Description
pi-top [4] Complete and pi-top [4] DIY Edition are at the heart of a new game-changing, Raspberry Pi-based, programmable computing ecosystem that combines digital making, coding and practical projects.
With pi-top [4], educators, students and inventors get to design, code and make anything they can imagine using one simple, easy-to-use system. From beginner to superuser, pi-top powers your projects and brings learning into the real world.
RASPBERRY PI MADE SIMPLE, ROBUST AND MODULAR.
pi-top [4] Complete is the fastest and simplest way to start using Raspberry Pi. Everything you need to power up your projects is pre-installed in this rugged case, including the Raspberry Pi 4 itself.
Paired with our Sensor Foundation Kit (Included), pi-top [4] Complete is a Raspberry Pi kit that will take you from beginner to superuser. With the modular pi-top [4] system you can create anything from a musical instrument to the ultimate alarm system. Explore our online project library to learn to code and control your creations.
What's in the box?
Every pi‑top [4] comes with 14 pi-top component modules comprising programmable sensors, buttons and LEDs to bring your inventions to life. You connect these to your pi‑top [4] using a Foundation Plate that fits snuggly underneath it. The Foundation Plate is a beginner level plate that lets you connect LEDs, sensors and potentiometers to make circuits, games and electronic systems.
