Microcontroller addon boards

We carry a variety of microcontroller development boards for the Raspberry Pi Model A+/B+/2B with a focus on flexibility and hackability, while still being easy to use. All boards come with open source software that runs on the Raspberry Pi.

There are 2 boards based on 8 bit Atmel AVR (AVRPi-x), and one board based on 32 bit ARM Cortex M3 (ARMinARM).
