PiRack Accessory board for Raspberry Pi

doctorcdf over 4 years ago

View table of contents ...

With the ability to connect up to 4 additional boards, the plug-in PiRack allows users ultimate flexibility in their Raspberry Pi programming.

Powered separately to the Raspberry Pi means that the PiRack will not affect performance. This carrier card is part of the PiFace series and can be used with most IO expansion boards that are compatible with the Raspberry Pi IO header. PiRack also enables the Pi Camera Module to be used at the same time. By taking IO expansion boards directly off the Raspberry Pi, PiRack enables the camera module to easily connect onto the Raspberry Pi using to the top mount CSI interface.

The versatility of the PiRack also makes it very suitable for use in educational purposes. The ability to work with multiple boards allows users to move from beginner to advanced projects, with endless applications.

Features

Expansion board allowing connection of multiple IO boards to the Raspberry Pi
Room for up to 4 additional boards
User can then select whichever board they want to interface with
Allows the user to use the Pi Camera Module and top mounted expansion boards at the same time
Powered separately so does not draw power from the RPi

This is a personal preference, I would take notes and photos of any process that I would do, starting from packing looking at anything that is missing etc. From the notes I would create the text version using Word or Open Office or any program similar.

From there once the formatting is correct, I simply copy and pasted the text into the blog. I would insert images into the relevant areas then align the images by right clicking. (Usualy Right Justified).

I have a technical issue with my blog, am waiting for Technical support to find out why mine isn't showing.

I hope this is what you mean by assistance!!!
