# Raspberry Pi High-Precision AD/DA Board (Seeed Studio)

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** SS114990831 · **Brand:** [Seeed Studio](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/seeed-studio-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-high-precision-ad-da-board-seeed-studio.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-high-precision-ad-da-board-seeed-studio.html.md))

There's no AD/DA function on the Raspberry Pi GPIO interface, this may trouble you in the Pi development. However, it won't be a problem anymore. The High-Precision...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $104.95 (inc GST) — $95.41 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 5+ $91.59 (exc GST) · 10+ $88.73 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SS114990831:1` (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/SS114990831:1.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)
