Description of GeeekPi 4X Prototype Breakout DIY Breadboard PCB Shield Board Kit For Raspberry Pi 4 3 2 B+ A+ (Blue)

Suitable for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B & Raspberry Pi 3/2 Model B/B+/ Raspberry Pi 1 Model B / Pi 1 Model A+. PCB Dimensions: 57mm x 66mm, Thickness: 1.5mm. To kick off the HAT party, we have this proto inspired plug in daughter board. It has a grid of 0.1" prototyping soldering holes for attaching chips, resistors, LED, potentiometers and more. The holes are connected underneath with traces to mimic the solderless breadboards you're familiar. There's also long power strips for +3V, +5V and Ground connections to the Pi. Package Includes: 4x PCBs, 4x 2x20pin connectors, 1x Screw Set

Good, but the camera cable doesn't fit

One of the reasons I bought this board was that I thought I would like the rails. I do not know. The blank pads in one of the corners caught my attention and I learned they were for the EEPROM, which allows the device to identify itself to the RPi and is required for the device to conform to HAT specifications. The traces go to pins on the RPi that are dedicated to this purpose (i.e. Gpios are not wasted). However, for me I would look for a replacement due to the CSI cable slot being misaligned

Pros
  • Suitable for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3/2 Model B/B+/ Raspberry Pi 1 Model B / Pi 1 Model A+.
Cons
  • Available in white only
