We are thrilled to announce the launch of our updated knowledge base at AB Electronics UK.

Whether you’re a beginner just getting started or an experienced developer looking for detailed documentation, our new layout and features are designed to help you find exactly what you need with ease.
Compatibility testing on the Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Orange Pi and Asus Tinker Board platforms.
One of our customers, Bruno Ferreira, has written a new C library for use with the IO Pi Plus expansion board.
One of our most popular development boards is the IO Pi Plus. This board was based on our old IO Pi but updated to fit the newer HAT style introduced with the Raspberry Pi B+.
The IO Pi Plus has been used by thousands of customers worldwide, and we have received lots of positive feedback about the board and our software libraries. We have also received a few suggestions on ways we could improve the board, and after looking at the most popular suggestions, we are proud to announce a new revised version of the IO Pi Plus, version 2.1.
Some stats for our website visitors for 2016
150,000 unique users visited the website who viewed over 501,000 individual page views
They spend an average of 1 minute 56 seconds on each page.
We have been busy over the Christmas holidays updating our online shop, knowledge base and support forums to ensure that the website pages comply with online accessibility standards and to make the page links easier to read and type if needed.
Almost all the website content met these standards in the past, but some of the forum posts had caused the compliance testing software to report errors so we have updated all content where needed to fix the issues raised.
We are excited to announce the addition of a new calculator to our Electronics Toolbox.
The ADC Pi Input Voltage Calculator is designed to enhance the voltage range capabilities of our popular ADC Pi Raspberry Pi development board. This new tool is an essential addition for hobbyists and professionals, offering an easy and efficient way to tailor the voltage input range to suit various applications.
Four years ago we launched our AB Electronics UK website to sell the Raspberry Pi development boards we design and build in our home workshop.
Since then, our product range has expanded from the initial two Raspberry Pi boards to over 45 boards and accessories for the Raspberry Pi, other small board computers and the Arduino.
We are delighted to announce that we have released new Node.js libraries for several of our Raspberry Pi development boards at AB Electronics UK.
You can now directly see all the related knowledge base articles for each of our Raspberry Pi development boards on the product details page.
Each product has a new section near the bottom of the page, which lists all related KB articles, as shown in the image to the right.
You can now use your social media accounts to sign in to our online shop to place your orders and check your order history.
On the sign-in page, there are now three new buttons for users of Facebook, Google, and Twitter account to sign in and set up their delivery addresses.
We have launched our own YouTube channel and uploaded our first video showing how to use our soldering jig.
We have also uploaded two other videos showing the placement of the components on an ADC Pi and a Servo Pi demo driving 16 RC servos.
We have added product information for legacy and discontinued products into our knowledge base.
