What is it?

RPi-Spark is a pHAT that let you to easy and fast to build interesting applications with GPIO of Raspberry Pi.

Easy to use We have provided drivers and SDK framework, let you use python to develop, easy, quick and power. At the same time we also provided a CLI interface that you can use your favorite languages, like Bash Script, Node.js, Java, PHP, C/C++, Basic, Pascal and so all.

Blocks RPi-Spark supports building from block programming, allowing you to realize great ideas faster!

Have fun The RPi-Spark make learning Python fun. Also you can use it to make your own games, music player, alarm clock, remote control cars, balance cars, motion detectors, home smart controllers and more interesting things.

Easy to extend The RPi-Spark already has some interesting sensors and components, and is ready to expand more sensors and features, you make connect more sensors and devices with I2C, SPI and UART, its will so easier.

Why did you make it?

When I used Raspberry Pi to learn Python and completed the GPIO application, I used the breadboard to build the experimental circuit, but I felt some troubles: Every time I make a new GPIO application, there are many repetitive circuits to be built using the breadboard to make the circuit, such as LCD display, buttons, gravity acceleration, temperature sensor, audio playback, etc. At the same time, these circuits are bulky and confusing. So I thought about whether I could make a pHAT board to combine these circuits and keep the PCB size compact. This way I can learn more effectively and create new GPIO applications faster.

We think it will make more fun with learning RPi-Spark, so you can use it to develop python games, and use it to create interesting apps that belong to you. At the same time, We have reserved 19 GPIO expansion pads for easy access to more sensors and expansion circuits. You can solder a pin header, This will allow RPi-Spark directly into the breadboard.

What makes it special?

We make RPi-Spark SDKs that let developers focus on what applications RPi-Spark does, and don't rewrite basic driver code. Use the SDK be better combined and shared of RPi-Spark app.
