Description

The Pimoroni Picade X HAT USB-C provides an integrated solution for building custom arcade cabinets and control interfaces with Raspberry Pi. This HAT simplifies wiring with no-fuss female Dupont connectors for joysticks and buttons, eliminating the need for complex soldering. Users simply mount the HAT onto their Raspberry Pi, connect a USB-C power supply directly to the HAT (which subsequently powers the Pi via the GPIO), and wire up their controls.

Beyond robust control input, the Picade X HAT USB-C features an I2S audio DAC with a 3W mono amplifier and convenient push-fit terminals, delivering clear sound for arcade projects. It also includes a safe power on/off system controlled by a tactile button with LED indication, ensuring proper shutdown of the Raspberry Pi. Breakout pins are available for additional power, I2C communication, and extra buttons, offering flexibility for advanced customization.

Key Features

  • Integrated I2S audio DAC with a 3W mono amplifier and push-fit terminals for speaker output.
  • Secure power management system with a tactile power button and corresponding LED indicator for safe Pi shutdown.
  • Single USB-C connector for power input, intelligently back-powering the connected Raspberry Pi through its 40-pin GPIO.
  • Dedicated 4-way digital joystick inputs for precise control in arcade applications.
  • Six primary player button inputs designed for comprehensive game control.
  • Four utility button inputs for ancillary functions or menu navigation.
  • One soft power switch input for custom power control integration.
  • One power LED output for visual power status indication.
  • Convenient breakout pins for additional power connections, I2C communication bus, and two supplementary buttons.
  • Broad compatibility across all Raspberry Pi models featuring a 40-pin GPIO header.

Applications

  • Custom DIY arcade cabinet builds
  • Retro gaming consoles
  • Interactive kiosks with button-based interfaces
  • Industrial control panels requiring robust button and joystick input
  • Educational projects focused on embedded control systems
