This kit has everything* you'll need, including a Pi Zero W, new pHAT BEAT DAC and stereo amp, a 5W speaker, and a beautifully retro acrylic enclosure. It'll take you around 30 minutes to assemble everything** (check out the assembly guide for details).

This kit takes advantage of the built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth on the Pi Zero W, meaning that there's no longer any need for a USB Wi-Fi dongle.

There are three different software projects for your Pirate Radio: an internet radio, a Spotify streaming box, or an AirPlay speaker.

  • 3W per channel

Software
Pimoroni provides a nifty one-line installer will get your pHAT BEAT configured and install our VU meter plugin for ALSA that uses the RGB LEDs on pHAT BEAT to display sound levels.

There is a Python library to allow you to control the LEDs independently, if you wish, and to program the buttons to do whatever you wish.

    Lovely subtle shine, wonderful scent
    Scent: Sandalwood
    LOVE this shimmer oil. Has a lovely subtle copper/rose gold when used lightly. The shimmer gets more pronounced the more you use, but never obnoxious. The oil absorbs well and fully on damp skin, but I usually use it before going out for the day on dry skin, and it works just as well. The nozzle produces a generous amount with each squirt and has yet to clog or stop up as with some shimmer oils. The oil leaves the skin moisturized and glowy. The shimmer does not rub off easily on clothing and other fabrics. The scent is just amazing. If you have the regular oil, this smells just as amazing. It’s hard to describe…a gorgeous floral smell, but not grandma’s lilly or lavender smell. Just sexy. If sexy and summer, and feminine had a smell, this would be it. Yummy and inherently woman. Get this oil for some shimmer and a splash of confidence.

    I absolutely love the Saltair line of products!
    Scent: Sandalwood
    I used the body wash at a friend's house and fell in love, especially with the Santal Bloom scent! This body oil is just so amazing and feels so silky and soft. It's especially effective if you use it right out of the shower. It adds a beautiful glow and I even use a little in my hair. It's quite concentrated so a little goes a long way. I have even mixed it into my favorite coconut oil and it mixes beautifully. Don't sleep on this line!
