The new website offers the lowest prices and a broad selection, including unusual and proprietary items which are normally hard to find – in one convenient location online.
February 1, 2016 – MakerSpot.com announced today the launch of their new website that provides electronics lovers with the best selection and lowest prices on Raspberry Pi Zero accessories and other electronics. From breadboard friendly to Raspberry Pi Zero as well as power supply and cables, the new site is a one-stop shop for everything an electronic lover who enjoys creating would ever need. Also offered on the site are the lowest priced accessories including hubs, stacks, adapters, storage and enclosure as well as a wide selection of affordable components such as modules, protoboard, wireless, LCD display and switches.
“Raspberry Pi launched Raspberry Pi Zero in November 2015 and while it is a true low cost computer for only $5, you still need multiple accessories to make the $5 board function,” said MakerSpot.com’s CEO Dominic Leung. “With the additional accessories makers need to purchase – this can increase their cost an additional $40 or much more. MakerSpot.com is excited to offer makers Pi Zero accessories at the $5 level. And with more than 20,000 Pi Zero boards sold since its release, we’re sure makers will be delighted with our Value Pack and Mega Pack featuring truly unbeatable prices on essential items,” concluded Leung.
MakerSpot.com is the new leader offering unbeatable pricing of the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero Value Pack that lets any maker get started on their next project. This Value Pack features the common core Raspberry Pi Zero accessories at an Internet-busting price. It includes:
- 8GB Class 10 MicroSD Card – Class 10 MicroSD memory card optimized for 4K/4KQD32 chunks read/write. Preloaded with the latest version of NOOBS installer.

Each of the six items in the Mega Pack has been carefully selected to meet the most common needs of electronics lovers who are building a new gadget.
