Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) is a widely adopted standard for transmitting broadcast Television.

Please note: it is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that they have the necessary permissions / license to receive broadcast television in their country

This add-on board lets you receive digital DVB-T2 TV streams on your Raspberry Pi to view them or stream them over a network to other devices

To get started you'll need:

 Compliance

The Raspberry Pi TV HAT has undergone extensive compliance testing and meets the following European standards:

• Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC) 2014/30/EU
• Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU

View and download global compliance certificates for Raspberry Pi products.

If you purchase a TV HAT, you must have the appropriate licence or approval to receive broadcast television in the country of intended use.

Features

• High grade ABS Plastic
• Snap on assembly
• Slide on, Slide off Top cover
• Built-in SD card cover
• Fits standard RPI5 HAT

What's in the box?

1 x Argon Poly+ 5 red and black case
1 x 30mm PWM fan with Pi 5 header and 2 mounting screws
1 x Black heatsink 19mm x 14mm x 7mm
1 x mini screwdriver

Note: This case has enough space if you rather want to fit the Raspberry Pi Active Cooler (not included) as per below pic.

Resources

Opening the red case top

The red cover slides about 1/2cm away from the USB ports and can then be lifted up.

Fan installation

The label on the fan should be facing you when mounting it to the case top. You will need to apply pressure on the screws when mounting the fan so that they can create a unique thread to hold the fan in place.

Raspberry Pi 5 board installation

To fit your Raspberry Pi into the Poly+ case, there will be plastic tabs on either side of the black rood piece labelled "Poly+" that you need to remove by squeezing both sides together. The Pi can then be inserted, with the Poly+ roof being clipped back into place over the USB ports

This battery holder accepts 3x AA batteries and features a USB (female) output giving you a different way to power your project compared to traditional battery holders. The onboard switch allows convenient power control and the slide-out top cover makes it quick and easy to change batteries.

In terms of voltage, AA batteries are usually available in 1.2V (rechargeable/carbon-zinc) or 1.5V (alkaline), meaning this USB battery holder can offer between 3.6V and 4.5V depending on which battery chemistry is used and their condition.

Whilst this won't power most 5V development boards, it works great with the Raspberry Pi Pico (when combined with a Micro-USB cable) which can accept 1.8V to 5.5V input - so you really can't go wrong no matter which type of battery you use!

We also think this might be super-duper for powering simple circuits and projects (or even other 3.3V devices with a wide input range). Perhaps combine with a USB breakout cable or simply splice one of your old unwanted cables at home?

Features

• 3x AA battery holder
• Can be used with rechargeable or standard AA batteries
• Up to 3.6V to 4.5V output (depending on battery type and condition/charge)
• On/Off switch for power control
• USB-A female output

An all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for WS2812/Neopixel and APA102/Dotstar addressable LED strips.

Plasma 2350 is powered and programmable by USB-C and, because USB-C is capable of drawing up to 3A of power, that's enough to power a healthy chunk of LEDs. There's a useful button that you could use to switch between effects, plus a reset button and an onboard RGB LED. We've also popped a QW/ST connector on there, to make it super easy to plug in Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakouts.

You can buy a Plasma 2350 on its own, or in a kit with a USB-C cable and some super-cool LED stars, so you can get started lighting stuff up right away.

Features

• Powered by RP2350A (Dual Arm Cortex M33 running at up to 150MHz with 520KB of SRAM)
• 4MB of QSPI flash supporting XiP
• Compatible with 5V WS2812/Neopixel/SK6812 and APA102/Dotstar/SK9822 LEDs

Connecting Breakouts

If your breakout has a QW/ST connector on board, you can plug it straight in with a JST-SH to JST-SH cable, or you can easily connect any of our I2C breakouts with a JST-SH to JST-SH cable coupled with a Qw/ST to Breakout Garden adaptor.

• Breakouts currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython build

We've also broken out the I2C, analog, UART and debug pins so you can solder things like breakouts or analog potentiometers directly to them (or solder on a strip of header and plug the whole shebang into a breadboard).

About RP2350

The RP2350 chip is the Double Quarter Pounder & Fries to the RP2040's Double Cheeseburger and can have one or more RISC-V burgers instead of either of the M33 ARMs, to stretch the metaphor.

In addition to the modern M33 ARM cores, there are sides of: more PIO capability, a variety of low power states for sipping electrons, a whole security system and some sprinklings of specialist digital video circuits to offload DVI/HDMI output.

You can expect a tasty boost in performance - our "real world" MicroPython tests are running up to 2x faster compared to RP2040, and floating point number crunching in C/C++ is up to 20x faster. The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.

RP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products. 

What's in the box?
