RPILink
Raspberry Pi Basic Adapter
- Overview
A basic Raspberry Pi adapter that adds a DUELink Downlink to any Pi model including Pi Zero — the simpler, lower-cost sibling to DuePi (no OLED, no buttons, no buzzer). The top half plugs into the standard 40-pin RPi header; the bottom Holey section is a 5 mm-pitch grid that can mount DUELink modules directly, and is breakable for Pi Zero builds.
Power for chained modules comes from the Pi's internal regulators — fine for a few sensors and lights.
Common uses: minimal Pi-to-DUELink projects, classroom labs, low-budget builds, headless data-logging dongles, and anywhere you want JST Downlink on a Pi without paying for HAT-level peripherals.
For heavier loads, add Power Inject to your chain so relays, motors, or display modules don't pull through the Pi's rails.

Modules ship without cables to reduce waste. Some specialty boards include a USB cable; for the rest, see Cables to add cables to your order.
