The Great Search – PCI express x1 connector #PCIe #TheGreatSearch #DigiKey#Adafruit @Adafruit @DigiKey
This week on the Great Search (video), we’ve had our eyes on the new Pi 5 announcement – they’re not shipping yet but we did get some tantalizing new images including a new PCIe connector on board. PCIe is a high speed bus that will make it a lot easier to add hardware to a Pi computer, including storage cards, cell modules, radios, and co-processors that can use 1 lane of data.
A PCIe HAT is expected from Raspberry Pi at some point, and there’s a few folks trying to make adapters for M.2, which we covered on The Great Search earlier. So this time around let’s look for PCIe sockets. We’ll try to find one that is SMT and vertical, so a wide variety of cards can be inserted.
