pi-top

Our Sensor Foundation Kit, a metal ‘bento box’, contains 14 plug & play components you can use with your pi-top [4], including programmable sensors, buttons, and LEDs.

The kit includes our Foundation Plate which attaches to your pi-top [4]. Plug components into the foundation plate and get started right away, following step-by-step tutorials to learn the basics of coding and physical computing. Then continue your learning by progressing into projects in advanced coding, robotics, cybersecurity, and AI.

What's in the box?

Pi-top [4] DIY Edition provides full access to Raspberry Pi's ports and GPIO, and comes with:

• 5-hour internal battery
• Power management system
• Integrated heat sink and cooling fan
• Mini OLED screen and programmable buttons
• Integrated 1-watt loudspeaker

Please note:
You’ll need to install your own Raspberry Pi 4 4Gb. See our installation how-to video .

To get the most from your pi-top, it's best to run pi-topOS. Some of the advanced features of pi-top are not managed by Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) or other operating systems.

You can use your own 15V USB-C PD power supply (we recommend 30W minimum for maximum accessory compatibility), or you can purchase our pi-top Power Supply. Also consider adding our Display Cable with USB and HDMI adaptors, and 16Gb SD card to your order.
