This bundled breakout kit made for easy connection from your Raspberry Pi GPIO to the breadboard.
The bundle is discounted to save you some hard earned cash rather than paying full price for loose components.
What's in the box?
1 x BreadBoard 400 tie points
1 x 40-Pin Gray Ribbon Cable (29cm)
1 x GPIO T Board for easy breadboard connection
Fire four solenoids, spin two DC motors or step one bi-polar or uni-polar stepper with 1.2A per channel (3A peak) using the TB6612.
We really like these dual H-bridges, so if you want to control motors without a shield or HAT these are easy to include on any solderless breadboard or perma-proto.
We solder on TB6612 onto a breakout board for you here, with a polarity protection FET on the motor voltage input and a pullup on the "standby" enable pin. Each breakout chip contains two full H-bridges (four half H-bridges). That means you can drive four solenoids, two DC motors bi-directionally, or one stepper motor. Just make sure they're good for 1.2 Amp or less of current, since that's the limit of this chip. They do handle a peak of 3A but that's just for a short amount of time. What we like most about this particular driver is that it comes with built in kick-back diodes internally so you dont have to worry about the inductive kick damaging your project or driver!
There's two digital inputs per H-bridge (one for each half of the bridge) as well as a PWM input per driver so you can control motor speed. Runs at 2.7V-5V logic. The motor voltage is separate from the logic voltage. Good for motor voltages from 4.5V up to 13.5V! This wont work well for 3V motors.
Comes as one assembled and tested breakout plus a small strip of header. You'll need to do some light soldering to attach the header onto the breakout PCB. Arduino, motors, and power supply not included. Check out the handy tutorial on assembly and wiring!

It is very useful in high-reduction drives in the occasion that need to improve the wrap-around capabilities of belts. Widely used in milling machine, gear shaper, drilling machine, CNC engine lathe, hobbing machine or other machinery transmission occasions.
This nifty little USB pig-tail adds audio input and output through USB. It's a cheap and cheerful solution for audio input to your Raspberry Pi, and the short cable design means it plays nicely with the other USB ports on a Pi.
After testing a wide range of USB audio dongles, this was the winner through being simple, low on noise and artefacts, and free from pointless buttons, bells, and whistles. The ferrite bead on the cable is a nice little extra.
Usage
In Raspbian, this device should show up in the audio control panel automagically (go to the Raspberry Pi menu, then Preferences, then Audio Device Settings, and select USB PnP Sound Device).
We recommend providing a good signal to the input, as it provides no gain/boost for passive mics.
Once you're up and running, record audio input on your Pi, in the terminal, by typing:arecord -D plughw:1 -f cd /tmp/recording.wav

Description:
A sophisticated, hackable, 32x24 pixel thermal camera breakout! Use it to monitor the temperature of your CPU or coffee pot, or to build your own heat-seeking night vision camera. Works with Raspberry Pi or Arduino.
It's perfect for building into projects - industrial, scientific, or just fun - and much more affordable than most thermal cameras. Our breakout makes it easy to use the camera with your Raspberry Pi or Arduino, using I2C and 3-6V supply. And it's available in two different fields of view, 55° (standard) or 110° (wide angle) depending on your preference.
The MLX90640 far-infrared camera is an array of 768 (32x24) thermal sensors that can detect temperatures from -40 to 300°C with approximately 1°C accuracy and up to 64FPS! The applications of this camera are manifold: measure the heat or heat dissipation of devices like CPUs, circuit boards, or electrical appliances; use it to identify thermal inefficiencies in your home; or use it for presence detection to identify bodies in complete darkness.

Depending on how hard your relay works, you might want to add a heat sink to it.
Q:During continuity testing with my multimeter why does my relay on the AC side not switch on?
A: The below info was found at http://www.crydom.com/en/tech/newsletters/solid statements - bench test an ssr.pdf
A multimeter determines impedance by injecting a small amount of voltage through it's probes into the circuit being tested. It then measures the current flowing through the probes and calculates resistance. Easy enough; Resistance = Voltage / Current! However, as we just discussed above, a solid state relay’s output turns on by “stealing” a bit of voltage from the AC mains in order to supply current to the gate of the SCRs. Simply put, if the AC mains is not connected to the relay then the output cannot turn on. Since the voltage and current produced by a multimeter is not sufficient enough to turn on the SCRs, the output of a solid state relay will remain in the off state; even with the input signal applied. As a result, SSRs will sometimes fail an incoming inspection because the engineer expects to see a significant change in the output impedance when they turn on the relay.The most effective way to bench test a solid state relay is to construct a simple test circuit consisting of a DC power supply or battery (a 9Vdc battery will work fine in most cases ) and a 60W or 100W light bulb.
This module can easily convert your USB charger's power and data cable into conventional DIP 2.54mm pins.
