Development Boards
Prototype electronics and build simple automation systems with the configurable inputs and outputs on these boards. Monitor both digital and analog devices, including proximity and temperature sensors, and control basic outputs, such as changing the speed of a servomotor or turning LEDs on and off. Their open-source software makes programming and troubleshooting convenient. Choose a board whose operating voltage can support the other devices you’re connecting to.
Boards with headers are good for making quick connections. Plug them in directly to breadboards, or connect them using jumper wire.

Single-Board Computers
Combine the functionality of a PC with the flexibility of a development board’s digital inputs and outputs. These computers are faster than development boards and also have more memory, so they’re able to run multiple applications simultaneously. Use them to prototype or program complex automation jobs, such as controlling the movements of a robot arm or livestreaming video from a remote facility. About the size of a credit card, they easily mount inside control cabinets.
These computers run on a Linux-based operating system. To program, download an operating system onto a micro SD card (not included) and then transfer it to the single-board computer.
Use sets to start prototyping automation systems. 5-piece sets come with the basic hardware needed to get the computer up and running. Use them to run local and web-based applications for your system. 94-, 96-, and 97-piece sets include all of the hardware in the 5-piece sets, as well as some electrical components. Use the components to prototype your physical system, which might incorporate temperature and pressure sensors (not included) using the Qwiic adapter, push button controls, and LED indicators.
Active coolers have an aluminum heatsink with a temperature-controlled fan to keep your Raspberry Pi 5 running cool.
Real-time clock batteries are rechargeable and connect to your Raspberry Pi 5 to power the board’s real-time clock when disconnected from the main power supply.

Open-Source Controllers
Combine the functionality of a programmable logic controller (PLC) and the accessibility of a development board. Built around a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino-enabled microcontroller, these controllers use open-source software to make programming and troubleshooting convenient. Use them in your automated system to monitor sensors, control actuators, and support Internet-of-Things functionality, such as wireless communication with sensors and connection to cloud-computing services. Their plastic housing keeps the inner electronics protected in industrial environments. Controllers meet UL 94 V-0 standards for safety, and they’re rated IP20 to prevent fingers and other objects greater than 12.5 mm from making contact with live circuits. Mount them to DIN rails inside control cabinets.
