Raspberry Pi turns Superhero with the Pi click shield
The Pi Click shield is like a superhero suit for your Raspberry Pi - it fits tightly, and transforms
it from a mild mannered mini-computer to a click board enhanced supergadget capable of amazing feats...
To get more technical, it's a shield carrying a mikroBus™ host socket, you just connect it to your Raspberry
Pi's connector, and you can start inventing with Click boards.
A Click board is a small extension board carrying a specific component that enables your Pi
to interact with the environment.
With more than 70 different click-boards to chose from, you can give your Raspberry Pi powers of
thunder detection, proximity, heat or color sensing, and you can even combine those
together. Like a comic-book, it's more up to your imagination than anything else.
If you only used your Pi for simple stuff, like playing movies, now you can turn it into a weather station,
a RFid door lock, or a smart light controller like shown here:

All that potential with a simple $5.80 shield. That's probably less than a pack of
batteries for your TV remote. We bet you already got some ideas for your own inventions
- order the Shield and a click board that fits your idea and start working now.
Yours sincerely,
