LIST OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Node-RED & Raspberry Pi Pico W

This page contains lists of parts, tools and software for the course Node-RED and Raspberry Pi Pico W.

The items in these lists are provided in an effort to make it easier for our students to find the parts and tools they need. While we take care to find reliable sellers, we cannot be responsible for problems in their supply chain or fulfillment. Sellers may run out of stock at any time, or shipments may be lost in transit. For issues like these, or for warranty claims, please contact the seller directly.

Sunfounder

We have partnered with Sunfounder to provide you with an easy way to get the hardware you need for this course.

Everything you need for this course, with the exception of a couple of items, is included in the Sunfounder Kepler Kit.

In the list below you will find the items that we use in the course. The kit contains additional items that we are not currently using in the course, but may do so in the future.

Please note that we will not be using all of the items in the Sunfounder kit. Only a subset of the included items is needed for this course.

Other retailers

You don't have to purchase the Kepler kit to complete this course. Instead, you may use similar or equivalent components you may already have, or purchase what you need from a retailer of your preference. You may consider retailers on platforms such as Amazon, Aliexpress and eBay as (in most cases) they offer reasonable shipping times and returns.
