These white quarter size breadboards are perfect for small  prototyping projects for the Raspberry Pi. With easy clip action on each board rapidly snap extra boards  together! Each board is 3.5cm x 4.5cm and has 170 tie points - just  enough room to build and test a circuit! Tie points are arranged in 34 x  5 pin rows.

Each board features a self-adhesive backing and a  single board will fit alongside the Raspberry Pi inside most cases - two  boards will fit within the footprint of the Raspberry Pi. There's also  two mounting holes for M2 screws on each board, to anchor them down!

• Modular clip function - rapidly snap and unsnap boards and circuits as your project grows
• Self-adhesive backing.
• M2 Mounting Points (screws not included)
• 170 tie points arrange in 34 rows of 5 pins.
• 3.5cm x 4.5cm
• 9.7mm thick, including sticky foam on the bottom
• Weight: 38.9g

If you want to add beeps, tones or alerts to your Raspberry Pi project, you require a Piezo Buzzer! This mini transducer is small but loud, and can be driven with a 1-6V peak-to-peak square wave. To use, connect one pin to ground (either one) and the other pin to a square wave out from a timer or microcontroller. For the loudest tones, stay around 4 KHz. For extra loudness, you can connect both pins to a microcontroller and swap which pin is high or low ('differential drive') for double the volume.

This one plops perfectly into a breadboard and has short legs, so can also easily be mounted on a PCB!

Please Note. This item is externally driven, e.g. requires a microcontroller to produce a tone.

Let your robotic dreams come true with the new DC Stepper Motor HAT from Adafruit. This Raspberry Pi add-on is perfect for any motion project as it can drive up to 4 DC or 2 Stepper motors with full PWM speed control.

Raspberry Pi and motors are not included.

Since the Raspberry Pi does not have a lot of PWM pins, we use a fully-dedicated PWM driver chip onboard to both control motor direction and speed. This chip handles all the motor and speed controls over I2C. Only two pins (SDA & SCL) are required to drive the multiple motors, and since it's I2C you can also connect any other I2C devices or HATs to the same pins.

In fact, you can even stack multiple Motor HATs, up to 32 of them, for controlling up to 64 stepper motors or 128 DC motors (or a mix of the two) - just remember to purchase and solder in a stacking header instead of the one we include.

Motors are controlled by TB6612 MOSFET drivers with 1.2A per channel and 3A peak current capability, a big improvement over L293D drivers and there are built-in flyback diodes as well.

We even had a little space so we added a polarity protection FET on the power pins and a bit of prototyping area. And the HAT is assembled and tested here at Adafruit so all you have to do is solder on the included 2x20 plain header and the terminal blocks.

Lets check out these specs again:

• 4 H-Bridges: TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge (3A peak) with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 13.5VDC.
• Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about 0.5% resolution)
• Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved or micro-stepping.
• Big terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) and power
• Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external 5-12VDC power
• Works best with Raspberry Pi model A , B , Pi 2 B or Pi 3 B.
• Install the easy-to-use Python library, check out the examples and you're ready to go!

Comes with an assembled & tested HAT, terminal blocks, and 2x20 plain header. Some soldering is required to assemble the headers on. Stacking header not included.

Raspberry Pi, motors, and battery pack are not included but we have lots of motors in the shop and all our DC motors, and stepper motors work great. Check out Adafruit's detailed tutorial for tons of info including schematics, wiring diagrams, python libraries and example walkthroughs.
