The kit, which requires assembly, costs \u00a340 and includes the Zero W and most of the parts you need inside a nice project box. You just need to add an SD card and Pi power supply or USB battery. <a href=\"http:\/\/raspi.tv\/2017\/pimoroni-pirate-radio-review-make-an-internet-radio-in-about-an-hour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Alex&#8217;s review here<\/a>.\u00a0<em>(Photo credit: Alex Eames)<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Opinion<\/h2>\n<p>I got hold of a Pirate Radio kit myself recently. It really is\u00a0<em>very\u00a0<\/em>cute and is a nice blue colour with a frosted perspex front. The VU meter on the side is a nice touch, although I would&#8217;ve preferred it if it was a bit more responsive at lower volumes, but I guess that&#8217;s just a case of tweaking the Python script. The software itself is good as are the <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.pimoroni.com\/tutorial\/sandyj\/assembling-pirate-radio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instructions for assembly and software installation<\/a>, although you will need to hunt around for that pesky configuration file that lists the playlists. I managed to find it eventually but can&#8217;t remember where it is right this second. The web interface that you can use is a bit basic, but functional. The sound produced by the included speaker isn&#8217;t stellar, but then what do you expect for something that small? However, it&#8217;s easily slightly-better-than-radio-quality, so no complaints here.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed putting the kit together (as Alex said in his review, a video might&#8217;ve been nice and a bit clearer, but heigh ho) and can recommend it to anyone who wants a little Pi-powered radio.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re out of stock at the moment, but you can <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/products\/pirate-radio-pi-zero-w-project-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see them on the Pimoroni shop site here<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/thepihut.com\/products\/pirate-radio-pi-zero-w-project-kit?variant=34244909777\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on The Pi Hut here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Eames has reviewed the Pimoroni Pirate Radio kit which features a Raspberry Pi Zero W.
