Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum current that the relays on the Automation HAT can switch?

Each of the three relays on the Pimoroni Automation HAT is rated to switch loads up to 24V at 2 Amperes. This makes them suitable for controlling a variety of low-voltage DC devices, such as motors, lights, or solenoids in automation projects, but they are not suitable for mains voltages.

What is the voltage tolerance for the analog and buffered inputs?

The three high-voltage analog inputs (ADC) on the Automation HAT are tolerant up to 24V, and the three buffered inputs are also 24V tolerant. This allows for direct connection to sensors and systems operating within this voltage range, providing versatility for industrial environments.

Which Raspberry Pi models are compatible with the Automation HAT?

The Pimoroni Automation HAT is designed to be compatible with all Raspberry Pi models that feature a standard 40-pin GPIO header. This includes popular models like the Raspberry Pi 3B+, 4B, and the Raspberry Pi 5, ensuring broad compatibility across the Raspberry Pi ecosystem.

Are the broken-out SPI, TX, RX, and GPIO #25 pins pre-soldered?

No, while the Automation HAT comes fully assembled, the broken-out SPI, TX (#14), RX (#15), and GPIO #25 pins are not pre-soldered. Users will need to solder their own headers or wires to these pins if they wish to utilize these specific GPIO functionalities in their projects.
