Our Kits come with the latest version of NOOBS – New Out Of the Box Software pre-installed, While we will certainly try our best to assist with any software related questions we cannot offer any kind of official support on community driven, open source, or non-PiShop produced proprietary software.
NOOBS, Raspbian, LibreELEC and OSMC are all open-source software, please visit the developer's respective websites for more info.
So what is NOOBS anyway?In Short, NOOBS is an installer, when you switch your RPI on NOOBS will guide you through the installation of your software of choice... seem confusing? Don't worry it really couldn't be easier
- Raspbian - a full desktop for normal day to day work. Email, internet, office suite, programming etc.
- LibreELEC RPi2 - our preferred version of Kodi for use as a media centre.
- OSMC Pi2 - for more control of your Kodi media centre
- Windows 10 IoT Core - nope this is not windows 10. It simply enables you to run projects and apps for the IOT environment.
- Retropie, Lakka and Recalbox - retro gaming for the RPi.
A whole bunch of other really cool technical info can be found here.
Getting Started with Raspberry Pi
Get started with the Raspberry Pi with this pre-boxed Media kit
These kits are perfect for beginners that are just getting exposed to the Raspberry Pi, Media enthusiasts looking to stream online content with Kodi, developers looking to exploit the many advantages of the RPI's GPIO pins and anybody looking to get some cool goodies at a great price! They contain all of the essential hardware that you need to get up and running in no time.
The kit

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
- 10 x Resistors 470 Ohm
- 10 x Resistors 220 Ohm

What you will need:
- Raspberry Pi 3 Essentials kit: https://www.pishop.co.za/store/custom-kits/raspberry-pi-3-kit-boxed
- 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
- Air quality sensor
- Vibration sensor
These with one of our Robotics kits will allow you to play in every project available and give you all the knowledge of physical computing needed to start building your own robot! Or at the very least keep the little ones busy for quite a long time with minimal other resources needed.
Raspberry Pi YouTube Workshop Kit
This kit aims to help you create your very first program and wiring in LEDs, buttons and buzzers, to more complex component coding with a digital thermometer, light dependent resistor and motion sensor. The kit consists of basic prototyping components such as a breadboard and jumper wires, and includes a range of components including LEDs, resistors, capacitors, a button and buzzer, a thermistor, photoresistor and PIR sensor. Together, the kit and supporting material will take any Raspberry Pi enthusiast from novice to pro in 10 simple steps!
