Description

The Pimoroni Automation HAT Mini extends the capabilities of your Raspberry Pi with a comprehensive suite of automation features. It integrates a single 24V @ 2A relay, three 24V-tolerant buffered digital inputs, three 24V-tolerant sinking digital outputs, and three 12-bit analog inputs (0-24V). A vibrant 0.96″ full-color IPS LCD provides real-time status updates and system information directly on the board.

This versatile HAT is engineered for a variety of control applications, from sophisticated home automation and environmental monitoring systems to managing low-voltage lighting. It’s crucial to note that loads for sinking outputs should be ground-side switched, while the relay supports high-side switching up to 2A. The three sinking outputs collectively manage a maximum of 500mA. Users must ensure that this HAT is strictly used with low-voltage systems and never for switching mains voltages, adhering to the specified 24V tolerance across all I/O.

Key Features

  • Integrated 0.96" color LCD (160x80 resolution) for visual feedback.
  • Equipped with one 24V @ 2A relay, featuring both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) terminals.
  • Three 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) channels (ADS1015), supporting 0-24V input with ±2% accuracy.
  • Features three 24V tolerant buffered digital inputs for robust signal acquisition.
  • Provides three 24V tolerant sinking digital outputs, ideal for controlling external loads.
  • Convenient 3.5mm screw terminals for secure and reliable wiring connections.
  • Designed in a Mini HAT-format for compact integration with Raspberry Pi boards.
  • Delivered fully-assembled, requiring no soldering for immediate use.
  • Compatible with all Raspberry Pi models that feature a 40-pin GPIO header.

Applications

  • Home Automation Systems (e.g., smart lighting, environmental controls).
  • Greenhouse Automation (e.g., intelligent sprinkler systems).
  • Scheduled Device Control (e.g., automated pet feeders).
  • Low-Voltage Lighting System Management.
  • Sensor Data Acquisition and Monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Raspberry Pi models are compatible with the Automation HAT Mini?

The Automation HAT Mini is fully compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a standard 40-pin GPIO header. This includes models like the Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi 3B+, Raspberry Pi 4, and Raspberry Pi 5, ensuring broad applicability across the ecosystem.

What are the voltage tolerances for the inputs and outputs?

All three buffered digital inputs and three sinking digital outputs on the Automation HAT Mini are 24V tolerant. The analog inputs can measure voltages between 0-24V. It is critical to operate strictly within these low-voltage parameters and never connect to mains electricity.

Can the Automation HAT Mini control AC loads or high-power devices?

No, the Automation HAT Mini is designed exclusively for low-voltage DC applications. The relay is rated for 24V @ 2A, and the sinking outputs have a total maximum current of 500mA. It is unsafe and strictly forbidden to connect this HAT to AC mains voltage or high-power loads exceeding its specifications.

What is the purpose of the integrated 0.96" LCD display?

The onboard 0.96" full-color IPS LCD display provides a convenient way to visualize system status, sensor readings, or operational information directly on the HAT. This allows for quick diagnostics and monitoring without needing an external display or SSH connection.

Is soldering required to use the Pimoroni Automation HAT Mini?

No, the Pimoroni Automation HAT Mini comes fully-assembled. It features a female 40-pin header, allowing it to be directly plugged onto your Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins without any soldering required, enabling quick setup and deployment.
