#RaspberryPi Wireless Inventors Kit (RasWIK) from Ciseco

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation to Ciseco apart from having met representatives from the company at a Jam.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Miles Hodkinson and Rebecca Smith from Ciseco at the Cambridge Raspberry Jam on 20th July. Amongst other things, they had brought along some samples of the RasWIK – the Raspberry Pi Wireless Inventors Kit. This is due to be released for purchase on 1st August.

RasWIK - Raspberry Pi Wireless Inventors Kit - Ciseco PLC

The package is comprised of a “Slice of Radio” GPIO board and a XinoRF Arduino clone as well as loads of sensors, resistors, LEDs and a pre-loaded SD card. You also get access to documentation and project examples on the website to help you make the most of the kit.

It’s retailing for just under £50 and is available online in their shop and they also expect it to be stocked by Maplin in the near future. I consider £50 for what you get to be very good value and it’s a great way to get started with wireless technology and Arduinos.

  1. Hello Michael,

    I am looking for an original SD card image as supplied for the wireless inventors kit, as I have inadvertently corrupted mine.
    I tried downloading from the Github and managed to get the basic communications working between the raspberry pi and an Arduino Uno device, but I cannot get the configuration tool to work.
