# SparkFun Pi Wedge (Preassembled)

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** BOB-13717 · **Brand:** [Sparkfun](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/sparkfun-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/sparkfun-pi-wedge-preassembled.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/sparkfun-pi-wedge-preassembled.html.md))

This is the SparkFun Pi Wedge, a small board that connects to the 40-pin GPIO connector on the Raspberry Pi and breaks the pins out to breadboard-friendly arrangement and spacing, and even adds a couple of decoupling capacitors on the power supply lines. The “Wedge” also makes the initial bring-up process easier - you can plug an FTDI Basic module into the built-in serial port. Each version of this Pi Wedge comes preassembled and can be inserted into the RPi’s GPIO port that allows you to prototype - no soldering required!

## Pricing

- **Price:** $28.60 (inc GST) — $26.00 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 5+ $25.22 (exc GST) · 25+ $24.70 (exc GST) · 100+ $23.66 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 17 and Aug 24.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=BOB-13717:1` (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/BOB-13717:1.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)

## Description

This is the SparkFun Pi Wedge, a small board that connects to the 40-pin GPIO connector on the Raspberry Pi and breaks the pins out to breadboard-friendly arrangement and spacing, and even adds a couple of decoupling capacitors on the power supply lines. The “Wedge” also makes the initial bring-up process easier - you can plug an FTDI Basic module into the built-in serial port. Each version of this Pi Wedge comes preassembled and can be inserted into the RPi’s GPIO port that allows you to prototype - no soldering required!

The Pi Wedge is compatible with the Raspberry Pi A , B , or RPi2 models and it adapts the GPIO header on the RPi to a standard solderless breadboard, such as our [medium](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=12002), [large](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=00112), and [extra large](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=12614)breadboards. While it will technically with with a [mini](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=12043) breadboard, it won’t leave much room for external circuitry. If you love the Raspberry Pi and have been looking to start prototyping with it look no further than the SparkFun Pi Wedge!
