Adafruit Pi Plate Kits Make Designing a Piece of Cake

WDD Staff

Raspberry Pi fans can now easily add a display to their devices thanks to three new Adafruit [1] Pi Plate kits, which are available at leading electronics distributor Newark element14 [2] (Chicago, IL). The kits:

  • Enable a display to be added to the Raspberry Pi without the usual wiring difficulties.
  • Control a 16 x 2 Character LCD using only the 2 I2C pins on the Raspberry Pi, and I2C-based sensors and RTS can also share the same bus.
  • Include a blue & white monochrome LCD, or a RGB Negative LCD or a Positive LCD.
  • Feature a new tiny Adafruit breadboard, which makes it easy to create prototypes using the Pi.
