Pibrella - Raspberry Pi Hardware Driver

Note: Although this product is no longer available we do have a growing number of other Raspberry Pi accessories here.

The perfect little add-on to drive motors, make sounds, and learn how to interface electronics with your Pi! Includes all you need for instant fun projects. It is easy-to-use and is clearly labelled.

Pibrella works with Python or Scratch and full code libraries are available.

The board can drive bigger loads than the Pi GPIO can handle (motors, relays, solenoids, etc.). Indicator LEDs on all input and output channels make debugging your circuits and coding a breeze.

Ideal for those new to the Raspberry Pi® or looking to expand their electronics knowledge. Great for schools and kids’ clubs. Full code libraries available from the pip Python package installer. More examples and helpful tips on www.pibrella.com.

Using the board:

1. Plug the board in to the Raspberry Pi I/O expander connector.
2. Connect power to the Pibrella using the micro USB power connector.
3. Install the Pibrella software on your Pi.
4. Write some Python using the Pibrella libraries.

Features:

• Slots straight on to your Raspberry Pi.
• On board tactile input switch.
• Red, green and amber LEDs.
• On board Pizeo speaker.
• 4 protected inputs, with LED indicators.
• 4 high-power outputs (600mA each), with LED indicators.
• Easy software interface – the libraries know what each pin is used for so you don’t need to.

Requires:

• Raspberry Pi.
• Micro USB power supply

In most cases a 1A micro USB will be fine, however if you are driving motors or other high current devices make sure one amp is enough power for them.
