Custard Pi 1 and 2 were launched a couple of months ago. These plug in boards for the Raspberry Pi GPIO provided the hobbyist with a quick and easy way to start controlling external hardware.
Coming soon are new additions to this range. There is a summary below. As they become available, they will be listed on Amazon and EBay. Please continue to have a look at www.sf-innovations.co.uk for the latest updates.
As the cards are introduced, there will be sample Python code showing users how to use these. These are downloadable off the sf innovations website.
All the cards are available ready built or as a kit of parts. Some electronic experience will be necessary to assemble and solder the kit of parts. The original Custard Pi 1 & 2 use non-stackable connectors. This means that once the board is plugged into the Raspberry Pi, nothing else can be plugged into the GPIO. Custard Pi 3,4 @ 5 use stackable connectors, so that a “tower” of add on boards can be plugged in if required. Custard Pi 6 is too large to be plugged directly into the Raspberry Pi and uses a ribbon cable.
Custard Pi 1 - Break out board with built in protection for the Raspberry Pi
Custard Pi 2 - Analogue and digital I/O for the Raspberry Pi
