Build your very own internet-connected radio with the Pirate Radio Kit!

This kit has everything* you'll need, including a Pi Zero W, new pHAT BEAT DAC and stereo amp, a 5W speaker, and a beautifully retro acrylic enclosure. It'll take you around 30 minutes to assemble everything** (check out the assembly guide for details).

This kit takes advantage of the built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth on the Pi Zero W, meaning that there's no longer any need for a USB Wi-Fi dongle.

There are three different software projects for your Pirate Radio: an internet radio, a Spotify streaming box, or an AirPlay speaker.

  • Dual I2S DAC/amplifiers (MAX98357A)
  • 3W per channel
  • 2x push fit speaker terminals
  • DIP switch to select blended mono or stereo modes
  • 16 RGB LED pixels (APA102) in 2 rows of 8
  • 6 edge-mounted push buttons
  • Software installer and ALSA VU meter plugin
  • 5W 4Ω speaker with pre-soldered wires
  • 3-layer blue acrylic enclosure
  • Pi Zero W with single core CPU and built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth
  • Adaptor kit
  • 50cm USB A to micro-B cable (power your Pi from an existing charger or computer)
  • Python library
  • Female and male headers require soldering


Software
Pimoroni provides a nifty one-line installer will get your pHAT BEAT configured and install our VU meter plugin for ALSA that uses the RGB LEDs on pHAT BEAT to display sound levels.

There is a Python library to allow you to control the LEDs independently, if you wish, and to program the buttons to do whatever you wish.

    Great product at a good price
    Color: Black, Size: Medium
    This sink caddy is made of sturdy material and helpful for holding the stuff on the edge of my sink. It's nice to be able to move the little drain spout to accommodate where I set it. It also allows me to move the divider to accommodate the size of what I put in there, so that's nice. It has an overall nice look. removing the tray to wash it out is very helpful. The only thing I don't care for is that sometimes when I grab the dish cloth, the little rod pops out. However, this is a minor inconvenience, and only when I'm in a hurry to grab the cloth. The price is very reasonable for the sturdy material.

    Keeps my sink area neat and organized
    Color: Black, Size: Medium
    Really happy with this sink caddy! The 304 stainless steel feels sturdy and looks nice, and the auto drain spout keeps water from pooling on the counter. The divided sections easily hold my sponge, brush, and soap bottle without taking up much space. I also like the removable towel bar and that there was no installation needed. Redy to use right out of the box. Simple, practical, and very useful for keeping the sink area tidy.

    it is good quality
    Color: Black, Size: Medium
    this is very sleek and handy. I like how it looks and sits on the counter. One thought the part the holds the dish cloth falls off when I take the dish cloth off. It is a minor issue, however, if there was a way to clip it more secure to the item, this would be ideal. thank yoo

    Most importantly, its drainage system directs water into the tank, keeping it dry.
    Color: Black, Size: Medium
    This drain rack is small and fits perfectly on the edge of my sink. It's just the right size to hold hand soap and dishcloths, doesn't take up much space, and most importantly, it directs water directly into the sink, keeping it dry and keeping my sink clean and tidy.

    Good product
    Color: Black, Size: Medium
    It is as described, looks neat and tidy on the sink. Just big enough to do what I need it to do. My sink stays dry because the wate goes back int the sink.
