This kit has everything* you'll need, including a Pi Zero W, new pHAT BEAT DAC and stereo amp, a 5W speaker, and a beautifully retro acrylic enclosure. It'll take you around 30 minutes to assemble everything** (check out the assembly guide for details).

This kit takes advantage of the built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth on the Pi Zero W, meaning that there's no longer any need for a USB Wi-Fi dongle.

There are three different software projects for your Pirate Radio: an internet radio, a Spotify streaming box, or an AirPlay speaker.

  • 3W per channel
  • 2x push fit speaker terminals

  • 5W 4Ω speaker with pre-soldered wires
  • 3-layer blue acrylic enclosure
  • Pi Zero W with single core CPU and built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth
  • Adaptor kit
  • 50cm USB A to micro-B cable (power your Pi from an existing charger or computer)
  • Python library
  • Female and male headers require soldering


Software
Pimoroni provides a nifty one-line installer will get your pHAT BEAT configured and install our VU meter plugin for ALSA that uses the RGB LEDs on pHAT BEAT to display sound levels.

There is a Python library to allow you to control the LEDs independently, if you wish, and to program the buttons to do whatever you wish.

    Huron crushes it!
    Style: Shampoo & Conditioner Set
    I have no idea how other reviews can speak of low lathering and not so manly scent. First, heavy lathering is not a good thing, you want a light lather so as to not remove too much natural oils. And the scent is absolutely phenomenal. A little goes a long way. It is suggested to use a quarter size amount which for me proves to be a bit too much. And the lathering is perfect. The shampoo is amazing and my hair feels as though it was conditioned even though I have not applied the conditioner yet. As for the conditioner, the ingredients are far better than any within a drug store type product. My hair remains soft and fantastically conditioned all day and night. Absolutely outstanding product. Far better than American Crew and other big name brands which immediately went into the trash after my second use of Huron. The scent is totally manly and well done. The menthol is not overwhelming and the citrus comes through very well. Every other brand has a far too powerful tea tree and/or peppermint scent that actually burns my eyes. After my second use I immediately started a subscription at their website usehuron.com. I am looking forward to using their soap bar. I prefer a bar of soap to a body wash. I have finally found my absolute go to shampoo and conditioner. No more purchasing others for comparison. Huron is at a good price point for top tier products. It deserves way more hype when it comes to best products on the market. I am totally sold on Huron.

    The Real Deal
    Style: Shampoo & Conditioner Set
    Fresh, clean and potent. I have probably experimented with 20 shampoo and conditioners over the past 5 years looking for one that does everything I want it to. It's a sparkling mint meets teakwood meets citrus—refreshing without being overpowering. Little goes a long way: a pea-size amount lathers well, and it's left my hair noticeably softer and more manageable over time. This high quality and light but present fragrance have made this worth it for me.
