Sensor Kit v4.0 for Raspberry Pi - 37-Module Ultimate Sensor Kit Kickstart your Raspberry Pi learning journey with a 37-in-1 sensor kit and 35 guided projects. Perfect for classrooms and beginners alike, the HiPi Sensor Kit includes modules and accessories to explore GPIO, sensors, and coding in Python and C. Recommended age: Suitable for learners 12 years and up. Younger students can use the kit with guidance from a teacher or parent. Why you’ll like it Learn by doing: Explore inputs/outputs and sensors with hands-on Python and C examples. 37 sensors & modules with essential prototyping accessories: includes a breadboard and wires so you can build right out of the box. 35 step-by-step projects: From LEDs and buttons to ultrasonic distance, temperature, humidity, and motion. Classroom-ready storage: Durable blue organizer keeps parts together between lessons. ⚠️ Compatibility The manual and software examples are NOT updated for Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm or Raspberry Pi 5. All hardware in the kit is compatible, but you will need to use updated GPIO libraries (gpiozero, lgpio). Python examples run out of the box on Bookworm. For C development, you can use a WiringPi-compatible fork or libgpiod for GPIO control. Remember to enable interfaces such as I²C, SPI, or 1-Wire in Pi OS settings. What you can build Starter lessons cover digital and analog inputs, handling switches and signals, PWM for LEDs and motors, plus using I²C and 1-Wire sensors. Sample projects include: RGB LED fader and pattern generator Distance meter with HC-SR04 1602 I2C display Thermometer & datalogger (DS18B20 / thermistor) Mini weather station (BMP280 humidity sensor) Motion/tilt alarm with buzzer and IR remote Included modules (37) Double-color LED RGB LED Auto-flash LED Relay module Laser emitter Push button Tilt switch Vibration switch IR receiver Active buzzer Passive buzzer Reed switch Photo-interrupt PCF8591 AD/DA converter Raindrop sensor PS2 joystick Potentiometer Analog Hall sensor Hall switch Analog temperature sensor Thermistor Sound sensor Photoresistor (LDR) Flame sensor Gas sensor IR remote control Touch switch HC-SR04 ultrasonic DS18B20 temperature (1-Wire) Rotary encoder Humidity/temperature sensor IR obstacle sensor 1602 I2C LCD BMP280 barometer MPU6050 (accel/gyro) DS1302 RTC Line-tracking sensor Accessories & wiring Breadboard, GPIO extension board, 40-pin GPIO ribbon cable Anti-reverse jumper leads (assorted) Jumper wires: 20× male-to-female, 10× male-to-male Printed user manual (plus downloadable PDF) Resources GitHub: HiPi Sensor Kit v4.0 User Manual Specifications Package dimensions: 210 × 145 × 60 mm Item weight: 716 g Package weight: 803 g FAQ Does this work with the new Pi 5? Yes, all hardware modules are compatible with Raspberry Pi 5. However, the included manual and tutorials were written for Raspberry Pi 4 and older Raspberry Pi OS versions. On Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, Python projects run with updated libraries (gpiozero, lgpio), while C development may require a WiringPi-compatible fork or libgpiod for GPIO control. Any soldering involved? No, you can put your iron down. Modules connect with the included jumpers, breadboard, and GPIO extension. What programming language is used? All example projects are provided in Python and C. No drag-and-drop visual environment (such as Dragit) is included. Is this good for classrooms? Yes. Lessons are short, repeatable, and the storage case keeps sets organized between sessions.
