Note : the Pi, cables and sensors are NOT included.
The Pioneer600 is a blue expansion board that clicks onto the GPIO pins of Raspberry Pi and adds a range of additional features.
First of these features we noticed was a five-way joystick and 0.96-inch OLED display. This is backed up by a dual-LED and buzzer. On closer inspection, we discovered the on-board LFN0038K to enable remote control. A DS3231 real-time clock is also included (you'll need to supply your own CR1220 button battery).
There is a built-in BMP280 for measuring air pressure and temperature, but it's the available ports for external sensors that are the key attraction: a PCF8591, 8-bit resolution, screw terminal interface, a 1-Wire device (a DS18B20 thermometer is included), a 44 pin sensor interface, and GPIO expansion.
There is also a micro USB to UART connection and cable supplied. UART is normally used to debug Raspberry Pi, but with debugging mode disabled, you can send data to and from Raspberry Pi and a connected PC.
