Description

The Pimoroni HAT Hacker HAT significantly expands your Raspberry Pi’s connectivity by providing two independent 40-pin GPIO headers. This innovative design allows developers and makers to simultaneously connect two mini HATs, or a standard HAT alongside a mini HAT, effectively doubling the expansion capabilities. It is an ideal solution for complex prototyping, advanced debugging scenarios, or integrating multiple peripheral modules into a single Raspberry Pi project.

Beyond its functional expansion, the HAT Hacker HAT offers a clean and integrated mounting solution. Designed to sit directly atop the Raspberry Pi, it provides a compact footprint for projects requiring dual HAT functionality. The inclusion of multiple standoffs ensures secure and stable physical mounting for both the HAT Hacker HAT and any attached mini HATs, making it suitable for both temporary experimentation and permanent project installations.

Key Features

  • Dual landing areas for mini HATs with pre-installed 40-pin male connectors.
  • GPIO pins clearly labeled with their function and BCM pin numbers for easy identification.
  • Includes six black metal PCB standoffs for secure HAT and mini HAT mounting.
  • Features eight mounting holes for robust integration into enclosures or larger systems.
  • Pre-installed 40-pin female connector ensures direct attachment to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO header.
  • Completely pre-assembled, requiring no soldering for immediate deployment.

Applications

  • Prototyping and development of complex Raspberry Pi projects requiring multiple HATs or mini HATs.
  • Robotics and automation, integrating various sensors, motor drivers, or communication modules.
  • IoT gateway applications where multiple peripheral devices need to interface with the Raspberry Pi.
  • Educational kits and workshops demonstrating multi-HAT functionality and GPIO management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Raspberry Pi models are compatible with the HAT Hacker HAT?

The Pimoroni HAT Hacker HAT is compatible with any Raspberry Pi model featuring a standard 40-pin GPIO header. This includes the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+, Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4, and the Raspberry Pi 5. It provides a secure, direct connection for expanded functionality.

Can I use a standard HAT and a mini HAT simultaneously?

Yes, the HAT Hacker HAT is specifically designed for this flexibility. It allows you to connect a full-size HAT to one of its 40-pin headers and a mini HAT to the other. This enables versatile project configurations without needing multiple GPIO breakout boards.

Is soldering required to use the Pimoroni HAT Hacker HAT?

No, the Pimoroni HAT Hacker HAT comes fully assembled with all necessary headers pre-installed. You simply attach it to your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header and then mount your HATs or mini HATs directly onto the provided connectors, ensuring ease of use.

How does the HAT Hacker HAT manage GPIO conflicts when using two HATs?

The HAT Hacker HAT physically provides two sets of headers, but it does not resolve GPIO conflicts at the software level. Users must ensure that the two attached HATs or mini HATs do not attempt to use the same GPIO pins, I2C, SPI, or UART interfaces simultaneously without proper software arbitration.

What are the physical dimensions and weight of the HAT Hacker HAT?

The HAT Hacker HAT measures approximately 70mm in length and 60mm in width. It weighs about 15 grams, making it a lightweight addition to your Raspberry Pi setup. Its compact design ensures minimal overhead while maximizing your expansion capabilities.
