Requirements

  • Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian
  • VL53L0X distance sensor
  • Neopixel LED strip (WS2813)
  • USB Audio output device (e.g. usb -> 3.5inch audio converter)
  • Raspberry Pi breakout board with connectors for sensors (See Breakout directory)

Installation Instructions

Download New Raspbian headless image and flash sd card

On a Mac:

Questions

What parts does the RpiBreakout use?

3 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the RpiBreakout KiCad files?

From the ijager/FerrmRidder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RpiBreakout/RpiBreakout.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RpiBreakout design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ijager before reusing the design.
