SparkFun pi-top [4] Complete

Design, code & make anything you can imagine.

pi-top [4] Complete is the fastest and simplest way to start using Raspberry Pi. Everything you need to power up your projects is pre-installed in this rugged case, including the Raspberry Pi 4 itself.

Paired with our Sensor Foundation Kit, pi-top [4] Complete is a Raspberry Pi kit that will take you from beginner to superuser. With the modular pi-top [4] system you can create anything from a musical instrument to the ultimate alarm system. Explore our online project library to learn to code and control your creations.

Please note: You can use your own components and sensors - pi-top [4] is compatible with Grove components, Arduino, BBC micro:bit and many others. Or purchase pi-top [4] with our Sensor Foundation Kit including 14 components including LEDs, sound & light sensors, buttons and more.

Every pi-top [4] comes with the latest operating system, pi-topOS SIRIUS. Built on the rock-solid foundations of Raspbian (Buster), it�s packed with features and sports a clean, crisp look and feel.

There's a whole range of apps; from Scratch 3 and Mu for coding to GIMP for image editing and Sonic Pi for making music. There�s even access to cool games like Minecraft Raspberry Pi edition.

You'll need to connect to your pi-top [4] to a monitor & keyboard, or to a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer.
