LearCNC presents our fully Plug and Play, highly optimised RETRO CLASSIC gaming experience with integrated XXXX Media Centre. Powered by the latest Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and enhanced by the very best LearCNC custom hardware, our professionally configured retro entertainment system allows you to seamlessly flow between all the legendary retro console and arcade systems of the past. All from the one easy to use interface, all out of the box.
As a fully Plug and Play system all the hardware components of this package will arrive professionally assembled and tested before dispatch. So you may buy with confidence that everything will "Just Work" right out of the box, and also that you are buying the very best Genuine and LearCNC custom Raspberry Pi componentry currently available. All hardware has been expertly matched by our experienced engineers drawing on many years of combined experience in developing custom Raspberry Pi solutions as the leading supplier of custom Raspberry Pi packages in Australia.
Genuine Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (V1.2) now with a 1200Mhz Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit ARMv8 processor and onboard 802.11 WiFi and LE Bluetooth. The Raspberry Pi 3 mainboard form factor remains (almost) completely compatible with previous Model 2 and B+ boards with the only notable difference being the indication LEDs are now on the opposite side of the board.
Not everything is the same however, so please note the following;
Increased Power Requirement - The Raspberry Pi 3 has increased power requirements which means you will need to provide a higher spec power supply (5.1V @ 2500mA) and a matching high current (look for 20AWG full copper) USB switch cable as the "official" Raspberry Pi 3 power supply offering still has no ON/OFF switch.
Increased Cooling Requirement - The raspberry Pi 3 runs HOT, VERY HOT. LearCNC was one of the first in the world to discover, investigate, document and provide custom cooling solutions for the Raspberry Pi 3 overheating problem. Be careful using the "official" Raspberry Pi "foundation" cases as they are sealed boxes and even with heatsinks fitted can "cook" your Raspberry Pi 3 causing it to malfunction.
Super Premium Raspberry Pi 3 Logo case with LearCNC UltraQUIET Active Cooling Fan and XFlow Heatsinks. This precision injection molded ABS case stylishly encases and protects your Raspberry Pi and features the best "no fastener" mounting system we have ever experienced for both your Raspberry Pi and the included UltraQUIET Active Cooling Fan.
When assembled the case presents beautifully with a non-marking matte finish featuring an embossment of our favorite fruity logo and has a quality, solid feel even though no fasteners are required for assembly.
The included custom UltraQUIET fan has additional, specially designed blades that turn slower while still providing excellent airflow and reducing annoying fan "whine" noise. This custom fan is designed to run quiet at 5V (no modification to 3V is required) and may be plugged directly to your Raspberry Pi GPIO header.
To complement the fan assisted cooling, two (2x) premium custom 3M Thermal Transfer adhesive backed XFlow Heatsinks are included to be directly mounted on the Raspberry Pi. Our XFlow heatsinks are cross cut and black anodised to provide enhanced cooling capacity and they also look awesome mounted on your Raspberry Pi board.
High quality SNES style controllers in the all time classic ABXY layout that just feels right. These controllers are custom made for LearCNC utilising a zero delay interface for the lowest input latency and are fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi. Just plug the controller into any free USB port, with up to 4 simultaneous controllers on Raspberry Pi 3 for games that support multiplayer action.
Featuring a classic ABXY layout with dual shoulder buttons and a generous cable length, our SNES Classic controller is perfect for most console emulators including Atari, NES, SNES, N64, SEGA, PSX and Arcade.
The LearCNC Raspberry Pi 3 power supply with our famous high current ("clicky") switched USB cable combo is the reigning de facto standard Raspberry Pi 3 power solution outperforming and outselling all other solutions and currently powering thousands of Raspberry Pi boards Australia wide.
Our Raspberry Pi power solution is a modern switch mode power supply design with class leading specs of 5.1V @ 3000mA (Peak), matched to a high current 20AWG USB switched power cable, all with FULL Australian Regulatory Compliance (RCM) Safety / Efficiency Level 3 Certification including ERAC national database registration.
Being fully Australian RCM certified, you can buy with confidence that our power supply solution has passed stringent safety testing by an authorised Australian testing laboratory and is safe for use in the home, school and workplace.
Our custom designed premium HDMI cable featuring the latest UltraSLIM technology with gold plated connectors and full HDMI V1.4 compliance supporting up to 10.2Gbps 4K HD Video, lossless multi-channel high fidelity audio, Ethernet and CEC.
No longer do you have to tolerate big fat HDMI cables dragging your device around. Due to the latest Ultra Slim technology this HDMI cable is only slightly larger than a standard USB cable, and nearly as flexible allowing for more convenient cable routing and device placement options without sacrificing A/V fidelity or performance.
SANDISK ULTRA is a class leading microSD card family featuring a CLASS 10 speed rating with up to 48MB/s transfer rates and a proven track record for reliable storage. High data transfer rates means less time transferring files, faster load times and more generally snappier performance. This is especially true for embedded systems such as your Raspberry Pi 3, where performance is tightly coupled to the performance of the underlying storage system.
