Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-3110:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description This accessory pack contains headers and connectors that can be [soldered](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/168/soldering-and-desoldering-tools) to an [A-Star Prime](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=a-star+32u4+prime), allowing it to be easily wired to power sources and other circuits or devices. Also included are some shorting blocks that are useful for making some common jumper connections, as well as a through-hole buzzer. The pack is primarily intended for use with versions of the A-Star Prime that ship with only SMT components installed: - [**A-Star 32U4 Prime LV (SMT Components Only)**](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-a-star-32u4-prime-lv-smt-components-only.html) - [**A-Star 32U4 Prime SV (SMT Components Only)**](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-a-star-32u4-prime-sv-smt-components-only.html) - [**A-Star 32U4 Prime LV microSD (SMT Components Only)**](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-a-star-32u4-prime-lv-microsd-smt-components-only.html) - [**A-Star 32U4 Prime SV microSD (SMT Components Only)**](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-a-star-32u4-prime-sv-microsd-smt-components-only.html) With the parts in this pack, you can customize your A-Star Prime by only adding the connectors you need (and leaving off the rest to minimize its weight and volume). The following items are included: - Four standard Arduino [0.1" female headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/connectors-sockets/headers/female-straight.html) (one 1×6, two 1×8, one 1×10) - Four 1×25 [0.1" male header strips](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-breakaway-male-header-1x40-pin-straight.html) - 2×3 0.1" male header (ISP) - 2×7 0.1" male header (LCD) - [2×7 0.1"female header](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-female-header-2x7-pin-straight.html) (LCD) - [1×2 0.1" female header](https://core-electronics.com.au/0-100-2-54-mm-female-header-1x2-pin-straight.html) - 1×10 low-profile 0.1" male header strip - Three low-profile 0.1" shorting blocks - Buzzer - [DC barrel jack](https://core-electronics.com.au/dc-power-adapter-barrel-jack.html) - [2-pin 3.5 mm screw terminal block](https://core-electronics.com.au/screw-terminal-block-2-pin-3-5-mm-pitch-side-entry-4-pack.html) An LCD is **not** included in the accessory pack, but one can be purchased separately; Pololu recommend [this 8×2 character LCD](https://core-electronics.com.au/8x2-character-lcd-black-bezel-parallel-interface.html), which can plug directly into the board once the included 2×7 female header is soldered to the LCD and the included 2×7 male header is soldered to the A-Star. [Other HD44780-compatible displays](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/44/displays) can be connected to the A-Star with [an appropriate cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/16-conductor-ribbon-cable-with-idc-connectors-20.html) if the A-Star is assembled with the included 2×7 male LCD header or with a [shrouded 2×8 male header](https://core-electronics.com.au/shrouded-box-header-2x8-pin-0-100-2-54-mm-male.html) (not included). **Assembling an A-Star Prime with the accessory pack** The following pictures show an example of how some of the parts in the accessory pack can be used: the image to the left shows the [A-Star 32U4 Prime LV microSD](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-a-star-32u4-prime-lv-microsd-smt-components-only.html) as it ships, and the image to the right shows the parts Pololu install on the [A-Star 32U4 Prime LV microSD with LCD](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-a-star-32u4-prime-lv-microsd-with-lcd.html). | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J9984_281821d2740.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J9984_2271090116a.jpg) \| \|---\| | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J9992_264178051b7.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J9992_21643b41493.jpg) \| \|---\|---\| | |---| The diagrams below highlight some suggested locations for installing low-profile male headers, allowing jumper connections to be easily made with the matching low-profile shorting blocks: | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J6073_252199984bf.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J6073_89352b5f619.jpg) \| \|---\| \| Buzzer and CS-GND jumpers on the A-Star 32U4 Prime. \| | \| [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J6074_196998aa20f.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J6074_6766989227a.jpg) \| \|---\|---\| \| Battery level jumper on the A-Star 32U4 Prime. \| | |---| For more information on the A-Star Prime, including details about its pinout and components, see the A-Star User’s Guide. **People often buy this product together with:** | [![A-Star 32U4 Micro](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J5274_4990d36c1e.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/a-star-32u4-micro.html) | [A-Star 32U4 Micro](https://core-electronics.com.au/a-star-32u4-micro.html) | |---|---| | [![A-Star 32U4 Mini LV](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J5604_4703da1f2b.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/a-star-32u4-mini-lv.html) | [A-Star 32U4 Mini LV](https://core-electronics.com.au/a-star-32u4-mini-lv.html) | |---|---| | [![A-Star 32U4 Prime LV (SMT Components Only) (ac03b)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J6057_4503d8e0d7.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/a-star-32u4-prime-lv-smt-components-only-ac03b.html) | [A-Star 32U4 Prime LV (SMT Components Only) (ac03b)](https://core-electronics.com.au/a-star-32u4-prime-lv-smt-components-only-ac03b.html) | |---|---| **Documentation and other information** - ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J6138_6000ba8713.jpg)**Pololu A-Star 32U4 User’s Guide ([Printable PDF](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/a-star_32u4_217492d97aa.pdf))** User’s manual for the Pololu A-Star 32U4 family of user-programmable boards. ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/i/m/image_4517.jpg)
