Product information "Picade for Raspberry Pi, 10 inch display"
Picade is now Raspberry Pi 4 compatible and includes a new USB-C version of Picade X HAT!
The brand new Picade has been completely redesigned from the inside out! There's new artwork, a new display and display driver board, a dedicated power button, a completely new Picade X HAT (now with USB-C), simpler cabling, easier access to the inside of the case and beautiful new packaging, a few extra goodies (stickers and an enamel Picade pin) as well as a beautiful Picade poster and assembly instructions.
Picade is supplied as a kit and takes around two to three hours to assemble. The cabinet is made of powder-coated MDF, which gives it a high-quality look and feel like a large arcade. All you need is a Raspberry Pi, USB-C power supply and a micro SD card.

The case is more compact to fit better on the desk, but has a higher resolution 10" display (1024x768). The display is controlled by a new driver board developed and manufactured by Pimoroni, which is operated via a keypad. It's an IPS panel, so it looks good from any angle!
The all-new Picade X HAT is packed with useful features. We've gone from fiddly screw terminals to simple DuPont connectors that just plug in, and the speaker connectors are the same simple connectors we use on pHAT BEAT.
The Picade X HAT has its own power management; simply connect your USB-C power supply to the HAT and it will power your Pi via its pins. The power button connected to the HAT means that once your Pi is safely powered down, it will be completely cut off. A simple press of the power button reboots your Picade.
The new buttons in Picade are flatter, and the new joystick has a single connector instead of the eight spade connectors of our previous Picade joystick.
A beautiful new neon Picade logo on the awning and rainbow stripes on the console and screen are reminiscent of classic consoles, as are the assembly instructions and poster.

Optimize your Raspberry Pi - with Pimoroni
Pimoni is the expert when it comes to equipping your Raspberry Pi with high-quality add-on modules. The successful company was founded in 2012 in Sheffield, England, and now also has a branch in Essen, Germany. According to the University of Sheffield, Pimoroni is even considered one of the fastest growing manufacturing companies in the UK.
The electronics specialist has the right solution for almost every need around the Raspberry Pi. The product range also includes the Pimoroni Fan Shim, a powerful 30mm CPU fan for the Raspberry Pi, which is one of the top sellers from Pimoroni. The Fan Shim manages a powerful 4,200 RPM and delivers significant added value by optimizing the thermal performance of your Raspberry Pi. Compatibility exists with the Raspberry Pi 4, but also with the 3 B+ and 3 A+ models.
The fan is equipped with RGB LED and a tactile switch, making it wonderfully controllable. The LED serves as an indicator to track the fan status and CPU load/temperature. The tactile switch is also handy: With the help of the included Python library and a daemon, you can program it to switch between temperature-controlled automatic mode and manual mode. Thanks to its "friction-fit" header, the Pimoroni Fan Shim can easily be plugged onto the pins of your mini computer and is ready to go without soldering. In general, the installation is uncomplicated and should not take more than two minutes. While the fan is doing its job, the noise level is very low: The maximum value is only 18.6 dB.
Apart from the Pimoroni Fan Shim, many other top products from Pimoroni are available at Berrybase. The Pibow Coupé 4 is recommended for all owners of a Raspberry Pi 4: The compact case reliably protects your mini computer from external influences like dust or shocks. All ports remain open and thus accessible. The high-quality processed and easy to mount frame for the official 7" Raspberry Pi touchscreen display also fulfills its protective function perfectly. With the Pirate Audio HAT you get a first-class 3W stereo amplifier for your mini computer: Use the module in combination with your Raspberry Pi and your speakers to control the playback of your favorite music and to create powerful sound.
Depending on what you have in mind, you can also use other modules from Pimoroni, such as LED sensors, camera modules or the Pico HAT Hacker.
