Description of GeeekPi Prototype Breakout Breadboard Raspberry Computer Components

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

Not bad, but the camera cable doesn't fit

One of the reasons I bought this board was because I thought I would love the tracks. 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…

Pros
  • The holes on the bottom are connected by traces that mimic solderless prototyping boards you're familiar with. There are also long power dividers for +3V, +5V and pi ground.
Cons
  • Appearance
