The AB Electronics UK forum is open again for new posts. After closing the forum in 2025 to review our obligations under the UK government's Online Safety Act 2023, we've made the necessary changes and are pleased to welcome the community back.
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.
We now have a Zero size version of our popular RTC Pi Plus board for the Raspberry Pi Zero.
With the release of the Raspberry Pi Zero, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has created one of the smallest and most affordable versions of the Raspberry Pi yet. Measuring just 65mm x 30mm, the Zero offers the same processing power as the original Raspberry Pi Model B but in a compact form factor that makes it ideal for embedded and portable projects.
We are currently working on two new products to allow people to use our Raspberry Pi expansion boards with the Beaglebone Black mini computer, the Arduino Uno/Mega boards, and other Arduino-based boards that use the same pin header layout.
We are pleased to announce that our new support section is now live at AB Electronics UK.
The updated support pages now include a new Knowledge Base system with sections for each of our Raspberry Pi development boards with tutorials for each board and ready-to-run code demos.
New from AB Electronics UK, the ADC Differential Pi is an 8-channel 18-bit analogue to digital converter designed to work with the Raspberry Pi A+, Raspberry Pi B+ and newer models.
Bad Dog Designs in the UK have made a 1930’s style solar power monitoring system using a Raspberry Pi which displays the solar power generated on large Nixie tubes and old analogue panel meters which are driven using servos using one of our Servo Pi development boards.
