What sets the RaspyPlay4 apart

Ideal for...

The RaspyPlay4 is the perfect addition for makers, hobbyists and developers who want to use their Raspberry Pi as a retro-gaming console, music streamer, voice assistant or media center. It is also well suited for audio projects in education.

How to use the RaspyPlay4

Simply plug the RaspyPlay4 onto the GPIO header of your Raspberry Pi (2, 3B or 3B+). Enable the I2S interface in the configuration (e.g., via raspi-config). Connect speakers or headphones to the 3.5 mm audio jack. Audio output will now be via the RaspyPlay4. If needed, you can use additional software such as Volumio, LibreELEC or Pi MusicBox.
