The MorePi Me is a Raspberry Pi shield providing you with 32 - 5v outputs controllable via software running on your Pi. We left the design simple and clean.

If you need a rigid installation, the MorePi’s mounting hole lines up directly over the Pi’s. Everything is laid out in traditional breadboard spacing (0.1″) making it super easy to design your projects to plug directly onto the MorePi Me. The possibilities here are endless!



Kit Parts:

• 1x More Pi Me board
• 4x 74HC595 shift registers
• 4x 16 pin DIP sockets
• 4x 1x8pin female headers
• 1x 2×13 female header
• 1x 1x8pin male header
• 3x 1k ohm resistors

Build Notes:

• 74HC595 shift registers (serial in, parallel out): Remember to watch out for which direction the notch goes into.
• 16 pin DIP sockets: Watch out for the direction of the notch for this as well.
• 1x8pin female headers: These are placed outside of the sockets/shift registers. These allow you to access the 32 outputs.
• 2×13 female header: This should be soldered UPSIDE-DOWN to connect to the Raspberry Pi GPIO header.
• 1x8pin male header: The longer side of the pins face upward, the same direction as the shift registers. This is used to daisy chain with the other shift register products we have!
• 1k ohm resistors: Solder in the resistor spots - polarity doesn’t matter!
