- 40-pin Raspberry Pi GPIO BreakoutSKU: CE04441 Brand: Core ElectronicsIf you're after a quick and easy to way to connect external circuitry up to your Raspberry Pi, then look no further! This breakout board has a form factor perfect for connecting to breadboards using the included 40-pin ribbon cable.
- MAX3232 BreakoutSKU: BOB-11189 Brand: SparkfunThe ‘must have’ IC for TTL/CMOS projects finally has its own breakout board! This is the RS232 converter IC that is capable of running at 3V and communicating with 5V logic.
- TLC5940 BreakoutSKU: BOB-10616 Brand: SparkfunThe TLC5940 is a 16 channel PWM unit with 12 bit duty cycle control (0-4095), 6 bit current limit control (0-63), and a daisy chainable serial interface. This breakout board is a good way to take full advantage of this useful IC. All 16 PWM channels are broken out to standard 0.1" headers, which run alongside convenient voltage and ground rails. Also, because the TLC5940 can be daisy-chained, the breakout is designed to support that feature. On the left-hand side of the board all serial inputs are broken out to 0.1" headers and likewise with output on the right-hand side.
- RS-485 BreakoutSKU: BOB-10124 Brand: SparkfunThis is a breakout board for the SP3485 RS-485 transceiver IC, which will convert a UART serial stream to RS-485.

This board requires a very low amount of power and can operate from a single +3.3VDC supply.
- OpAmp BreakoutSKU: BOB-09816 Brand: SparkfunThis is a simple Op Amp breakout board, set up as a 2-stage amplifier with a gain of 100 (gain of 10 for each stage). The on-board trim pot sets the signal level between the stages, not the feedback path. The bandwidth is set to 15.9kHz by a pair of feedback capacitors, or over 100kHz with the caps removed. The LMV358 opamp can source up to 160mA and works well as a low impedance driver/buffer.
- Opto-isolator BreakoutSKU: BOB-09118 Brand: SparkfunThis is a board designed for opto-isolation. This board is helpful for connecting digital systems (like a 5V microcontroller) to a high-voltage or noisy system. This board electrically isolates a controller from the high-power system by use of an opto-isolator IC. This IC has two LEDs and two photodiodes built-in. This allows the low-voltage side to control a high voltage side.
