This plate is perfect for when you want to build a stand-alone project with its own user
interface. The 4 directional buttons plus select button allows basic control without having to
attach a bulky computer.
The kit is designed for any Raspberry Pi - version 1 and 2.
If you want plug in a Cobbler or Gertboard at the same time, check out our Stacking Header,
you can fit an IDC cable over it if the Plate is assembled with this part.
