Raspberry Pi Model B Starter Pack – Includes a Raspberry Pi
You want to get hacking with your Pi fast, right? Get everything you need to start with the Adafruit Starter Pack for Raspberry Pi. It’s the perfect accompaniment to your new Pi, everything you need to boot up your Pi Model B and get going. We pre-assemble the Cobbler for you, no soldering required.
This pack includes a single Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB RAM! Please note this is a pack for the older Model B Pi. We recommend upgrading to the B+ unless you have a reason to stick with the B. Click here for the B+ starter pack!
This pack contains:
- Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB RAM Please note some boards are made in the UK, some China. WE DO NOT KNOW IN ADVANCE WHICH ONES YOU MAY RECEIVE!
- Adafruit Pi Case – Keeps your Pi snug and safe, and is compatible with the GPIO cable and cobbler! Durable and chic, snaps together in seconds.
- 3' long USB Micro-B Cable – Use this to power the Pi from a computer or the 5V 1A adapter
- 5V 1A power adapter – this ain't no regular USB power plug! We had these custom made specifically for use with embedded Linux machines like the Pi. It provides clean 1A minimum with 5.25V to overcome the 0.25V drop of the USB cable
- USB TTL console cable – The easiest method by far to talk to the Pi – simply connect the black, green and white wires to the GPIO header and connect using a terminal program! Works great for 'headless' Pi hacking
- 4GB SD card for Raspberry Pi preinstalled with Raspbian Wheezy – 4GB microSDHC card programmed with the latest Raspberry Pi Linux distribution.
- Adafruit Pi Cobbler with GPIO cable – We now have this part pre-assembled so you don't have to solder it! Makes connecting to the GPIO/I2C/SPI/Power pins easy as pie, for Model B Revision 1.0
- Large full-size breadboard – This breadboard has plenty of space for a Cobbler and your circuits, with an adhesive back you can attach it. We now ship white breadboards, not clear ones
- Premium Male/Male Jumper Wires – 20 x 6" (150mm) – These jumper wires are great for making wire harness or jumpering between headers on PCBs. We include the longer ones so they work well with the full-size breadboard.
- USB WiFi Module – Give your Rasp Pi the Internet with this USB port WiFi module, this module is compact but has great range and is plenty fast.
- Embroidered Raspberry Pi badge – beautiful jewel-tone embroided badges are made with solar power and are iron on. Adafruit supports the Raspberry Pi foundation with donations and have permission to make these badges.
- BONUS PARTS! Everyone loves bonuses so we include some parts that will get you through some of the tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System. These include:
- 1x Photo Cell
- 5x 10K 5% 1/4W Resistor
- 5x 560 ohm 5% 1/4W Resistor
- 1x Diffused 10mm Blue LED
- 1x Electrolytic Capacitor – 1.0uF
- 1x Diffused 10mm Red LED
- 1x Diffused 10mm Green LED
- 3x 12mm Tactile Switches

Budget Pack for Raspberry Pi Model B (Doesn’t include RasPi)
An optimized collection of parts and pieces to experiment with Raspberry Pi at home, school or work. Great for students and those that want to get their feet wet, no soldering required! THIS PACK DOES NOT INCLUDE A RASPBERRY PI MODEL B and is NOT compatible with Model B+.
Contains:
- Adafruit Pi Case – Keeps your Pi snug and safe, and is compatible with the GPIO cable and cobbler! Durable and chic, snaps together in seconds.
- 3' long USB Micro-B Cable – Use this to power the Pi from a computer or the 5V 1A adapter
- 5V 1A power adapter – this ain't no regular USB power plug! We had these custom made specifically for use with embedded Linux machines like the Pi. It provides clean 1A minimum with 5.25V to overcome the 0.25V drop of the USB cable
- SD Card 4GB size – 2GB is a little too small, we think. This card works perfectly with our reader below and is ideal for loading in our educational Pi distro – The current NOOBS (1.3.3 and later) is too large for 4GB, so if you want to use Raspbian, just load that in directly (see our tutorial for how)
- Adafruit Pi Cobbler kit with GPIO cable – fully assembled and tested! No soldering required– makes connecting to the GPIO/I2C/SPI/Power pins easy as pie
- Half-size solderless breadboard – Space to plug in the Cobbler and some other electronic parts
- Premium Male/Male Jumper Wires – 20 x 3" (75mm) – These jumper wires are great for making wire harness or jumpering between headers on PCBs. They come on a ribbon, simply pull off individual wires as you need.
All of these packs are great ways to start and will let you boot up & connect your Pi to the ‘net and follow these tutorials to whet your appetite:
- Introduction to outputs – Light up an LED when you get more email
- Introduction to inputs – Play MP3 audio files when three different buttons are pressed
- Introduction to sensors – Reading a photo cell sensor with RC timing to detect light changes
Please note, some boards are made in the UK, some in China.
