Raspberry Pi Accessories Pack - Sensor Development Kit

Playing around with electronics and Robotics will always offer ceaseless fun, as they not only add an extra level of functionality to any project, but they can also be very insightful in understanding the world around us. For this reason, we always jump at the opportunity to get fantastic sensor packs like the Raspberry Pi Sensor Development Accessories Pack, which features 13 ultra-convenient sensor modules that are perfectly compatible with Raspberry Pi Boards, to give your Pi projects eyes, ears and other senses to be able to understand and interact with the world around them.

This kit consists of a total of thirteen Sensor Modules, with an ARPI600 Sensor Adapter Board to connect all of the different sensors up to Raspberry Pi Boards with as little hassle as possible. Additionally, this kit also contains some extra Raspberry Pi Accessories for powering and operating whatever project you want to enjoy, with an included USB cable, power supply adapter, SD Card and SD Card Reader.

In fact, the only component that you will need that isn’t included in these Raspberry Pi Kits is an actual Raspberry Pi board. However, this is intentional, as it means you can choose whichever Raspberry Pi you need for your project, without having to accommodate a Pi with different dimensions of power capabilities. So, whether you want to create your own low-power environmental sensor node with a Raspberry Pi Zero W, or build a colour-coordinated stock-picking machine with a full Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, you can simply get the Pi you need to enjoy the full (or lightweight) functionality for your project.

Please Note: This kit does not include a Raspberry Pi board. Purchasing it separately allows you to get the ideal pi that you need for your project, without being limited to whatever is included in the pack. Also, the 16GB SD Card provided with the Accessories Pack may vary based on the supplied brand.

Extra Note: In addition to the above, it's important to note that this kit is not completely compatible with the new Raspberry Pi 4 boards. However, we are always working hard to get great kits like this for all of our products, so you can expect a Raspberry Pi Sensor Dev' Kit specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4 boards sometime in the near future.

Typical Applications for Raspberry Pi Sensor Development Kit:

With so many different Sensor Modules included in the Raspberry Pi Sensor Development Pack, it’s difficult to think of an application in which this kit would be useless. However, in terms of getting the maximum benefit from this sensor development pack, excellent projects with this include:

• Building an automated stock picking system, with the ability to identify colours, listen for voice commands, and even detect the remaining volumes for liquid containers.
• Creating a little robot buddy that can follow lines, fetch a ball, or possibly even identify and put out small fires.
• Developing your own pocket weather station, that tells you the temperature, humidity levels, strength of sunlight, and even when there might be a dangerous LPG leak.

These are just a small selection of some of the amazing Pi projects that you could expect to enjoy with the Raspberry Pi Sensor Development Pack, but of course with so many different sensors as well as all of the extra components, Connectors & Wiring in this kit, the possibilities are near-endless for what kinds of projects you can Make.

When it comes to producing unique electronics components and modules, there are very few brands that can provide the quality that Waveshare can. Based in the Futian District in Shenzhen, China, Waveshare are experts in developing electronics to a high standard of quality, which have been thoroughly tested to work seamlessly with corresponding development platforms and systems – such as the E-Ink HATs for Raspberry Pi’s.

What we love most about Waveshare is how they are dedicated to providing quality products, and have moved away from the typical “Made in China” stigma – cheap products with cheap parts and components. Instead, Waveshare understand the value of supplying quality products and building sustainable relationships with international resellers and distributors. They know that consistent quality will result in consistent business, and as such they always ensure strict quality control for each and every product that comes out of the manufacturing plant.

We are always excited to peruse through their vast catalogue of exciting new products to find unique modules, components or even entire development boards that are designed with quality in mind. Because we know that every cent that we spend with Waveshare will be well-spent, with each product that order adding real value to our own catalogue of products.
