Breakout Garden for Raspberry Pi 400

Breakout Garden for Raspberry Pi 400 plugs into your Pi 400's GPIO pins and lets you connect up to three Pimoroni breakouts, conveniently positioned facing you and the right way up. Perfect for adding environmental sensors, displays, LEDs, and more without soldering or breadboards.

The right-angle format is designed exclusively for the Pi 400's unique form factor. Simply plug in your breakouts, install the software, and start building your project.

Key Features

• 3 Breakout Slots – 2× I2C (5-pin) and 1× SPI (7-pin)
• Right-Angle Design – Breakouts face you for easy viewing
• Plug and Play – No soldering or breadboards required
• Broken-Out Pins – Extra GPIO access along the top edge
• Reverse Polarity Protection – Built into Pimoroni breakouts

Specifications

• I2C Slots: 2× (5-pin, 0.1" pitch)
• SPI Slot: 1× (7-pin, 0.1" pitch, CS1/BCM7, GPIO BCM19)
• Compatibility: Raspberry Pi 400 exclusive

How It Works

• I2C Breakouts – Use any slot; each device has a unique address
• SPI Breakouts – Use the 7-pin SPI slot (displays, etc.)
• Multiple I2C Devices – Works together if addresses differ

Ideal For

• Environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, air quality)
• Adding displays and notifications
• LED projects and status indicators
• Rapid prototyping without wiring
