I’ve been looking at the Adafruit Pi Dish for a while but it was just too expensive for what I wanted. The Pimoroni base looked a bit more like and for 4 quid I thought I’d give it a try.
I am waiting for a suitable 400 point breadboard to arrive from elsewhere as they weren’t in stock but I’m tempted just to use my normal large one as it looks a bit odd but should be fine.
The screws on my coupe were long enough I didn’t have to remove the existing base layer and I couldn’t really see any reason to do so. The only thing I don’t like is that on hard flat surface (e.g. a desk!) it wobbles a bit as the pibow screw heads / tips are all one side and the breadboard area acts a bit like a lever. I’ll try and get some rubber feet from somewhere to space out underneath but I’d rather have paid a little extra and had it come with them.
Other than that it seems pretty ideal. Its the little details that are nice too, for example theres a cutout to make it easy to still get to the SD Card - but wait, its cut out BOTH sides so you can mount your Pi either way round (though not sure why you’d want to!).
