## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE00278:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. 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/CE00278:1.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)

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ requires a 5.1V 2.5A power source. This is the official power supply by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and is suitable for use with all Raspberry Pi Models (excluding Pi 4 without an [USB-C adaptor](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-micro-b-to-usb-c-adapter-white.html)).

We've also tested this with the new Raspberry Pi 4 (with a [USB-C adaptor](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-micro-b-to-usb-c-adapter-white.html)) and it works just fine. Plenty of elbow room to power other connected things.

This power supply has full Australian RCM Certification which is a requirement for use in educational environments.

Specs:
