This PCIe Flex Cable gives you a variety of options for connecting and placing your Pimoroni NVMe Base with Raspberry Pi 5. They have a ‘one way’ design with 16 pads at the Raspberry Pi 5 end and 18 pins at the NVMe Base end to prevent incorrect installation. The designed is set up for PCIe Gen 3 speeds and support Gen 2 perfectly fine also.
Ding dong! Hear that? It’s the PiCowbell ringing, letting you know that the new Adafruit PiCowbell OV5640 Camera Breakout with 160-Degree Wide-Angle Lens is in stock.
This is a quality OV5640 camera with a 5 Megapixel sensor element, a 160-degree wide angle lens, plus all the support circuitry you need to start taking pictures with your Pico or Pico W. You can grab raw RGB images for image analysis, or use the built in JPEG encoding to save images to an SD card or upload them to adafruit.io.
The RP2040 chip has a fast PIO interface peripheral and enough memory to interface with ‘DVP’ (8-bit parallel digital) cameras. These camera sensors have 8 image data pins, Pixel Clock, H Sync and V Sync signals, plus I2C configuration interface and a Reset plus power Down pin. That does mean a lot of GPIO are used! But we still have 6 GPIO pin available even after adding an SD cart and shutter button.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
