upgrade two years ago. Find out what’s new with the new Model B+ computer.

ExpEYES Science Kit
The ExpEYES kit brings the power of a professional science lab to a personal computer. If that
computer is a Raspberry Pi, you’ll get lots of great experiments at a very affordable price.
Service

Pi UPS
The Pi UPS bridges short lapses in the power supply and shuts down your Rasp Pi safely.

Touch Displays
For mobile access, you can connect the Rasp Pi to a small touchscreen instead of a large HDMI screen.

HDMIPi
The HDMIPi 9-inch HD screen has been a hotly anticipated addon for the Raspberry Pi. We talked with HDMIPi creator David Mellor.
