If you done using a breadboard for Pico and are ready to take your prototype to solder, you will love this board.

It can be tricky to work out which pin is which when using a Raspberry Pi Pico
with prototyping board. The MonkMakes Pico Proto PCB solves this problem by
labeling the Pico pins on the PCB.



The MonkMakes Pico Proto PCB makes it easy to make soldered prototypes using the Raspberry Pi Pico. You can solder the Pico to the prototyping board using the castelations around the edge of the board, or using header pins, or even solder header sockets onto the Pico Proto PCB so that you can easily swap out the Pico.

Specifications

The layout of the Pico Proto PCB is modelled on a 400-point breadboard, and after the Pico is soldered to the PCB, there are 10 more rows, that can be used for through hole components

You might also need one of our tested 128GB, 256GB or 512GB NVMe drives or a clear acrylic case to protect your RPi5 and NVMe Base.

NVMe Base is a PCIe extension board for Raspberry Pi 5. Simply populate it with an M-key NVMe SSD (2230 to 2280 sizes supported) and mount it under your Pi for a compact and fast storage solution - It even comes with rubber feet!

It's the perfect solution for turning your Raspberry Pi 5 into a file server, media centre, reverse proxy, etc. - really any task that benefits from large amounts of fast storage, especially with random high operations per second (IOPS) workloads. In short it's a game changer!

NVMe base follows the new "PIP" design guidelines provided by Raspberry Pi ensuring that it will be easy to use and be supported long term by updates to Raspberry Pi OS - though it is very early days and things are improving rapidly there!

What's in the box?

1 x NVMe Base PCB with M.2 Slot (M-Key)
1 x 'PCIe Pipe' Flat Flex Cable
4 x Rubber feet
1 x M2 bolt and 2x nuts for SSD mounting
4 x 7mm M2.5 standoffs for base mounting
8 x short M2.5 bolts for base mounting 
4 x long M2.5 bolts for 'pass-thru' mounting with a HAT

You might also need...

• a NVMe drive. Make sure you choose one that fits your NVMe board.
• an acrylic case or metal case to house your new setup

Driver compatibility

We have tested NVMe Base with the following M.2 NVMe drives successfully. We have usually tested one drive from one batch, so this is not comprehensive, or an 'Approved' list, but it's a good guide for drives to seek out:

• AData Legend 700
• AData Legend 800
• AData XPG SX8200 Pro
• Axe Memory Generic Drive
• Crucial P2 M.2
• Crucial P3 M.2
• Crucial P3 Plus M.2
• Inland PCIe NVMe SSD
• Kingston KC3000
• Kioxia Exceria NVMe SSD
• Kioxia Exceria G2 NVMe SSD
• Lexar NM620
• Lexar NM710
• Netac NV2000 NVMe SSD
• Netac NV3000 NVMe SSD
• Origin Inception TLC830 Pro NVMe
• PNY CS1030
• Sabrent Rocket 4.0
• Sabrent Rocket Nano
• Samsung 980
• Samsung 980 Pro (500GB/1TB)
• Team MP33
• Western Digital Black SN750 SE (Phison Controller

' Maybe' List. Works with quirks/not ideal.

These drives either needed extra power, were a bit quirky when we tested them or we've had reports of them being problematic. It may just be the drive we had, but they're probably best avoided.

• Kioxia BG4 2230. Performance very patchy. Runs at quite a high temp.
• Patriot P300 - These drives have various controllers, some of which seem to be incompatible at this time.
• Patriot P310 - These drives have various controllers, some of which seem to be incompatible at this time.
• Samsung 970 EVO Plus. Runs at a higher temp. Some user reports of problems under heavy load or not showing up on boot.
• Samsung 980 Pro (250GB). Reports of this size not working.
• WD Blue SN550. Our fresh unit could be used as storage but could not be booted from.
• WD Red SN700. Slow to boot first time, but worked and booted OK.
• WD SN740. Our fresh unit worked well. YMMV.
• WD Black SN770. Our fresh unit worked fine. YMMV.
• Patriot P300. All units we've tested work but we have heard of a 256GB/1TB variant that doesn't.

'Avoid' List. We've had problems or reports of problems.

• Transcend 110Q (TS500GMTE110Q)
• WD Green/Blue/Red/Black not in the above list. Variable results or not working because of quirks of a SanDisk controller/firmware. Our SN350 and SN570 prevented the RPi 5 from booting at all especially.

Otherwise most M.2 NVMe drive (Not SATA!) you have lying around should work fine.

Firmware

For the most hassle-free experience, make sure your Raspberry Pi OS is up to date, and your RPi 5 firmware is updated to 2023-12-06 (Dec 6th) or newer. This supports all the features of the RPi PCIe spec and means you don't have to mess with config files to get started.

Software update on the RPi OS should do this for you, but to force it you can:

• open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T)
• run sudo raspi-config and choose 'Latest' under Advanced Options > Bootloader Version.

Running sudo rpi-eeprom-update in the Terminal will tell you which version of firmware is running.

PCIe 3 Mode

To enable experimental and not-officially-supported PCIe 3 mode, add the follow line to the [all] section at the end of your Raspberry Pi /boot/firmware/config.txt file like this:

[all]
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3

Save and reboot - your drive is ready to use!

Formatting the NVMe and booting from NVMe

If you want to boot from the NVMe drive, follow these extra steps:

1. Make sure your firmware is updated as above!
2. Format the drive using Raspberry Pi Imager
3. You can do this with your NVMe Base installed by booting the RPi 5 from SD card and running Raspberry Pi Imager from the start menu.
4. Open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T).
5. Run sudo raspi-config
6. Choose NVMe/USB boot under Advanced Options > Boot Order.
7. Reboot your RPi 5.

Notes

• Always power off your RPi and disconnect the power supply before installing or uninstalling the NVMe Base.
• NVMe Base offers a general purpose PCIe x1 connection - while we know most people want to add fast storage in theory you can use other devices with it, we just can't help you make them work! :-D What Would Jeff (Geerling) Do?

Firstly the Sonoff 4CH R3 is a 4-gang Wi-Fi Smart Switch. It is designed to give you the ability to integrate smart control into your existing home. It has 4 gangs that can be used to control lights as well as other home appliances at the same time in four areas of your home.
However there is a major difference between 4CHR3 and 4CHPROR3, which is the 4CHPRO R3 is designed with an additional function for RF control.

Additionally when compared with 4CH R2, you can access self-locking, interlock and inching mode on APP directly.
The new improvement is for users to set these 3 working modes on eWeLink APP instead of the hardware itself, therefore making it easier to operate.
So you can enable self-locking mode to turn on/off 4 connected devices independently, interlock mode to turn on 1 connected device every time and turn off the rest of devices simultaneously as well as inching mode to turn on 1 connected device and then make it turn off automatically after a given time (0.5 – 3600s).

Features

• Remotely control connected lights or devices via APP
• 3 working modes with self-locking, interlock and inching mode
• Support scheduling a timer to make devices automatically start and stop to work
• Customize smart scenes to make the device connected with the switch to trigger other devices
• Share the control permission of devices to other accounts to control together
• Check real-time ON/OFF status of devices on your mobile phone
• Power on state allows users to set the On/Off/Keep status for the connected device before power failure as well as ensure it remains the arranged status after power restoration
