PCIe Flex Cable for NVMe Base and Raspberry Pi 5

by Pimoroni

These cables give you a variety of options for connecting and placing your NVMe Base or NVMe Base Duo.

They have a 'one way' design with 16 pads at the Raspberry Pi 5 end and 18 pins at the NVMe Base end to prevent incorrect installation.

They are designed for PCIe Gen 3 speeds and support Gen 2 perfectly fine also.

PCIe GUIDe

The 35mm PCIe Pipe is the standard cable that ships with NVMe Base for a compact install.

The 50mm PCIe Pipe adds some length, while remaining in-spec so you can mount your NVMe Base more comfortably around an existing case. It allows for a wider range of mechanical setups and might also be handy if you want to mount your Base on top/alongside your RPi 5.

The straight 33mm PCIe Flex cable is the one you'll need for use with NVME Base Duo.

ARRR GEEE BEEEE! I'm driving it with a microcontroller + circuitpython by adapting an Adafruit LCD library for the ST7565 (almost the same as the ST7567 in the GFX hat) and porting the Pimoroni SN3218 library to circuitpython. Works great! I don't need capacitive touch so not bothering with that.

Prompt delivery. Worked out of the box with their examples. Great price at discounted price of £9. Perhaps some more detailed documentation would be useful.

An incredibly priced device, great screen, the buttons work very well and the LEDs for each buttons are very appreciated. The RGB backlight with individually control zones is a great touch. I am currently using it with a pi to received and display SMS messages.

Lovely upgrade to my display-o-tron, and inky phat... and though it’s not as higher resolution as the inky Phat, the ability to refresh the data quicker makes it much more useful

Just bought my second one of these, great for small embedded projects. Pimoroni is becoming a favourite here too, I've bought quite a few things now and the goodies have always arrived quickly.
