The Raspberry Breadstick is a development board that is long, slim, and tasty. Its distinctive form factor makes it easier to get started with electronics.
Using a microcontroller development board and a breadboard, you'll start prototyping whether your objective is to create an interactive artwork or a robot. When using conventional dev-boards for this, a tangled mess of jumper wires soon results. The Raspberry Breadstick provides a clean prototype experience that is simpler to comprehend and troubleshoot by distributing its I/O pins throughout the breadboard's length, doing away with the necessity for lengthy jumper cables.
The Raspberry Breadstick is designed with classrooms and experienced hobbyists and engineers in mind, but it also does away with the need for long jumper cables.
The Raspberry Breadstick provides a hassle-free development experience by fully supporting both CircuitPython and MicroPython.
Accept Python's user-friendly syntax as a valuable ability that may be used to a variety of businesses. Why waste time and effort learning complicated coding languages when Python can help you complete projects more quickly? For those who would rather use that flavor, Raspberry Breadsticks are also compatible with the Arduino programming language.

The Raspberry Breadstick has a ton of fascinating parts to make sure your discovery is entertaining and instructive. Easily control 24 bright RGB LEDs with the Adafruit DotStar or FastLED libraries. Collect accelerometer and rotation data from the 6-axis IMU to enable engrossing LED point-of-view displays that respond to your movements as you wave your breadstick in the air!
The Raspberry Breadstick was made with your convenience in mind. Its thoughtful pin spacing makes effective use of each pin, making your component layout neat and orderly. Our design keeps the workplace neat and orderly, in contrast to conventional development boards that require lengthy jumper wires to connect every component.
It is still far from reaching its $7000 target as it is now in the CrowdSupply crowdfunding stage. On January 18, 2024, funding will expire. The Breadstick retails for $55, including free shipping inside the US and $18 for international shipping.
