Read the assembly and coding guide before your first build.

Give a compatible Raspberry Pi the hardware interfaces needed for a more capable robot.

Functions

  • Control four DC motors and up to twelve PWM servo channels.
  • Read analogue inputs and connect serial peripherals.
  • Explore projects using onboard audio hardware.

Components & hardware

HAT+ expansion board with motor drivers, PWM outputs, four 12-bit ADC inputs, microphone, speaker, power management and I2C/SPI/UART interfaces.

Technology

Raspberry Pi-compatible expansion; Python control libraries.

How it works

The Raspberry Pi runs the application while the HAT supplies the motor, servo and analogue interfaces. This separates high-level software from the electrical work of controlling peripherals.

Specifications

  • Kit type: Robot Expansion Board.
  • Platform: raspberry-pi.
  • Control and interfaces: Raspberry Pi-compatible expansion; Python control libraries.
  • Selected option: HAT+ expansion board — Raspberry Pi excluded.

What's included

Selected configuration and described hardware: HAT+ expansion board — Raspberry Pi excluded. HAT+ expansion board with motor drivers, PWM outputs, four 12-bit ADC inputs, microphone, speaker, power management and I2C/SPI/UART interfaces.

Exact quantities and minor accessories should be checked against the supplier's packing list before ordering.

Suggested skill level

Intermediate — check compatibility and wiring before use.

Project ideas

  • Control a motor and servo sequence.
  • Read analogue input alongside audio output.

Before you build

Raspberry Pi is excluded, including when pictured beneath the board. Match the board revision, power supply and software. Optional cloud AI services require separate setup and may charge usage fees.
