Want to take your kit to the next level?
Turn your RPI into a Media Centre
Grab yourself a remote control, select LibreELEC or OSMC when setting up your RPI and you'll be streaming in no time.
Want a cheap eco-friendly PC
Grab a Keyboard and Mouse, select Raspbian when setting up your RPI and you'll be browsing the web, sending emails, editing spreadsheets and watching videos just like you're used to with a desktop/laptop.
We know you love retro gaming!
Check out our Arcade section, whether you just want a retro control or a mini DIY arcade cabinet we have what you're looking for.
Did somebody say Robotics?
We've got some cool beginner's items in our robotic section
Our Kits come with the latest version of NOOBS – New Out Of the Box Software pre-installed, While we will certainly try our best to assist with any software related questions we cannot offer any kind of official support on community driven, open source, or non-PiShop produced proprietary software.
NOOBS, Raspbian, LibreELEC and OSMC are all open-source software, please visit the developer's respective websites for more info.
So what is NOOBS anyway? In Short, NOOBS is an installer, when you switch your RPI on NOOBS will guide you through the installation of your software of choice... seem confusing? Don't worry it really couldn't be easier
- Raspbian - a full desktop for normal day to day work. Email, internet, office suite, programming etc.
- LibreELEC RPi2 - our preferred version of Kodi for use as a media centre.
- OSMC Pi2 - for more control of your Kodi media centre
- Windows 10 IoT Core - nope this is not windows 10. It simply enables you to run projects and apps for the IOT environment.
- Lakka and Recalbox - retro gaming for the RPi.
