The Raspberry Pi 500+ is now out there at SparkFun Electronics! We additionally now have the Raspberry Pi RM2!
Hiya everybody and welcome to the primary Friday product publish of Fall 2025! Yeah, loopy how we’re lower than 13 weeks till the vacations… Properly, if we by accident evoked a way of dread or panic in you, don’t be concerned! We’ve some nice concepts that’ll make for glorious items for a member of the family or, frankly, your self!
As of 1:00 a.m. this morning, we’re proud to offer the model new Raspberry Pi 500+, an all-in-one private laptop constructed right into a compact keyboard, in each equipment and unit solely variations! These new editions of the present Raspberry Pi 500 pack some spectacular new options and upgrades so ensure you verify them out. Following that, we’re additionally excited to announce that we now provide the Raspberry Pi Radio Module 2 as a naked IC. We all know loads of you’ve gotten requested for this, so have been are glad to lastly have the ability to provide it. We wrap the week up with an SMD Triac Delicate Gate and three new resistors transferring over from our manufacturing inventory. Alright, let’s try all of our new merchandise, we could?

The Raspberry Pi 500+ (out there in each equipment and unit solely variations) is an all-in-one private laptop constructed right into a compact keyboard, now up to date with a high-quality mechanical keyboard that includes individually addressable RGB backlighting and replaceable key switches. In comparison with the unique Raspberry Pi 500, this model doubles the reminiscence capability to 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM. It features a pre-loaded 256GB SSD, offering quicker system responsiveness and expanded storage for purposes, improvement, and desktop workloads.
The Raspberry Pi Radio Module 2 (RMC20452T) is a compact, licensed wi-fi module constructed for integration into customized PCBs and microcontroller merchandise. It packages the Infineon CYW43439 combo chipset and delivers single-band 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) plus Bluetooth 5.2 (Basic + LE) in a SISO structure, with built-in inner PA, LNA and a shared 2.4 GHz antenna. A radio module like this permits wi-fi communications with minimal exterior parts, reduces RF design complexity, and helps OEMs bypass expensive radio/regulatory certification because of its full modular certification.
This planar passivated, four-quadrant triac, housed in a SOT223 surface-mount bundle, incorporates a very delicate gate. This design permits for direct interfacing with logic-level ICs and low-power drivers, simplifying circuit design and decreasing element rely in AC switching purposes.
Final up this week, we’ve got three totally different resistors two SMDs in 1.8k Ohm and 51k Ohm, each 1/10W, and a PTH 1k Ohm 1/4W. These tiny parts every have distinctive use circumstances, so we advocate studying by way of every product and double verify your venture wants earlier than buying!
That is it for this week at SparkFun. Should you aren’t already a subscriber to our New Product Publication, you actually needs to be! As all the time, we won’t wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or tell us on Instagram, Fb or LinkedIn. Please be secure on the market, be type to at least one one other! Comfortable hacking!
By no means miss a brand new product!
