Pimoroni Breakout Boards
Pimoroni Breakout Boards can be used to add functions to microcontrollers like a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc. The boards tend to be dedicated to just one or a couple of functions. This includes audio output, motor driving, or sensors, but can be built up into larger projects.
Display-O-Tron RGB Breakout
Pimoroni Display-O-Tron RGB Breakout features added circuitry to allow the display to run at either 3V or 5V. The Display-O-Tron also includes an RGB backlight to make projects look awesome. The RGB backlight is driven by FETs on the board, all that is needed is to supply a logic level signal to the R, G, and B pins (which can be PWM-ed).
BMP280 Breakout - Temperature, Pressure, Altitude Sensor
Pimoroni BMP280 Breakout - Temperature, Pressure, Altitude Sensor is a fast and precise environmental sensor. The sensor measures temperature, pressure, and altitude. Our BMP280 breakout is Raspberry-Pi and Arduino-compatible.
LTR-559 Light & Proximity Sensor Breakout
Pimoroni LTR-559 Light and Proximity Sensor Breakout detects light over a wide dynamic range (0.01 lux to 64,000 lux) and proximity within a short range of ~5cm. The LTR-559 is the same kind of sensor next to the camera in a phone that detects when it's next to an ear and when the phone should disable the touchscreen.
5x5 RGB Matrix Breakout
Pimoroni 5x5 RGB Matrix Breakout is a way to visualize sensor data for simple animations or notifications. It's Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible. The matrices are ideal for visualizing data from other Pimoroni breakouts in a Breakout Garden HAT. Examples are graphing environmental data from the BMP280 or BME680 breakouts. Use the two together as headlights or brake lights for a Pi-powered vehicle.
0.96" SPI Colour LCD (160x80) Breakout
Pimoroni 0.96" SPI Colour LCD (160x80) Breakout is a handy way to add LCD to projects. This 0.96" SPI LCD has a 2:1 widescreen aspect ratio, with great viewing angles (IPS), and works with Raspberry Pi or Arduino. This breakout is used to display tidbits of information like timers, clocks, sensor readings, and more. Use it to display the IP address of a headless Raspberry Pi, so that there is no need to connect a full display or fiddle around with Nmap?
MCP9600 Thermocouple Amplifier Breakout
Pimoroni MCP9600 Thermocouple Amplifier Breakout works with eight thermocouple types and has built-in temperature alerts. The MCP9600 is compatible with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and the Pimoroni no-solder Breakout Garden HAT.
MAX30105 Breakout - Heart Rate, Oximeter, Smoke Sensor
Pimoroni MAX30105 Breakout - Heart Rate, Oximeter, Smoke Sensor is a sophisticated heart rate, oximeter, and smoke/particle sensor. It can be used to see a heartbeat or to make LEDs or lights pulse in time with a heart. It's Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible.
11x7 LED Matrix Breakout
Pimoroni 11x7 LED Matrix Breakout is a tiny, tightly-packed matrix of 77 individually controllable bright white LEDs. The breakout is ideal for scrolling text, animations, bar graphs, or just general illumination. It's Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible.
Trackball Breakout
Pimoroni Trackball Breakout is a tiny, RGBW-illuminated, clickable Trackball Breakout. It's perfect for adding navigation or control to Raspberry Pi or Arduino projects.
ICM20948 9DoF Motion Sensor Breakout
Pimoroni ICM20948 9DoF Motion Sensor Breakout detects movement in nine different ranges of motion: 3-axis acceleration, 3-axis gyroscopic motion, and 3-axis compass heading.
DRV2605L Linear Actuator Haptic Breakout
Pimoroni DRV2605L Linear Actuator Haptic Breakout is a powerful haptic buzz programmable with a range of built-in patterns.
PMW3901 Optical Flow Sensor Breakout
Pimoroni PMW3901 Optical Flow Sensor Breakout detects the motion of surfaces in front of it, from ~80mm to infinity. It's great for DIY drone builds and is compatible with the Breakout Garden HAT with SPI.
MSA301 3DoF Motion Sensor Breakout
Pimoroni MSA301 3DoF Motion Sensor Breakout is a 3 Degrees of Freedom accelerometer breakout that measures acceleration in three axes - X, Y, and Z. It's ideal for simple and reliable motion detection for projects.
