Products we distribute directly
Waveshare
Open-source hardware and electronic components from Shenzhen, China, founded in 2006. It makes development boards, expansion modules, displays and sensors for the platforms developers actually build on — Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP32 and Jetson — which makes it the source for the parts that carry a prototype through to a working device.

Product lines
Raspberry Pi
The whole ecosystem around the Raspberry Pi — boards and kits, then the HATs, displays, cameras and cases that go on them. It is the brand's largest group and usually the first reason anyone meets the name.
- Boards / Kits
- Displays
- Cameras
- HATs
- All-in-one
- HomeLab
- Robots
- Accessories
AI
Boards and peripherals for running AI at the edge, built around NVIDIA Jetson, with the cameras, displays and expansion boards designed to fit that platform directly.
- Jetson Boards / Kits
- AI Cameras
- Displays
- Expansions
- Robots
- Accessories
ESP32
Boards and displays for the ESP32 family — S3, C6, P4 and the rest. This is the cheaper, lower-power side of the catalogue, for work that does not need a full Linux system underneath it.
- Boards / Kits
- Displays
- Cameras
- Industrial Controller
- Robots
Arduino
Official Arduino boards alongside Arduino-compatible boards and shields, with kits and cases — for teaching, prototyping and small control jobs.
- Official Arduino®
- Boards / Core Boards
- Kits
- Cases
- Accessories
Luckfox
Rockchip-based Linux boards and modules, which Waveshare lists as a line of its own — for work that needs a full operating system in a smaller and cheaper package than a general-purpose SBC.
- Linux Boards / Modules
- Displays
- Cameras
RISC-V
RISC-V boards — the VisionFive2 family — with the displays and expansion boards that support them, for work where an open instruction set is a requirement rather than a preference.
- Boards / Kits
- Displays
- Expansions / Accessories
- Cameras
Displays
Displays sold on their own, to attach to whatever board is underneath — LCD, OLED and e-Paper, from under an inch to over twenty, with the driver boards and cables that go with them.
- LCD
- OLED
- e-Paper
- Driver Boards
- USB Monitor
- Cables / Adapters
- Cases
IoT / Communication
Communication modules at every range — 5G/4G/Cat-1, NB-IoT, LoRa and GNSS for long haul; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and NFC for short; and USB or Ethernet converters to RS232, RS485 and CAN for everything still on a wire.
- Long Range Wireless
- Short Range Wireless
- Wired Comm / Converter
Misc Modules
The component shelf — cameras and audio, sensors from temperature and humidity through gas and lidar, motor and servo drivers, interface expansion, and the relay and power side.
- Cameras / Audio / Video
- Sensors
- Motors / Servos
- Interface Expansion
- Power / Relays / SCR
Robotics
Mobile robots and robot arms, and the parts they are made of — drivers, sensors, lidar, motors, servos and chassis. Used for teaching as much as for prototyping.
- Mobile Robots
- Robot Arm / Control
- Drivers / Sensors / Lidar
- Motors / Servos
- Robotic Components
MCU / FPGA
Core and development boards for STM32, AVR, PIC and ALTERA/XILINX FPGAs, with the programmers and debuggers to go with them — the part of the catalogue that embedded work below the ready-made-board level needs.
- Core Boards / Compact Boards
- Development Boards / Expansions
- Debugger / Programmer
- Programming Adapters
Models are not listed on the site yet
We are still putting model and specification data online. In the meantime, tell us what the device has to do, where it goes and what it connects to, and we will come back with the models that fit and their datasheets.
Already have a project in mind?
Send us the outline. We will come back with the questions worth answering before we book a site visit.
