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
