Pi-Face Digital

PiFace (Pi Interface Digital) is a low cost add-on board created specifically for Raspberry Pi. Designed with the same footprint as the Raspberry Pi computer itself, it plugs simply and conveniently onto the top of your Raspberry Pi with no connecting cables needed, allowing you to get started quickly and easily. Even connecting PiFace Digital to external sensors and actuators is easy, thanks to its screw terminal connectors to the outside world.

PiFace Digital connects your Raspberry Pi to the physical world allowing you to sense and control real physical quantities like temperature, pressure and speed, or even switch states, like whether a door is open or closed. Using logical programming on your Raspberry Pi that you create yourself, it is possible to define reactions to some of these quantities. For example, you may detect temperature once every five seconds; if the temperature is more than a preset level, switch on a fan.

PiFace Digital is great for educationalists or hobbyists, and for anybody interested in electronics, software or systems control.
