Raspberry Pi enthusiasts building prototypes on bread boards may be interested in a new Raspberry Pi accessory created by Alex Eames, which allows you to easily lineup the Raspberry Pi ports to a breadboard in numerical order. Named the RasPiO Breadboard Pi Bridge new accessory is now available to back via the official RasPiO website and is priced at just £12 with 400 available at launch. RasPiO Breadboard Pi Bridge lets you :
– Build and control a circuit with very few additional wires
– Attach a breadboard to your Pi neatly, robustly and reversibly
– Make prototype circuits quickly and easily
– Make far fewer wiring errors, saving debugging time and potential damage
“RasPiO BBPi Breadboard Pi Bridge provides a robust way of connecting a breadboard to a Pi and removes the need for lots of messy wires, and counting pins. It should also reduce the frustration of unreliable connections often associated with using breadboards and Dupont wires. You’ll probably need a wire (provided) to connect the left and right GND rails on the breadboard. You can build the shown (above) LED circuit with no further wires.”
Supplied as a kit the included components take the form of :
– Perspex base, breadboard platform and Pi cover
– Half size breadboard (400 points)
– Nylon nuts bolts and spacers to hold it all together
– RasPiO Breadboard Pi Bridge PCB
– 30-way male header
– 2×20-way female header
– 5x10mm LEDs + resistors
– GND wire to connect the ground rails together
