Raspberry pi prototype expansion board

The Raspberry Pi Prototype Expansion Board is designed to provide a flexible and customizable interface for prototyping and developing projects with a Raspberry Pi. It offers additional GPIO pins, power distribution, and mounting options, making it ideal for creating custom electronic circuits and experiments.

Key Features:

• Compatible with various Raspberry Pi models (e.g., Raspberry Pi 3, 4, and Zero)
• Breadboard-compatible layout for easy prototyping
• Additional GPIO pin headers for extended connectivity
• Power distribution rails for easy power supply connections
• Mounting holes for secure attachment to enclosures or project boxes
• Access to Raspberry Pi’s I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces
• Option to connect external sensors, actuators, and other peripherals

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Raspberry Pi 3, 4, Zero (check specific model compatibility)
• GPIO Headers: 40-pin (standard Raspberry Pi GPIO header)
• Breadboard Area: Yes (varies by model; typically a 400-point breadboard)
• Power Rails: Yes (typically 3.3V and 5V rails)
• Mounting Holes: 4 or more, positioned to fit standard enclosures
• Interface Access: I2C, SPI, UART (depends on board design)
• Dimensions: Varies by manufacturer (common sizes: 85mm x 56mm x 15mm)
• Weight: Varies by manufacturer (typically 50g to 100g)

Applications:

• Prototyping and testing electronic circuits
• Educational projects and experiments
• Development of custom Raspberry Pi-based devices
• Integration with sensors, displays, and other peripherals
• Rapid development and iteration of electronics projects

Usage:

1. Connect the expansion board to the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header.
2. Use the breadboard area to build and test circuits.
3. Connect additional peripherals and sensors as needed.
4. Secure the board in an enclosure using the mounting holes if desired.

Caution:

• Ensure correct connections to avoid damage to the Raspberry Pi or connected components.
• Follow the Raspberry Pi and expansion board manufacturer’s guidelines for setup and usage.
• Handle with care to prevent physical damage and ensure proper electrical connections.
