●Description
Design, code & make anything you can imagine.
pi-top [4] Complete is the fastest and simplest way to start using Raspberry Pi. Everything you need to power up your projects is pre-installed in this rugged case, including the Raspberry Pi 4 itself.
Paired with our Sensor Foundation Kit, pi-top [4] Complete is a Raspberry Pi kit that will take you from beginner to superuser. With the modular pi-top [4] system you can create anything from a musical instrument to the ultimate alarm system. Explore our online project library to learn to code and control your creations.
Please note:You can use your own components and sensors - pi-top [4] is compatible with Grove components, Arduino, BBC micro:bit and many others. Or purchase pi-top [4] with our Sensor Foundation Kit including 14 components including LEDs, sound & light sensors, buttons and more.
Every pi-top [4] comes with the latest operating system, pi-topOS SIRIUS. Built on the rock-solid foundations of Raspbian (Buster), it's packed with features and sports a clean, crisp look and feel.
There's a whole range of apps; from Scratch 3 and Mu for coding to GIMP for image editing and Sonic Pi for making music. There's even access to cool games like Minecraft Raspberry Pi edition.
You'll need to connect to your pi-top [4] to a monitor & keyboard, or to a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer.
