We are adding a range of kits to cater for beginners to start connecting their Raspberry Pi’s with the physical world. While exploring the Projects available we have found no use for the existing GPIO kits we had, so we decided to launch a new kits range to cater specially for everyone new in physical computing that don’t always know where to start and what to buy.
This kit was based on the projects page of the foundations website. Here we found amazingly interesting things to play with and have tons of fun….
In the introductions project we found a really great tutorial for starting to get to know all the different components available for the Raspberry Pi. In these kits we have added everything needed to complete this and most of the other project available on this resource.
We have put together a complete essentials kit for Raspberry Pi GPIO. The kit as well as the content is all based on the Pi Foundations Project club, which is specifically designed to help teach beginners of all ages to code and to build circuits from the very first try. Find the Projects club for Tutorials and resources here: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/physical-computing
Essentials kit contents:
- 1 x Solderless 400 Point Breadboard
- 10 x 10cm male to male jumpers
- 10 x 10cm male to female jumpers
- 10 x 10cm female to female jumpers
- 2 x Red 5mm diffused LED
- 2 x Yellow 5mm diffused LED
- 2 x Blue 5mm diffused LED
- 2 x White 5mm diffused LED
- 2 x Green 5mm diffused LED
- 2 x LED RGB Common Cathode 4-Pin F5 5MM Diode
- 5 x Tactile Push Button Switch with Blue Caps(12mmx12mm)
- 1 x Electrolytic Radial Capacitor 1uF 50V
- 1 x Piezo Transducer - Mini 5V Buzzer (4000Hz)
- 1 x GPIO Reference Board (Model B+,A+,2B and 3B)
- 10 x Resistors 1K Ohm

- Raspberry Pi Zero W Essentials kit: https://www.pishop.co.za/store/custom-kits/raspberry-pi-zero-essentials-kitwireless
Below are the projects you will be able to complete with this kit.
The foundations projects page has so many projects that navigating the pages could be a little bit of an adventure all on its own. So we have done some of the search work for you just to get you started:
In our 2nd add-on pack you will be able to do the below as well.
Going through all the other projects listed there you will need some more goodies. We are working on creating add-on kits to enable you to complete more of the projects.
Below are some of the items you might need to complete all the projects.
- Motor gear
- Motor controller
- Battery Pack
- Camera module
- Sense HAT
- Explorer HAT
- Servo
- Display HAT or Touchscreen

This kit includes
- pcb
- 3 x LEDs, red, yellow and green
- 3 x 330 Ohm resistors
- 8 pin male to male pcb connector
- 1 x Light dependant resistor
- 1 x 1uF capacitor
- 1 x buzzer
- 1 x tactile switch
- Traffic light
- Disco/christmas running lights
- Status indicator LEDs for alarm,robotics or related projects
- Learn how to measure light intensity
- Learn how to detect when a button is pressed
- Basic soldering skills and your soldering kit
- 8 female to female jumpers to connect to your Pi
- 8 male to female jumpers to connect to your Arduino
- Safety first
- Soldering irons get very hot - be careful when soldering to avoid burns.
- It is good practice to shut down the Pi/Arduino and unplug the power before connecting or disconnecting jumpers to the GPIO.
