Raspberry Pi 2 Starter Kit
The Raspberry Pi 2 Starter Kit provides everything you need to get started with the Raspberry Pi 2 and GPIO programming. Using the included SparkFun Pi Wedge, you can connect your Pi's 40-pin GPIO header to a full-size breadboard and start controlling LEDs, buttons, and custom circuits — no soldering required.
Comprehensive online guides walk you through setup, programming in multiple languages, and example projects with detailed images and sample code.
