The Raspberry Pi transformed computing with its compact size, affordability, and versatility, making it a favourite among hobbyists and engineers.
As creators of the BC1 Open Benchtable (a collaboration between HWBOT, Overclocking-TV and Streacom), we know a thing or two about what goes into making a well-designed and durable test bench. Now, we’re bringing that same philosophy to the Raspberry Pi with the BC1 Pi – Open Benchtable — the perfect solution for testing, tinkering, and prototyping with your Pi.
Scaling down for the Pi, the table is 6mm thick and weights just 138g, but dont let that fool you. It is still made of a high-grade, precision machined, anodized aluminium which offers fantastic rigidity while also being extremely lightweight. The thumbscrews are the same high quality stainless steel ones used on the BC1 with small M2.5 standoffs to match the Pi mounting hole diameter.
In short, the worlds most popular test bench now supports the worlds most popular single-board computer.
As with the original BC1, it will join the Open Benchtable Project, a community-driven platform that will allow the benchtable to evolve over time through accessories and mods from third-party developers.

A SIMPLE BUT INGENIOUS DESIGN

Just like its bigger brothers, the beauty of the BC1 Pi is the simple but functional design. Everything needed for assembly cleverly attaches to the table so it stores flat and nothing gets lost.

Whilst the BC1 Pi was specifically designed for use with the Raspberry Pi, there are other single-board computers with the same form factor that are compatible. So long as the mounting holes align, it does not even need to be a one for one size match. Other boards that are compatible are the Asus Tinker Board, Banana Pi, Orange Pi, RockPi, FriendlyARM Nano Pi and probably a few more that we forgot to mention.
