery and the analog converter of the board exists.

Is your house haunted? Or, rather, are you convinced that your house is haunted but have never been able to prove it since you've never had a camera that integrated with your Raspberry Pi Zero but was still small enough that the ghosts wouldn't notice it?
Luckily, the spy camera for Raspberry Pi Zero is smaller than a thumbnail with a high enough resolution to see people, ghosts, or whatever it is you're looking for. It's about the size of a cell phone camera – the module being just 8.6 x 8.6 mm – with only a 2' cable, so you can create an extra compact and sneaky little spy cam. It has a 160-degree focal angle for a very wide/distorted fisheye effect that's great for security systems or watching a big swath of the living room or roadway.
Like the Raspberry Pi camera board, it attaches to your Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 or Zero W by way of the small socket on the board's edge closest to the 'PWR in' port. This interface uses the dedicated CSI interface, which was designed especially for interfacing to cameras. The CSI bus is capable of extremely high data rates, and it exclusively carries pixel data.
The camera is connected to the BCM2835 processor on the RPi via the CSI bus, a higher bandwidth link which carries pixel data from the camera back to the processor. This bus travels along the ribbon cable that attaches the camera board to the Pi. The ribbon cables are compatible with both the RPi Zero v1.3 and RPi Zero W.
The sensor itself has a native resolution of 5 megapixels and has a fixed focus lens onboard. It has similar specs as the original RPi camera, but is not as high-res as the new RPi camera v2!
Specifications
Camera Module Dimensions: 8.6 x 8.6 mm
Lens Diameter: 10 mm
Total Length: 60 mm
Lens Focal Angle: 160 degrees
Weight: 1.9 g
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
