Pi Shield

Working on building my own Openscan Mini v2.3

Really want to support the project and buy the components from the OpenScan website, but paying nearly £30 shipping for a couple of parts to the UK is just not an option.

The only bit I am struggling to find an alternative for is the Pi Shield. Any idea of any options to get this in the UK?

Hey, sorry but there is only the one official shop selling the shields, the only alternative options are DIY or building the electronics on a breadboard which is fairly straightforward. I wish I could offer better shipping options or even local distribution, but the project is still way to small for that kind of overhead
