Products marked with * will require an extra 26 pin stacking header to raise the height of the board to clear other components on the Raspberry Pi A+, B+ and Gen 2 B.

Products marked with a ** will work with the Raspberry Pi Zero but they are larger than the Raspberry Pi Zero and will overhang the edge of the board.
