Product Links

Please note that Pharian Limited are an Amazon Associate and as such earn a small commission on the Amazon links on our site. Read more here: Amazon Associates Disclosure.

Generally Amazon is our first port of call for Pi products and electronics as we have found over time that the items are in stock, are very competitively priced and the postage is generally cheaper – especially if you have a Prime subscription. If you do decide to purchase your kit through Amazon, we would be grateful if you used the links here as it helps us to cover a small amount of the cost of running the course. But please do not feel obliged to.

There are also a number of other Raspberry Pi Approved Resellers out there which we have used and would highly recommend.

One of the biggest is The Pi Hut who have some really cool stuff on their website, are very reasonably priced and have a great newsletter that is worth signing up to.

Another really well known and respected company is Pimoroni – check out their site as well for all sorts of interesting gizmos and gadgets.

And if you have any recommendations, please let us know so we can add to the list.
