Freenove Breakout Board for Raspberry Pi 5 / 4B / 3B+ / 3B / 3A+ / 2B / 1B+ / 1A+ / Zero 2 W/Zero W/Zero, Terminal Block Shield HAT with Pin Header, GPIO Status LED

Thank goodness for these little breakout boards. It simplifies and makes working with sensors sooooo much easier. No more cutting wires and soldering then having to unsolder and whatnot. These things are awesome! I even like the little LEDs that show if there is a connection or not.

I have had good experience with all of the Freenove hobbyist products that I have purchased through Amazon, and this one is no exception. The thing I liked most about this board is the presence of signal-state LEDs on all the signal lines. All of the LEDs are driven through buffers - no significant load is placed on the GPIOs. Connector pin silkscreen labels are clear and easy to read, with supply sources and grounds clearly marked in reverse print. Inclusion of non-conductive standoffs, mounting hardware and screwdrivers is a nice touch. It might have been nice to include a short ribbon cable to allow the board to be used in external non-hat configuration, as you would likely want to do if you have your Pi in a case, and/or have another hat board mounted, such as a NVMe SSD hat. This is not a deal-breaker for me, as there are plenty of alternate sources for suitable cables available.

Good breakout for a Raspberry Pi. Love the status LEDs and tie downs for prototypes.

This is a nicely made board, the LEDs are colored & you can see at a glance what is going on with your GPIO pins. If only the GPIO software from Raspberry PI folks was as good (it is extra bad for the PI 5). But hey this is hardware, the lights work fine, they are even different colors by function. Silkscreen is clear & says what each pin is for, so you will be less likely to be "off by one" when counting pins.

It’s a breakout board. They either work or not.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Freenove breakout board offers clean pin labeling, good build quality, and stable connections. Compatible across multiple Raspberry Pi models, it simplifies testing and wiring. Excellent for rapid prototyping or classroom use.

So far just used this to feed power to my Pi and free up the USB-C connector. Works great and the LEDs keep you well informed of what's going on.

like other reviewers say, the LED lights to signal that the pins are on or off suck. They are completely unreliable but thats ok for me. I bought it cause i need to be-able to remove/attach wires many times to my PI. But i also need them to be secure without using solder. Comes with pi standoffs & screws and 2 little screwdrivers. Everything you need to attach it to a pi.

Buono per test veloci con i led già a bordo

Wonderful, I don't have to mess around with LED's and resistors on breadboards to check my GPIO are ok, the built in LED's are all there for you. Nice you don't have to keep looking up the pinout diagram. A product well recommended.

Werkt oké; nuttig om het hoog-laag signaalniveau van een GPIO-pin te vogen via de ledjes op het bordje bij elke pin. Handig zou een bijgeleverde 40 aderige kabel zijn met connectoren zodat je het printje niet direct bovenop de Raspberry Pi moet klikken.

Great board. Easy to read labels, well positioned leds, good connectors.

Very useful for doing blinking led projects.Makes it easy to add components,if yournew to electronics, this is a must
