The 801 prototyping Pi Plate kit is an add-on for the Raspberry Pi, designed to facilitate prototyping and development. It features a large dual-style prototyping area, with half breadboard-style and half perfboard-style sections, allowing easy wiring of DIP chips, sensors, and other components. All GPIO, I2C, SPI, and power pins are broken out to 0.1-inch strips along the edges for straightforward connections, and labeled 3.5mm screw terminal blocks enable semi-permanent wiring of sensors and LEDs. Additionally, there is a 4-position terminal block for general wiring, and a dedicated SOIC surface-mount chip breakout area beneath the metal connectors for chips that don't come in DIP format. The plate includes a bumper to align securely over the Raspberry Pi Ethernet port, and features symmetric 2x13 GPIO headers for flexible orientation. Suitable for hobby and educational projects, the kit contains the PCB, various headers, terminal blocks, and a bumper to ensure proper fit.
