*NOTE - No longer available - however we do have this: Adafruit I2S 3W Stereo Speaker Bonnet for Raspberry Pi [Mini Kit] *

Remember those cereal commercials that would always say, "part of a complete breakfast"? Well the Pi Zero's a lot like that bowl of cereal - while it's great on its own, you need a lot of accessories to make it a complete meal. 

The Pi Zero Stereo W Bonnet Pack sets you up with the WiFi-enabled Pi Zero W, and our I2S 3W Stereo Speaker Bonnet. This bonnet uses digital sound standard I2S right on the 2x20 pin GPIO header, providing really crisp audio. The digital data goes right into the amplifier so there's no static like you hear from the headphone jack. And it's super easy to get started. We even include speakers that you can plug right in! Once you've set up your Pi Zero, run our installer script, reboot and you're ready to jam!

Note: Due to popular demand, there might be some delay in shipping products containing Pi Zero W!

Our tutorial will get you set up with instructions, you'll be rockin' out in 15 minutes.

This pack includes:

Don't forget to make sure you have a good strong 5V power supply - especially if you're using the 3W 4 ohm speakers at full blast! Our 2.4A power plug is recommended and not included.
You'll also need a microSD card with NooBs or other Raspberry Pi operating system software, also not included.

Some light through-hole soldering is required to attach the headers onto the Pi Zero. A soldering iron and solder are required to perform this task.


Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

GPIO
General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
Headers
Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
I2S
I2S is a digital audio interface used to send sound data between chips, such as from a microcontroller to an audio amplifier or DAC. It matters if your project needs cleaner digital audio output than a basic buzzer or PWM signal can provide.
