The gPiO box is shipped with a 6V 1A power supply (PSU) - which is fine for small loads.
When power hungry devices are connected a more powerful supply is needed. We can supply suitable 3A power supplies that enable the gPiO box to work with larger loads. When ordering a replacement supply please choose 6V, 12V, 24V or 36V (gPiO+ only) as suitable for your devices.
Warning:
“When I first got my hands on a Raspberry Pi early experiments with breadboard and jumper wires were a disaster. I had decided that there probably wasn’t a niche for the Raspberry Pi at KS2 until I got my hands on a set of gPiO interfaces. I now teach physical computing on the Pi throughout my school, starting with children as young as 8 – and they love it!”
