Maker pHAT Board for Raspberry Pi

The Maker pHAT is a cleverly designed add-on board that simplifies working with the Raspberry Pi, making it ideal for beginners, educators, and makers. Its intuitive design allows you to start coding and see immediate results without the hassle of messy wires and extra hardware connections.

Designed to be the same compact size as the Raspberry Pi Zero, it stacks perfectly on top for a neat and integrated solution. The board is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models that utilise the standard 40-pin GPIO footprint, offering broad versatility.

Key Features & Functionality

• Three Programmable Push Buttons: Easily assign functions to buttons on GPIO pins 19, 20, and 21 for interactive projects.
• Active Buzzer: An onboard buzzer connected to GPIO 26 allows for audio feedback, alarms, and simple sound generation.
• LED Array: A dedicated array of LEDs connected to GPIO pins 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 22, 25, and 27 provides visual output for debugging, status indicators, or creative displays.
• Clearly Labelled Connections: All GPIO pins are clearly marked, including SPI, UART, I2C, 5V, 3.3V, and GND, eliminating guesswork during prototyping.
• Micro USB Power: Features a dedicated micro USB socket for power input.
• USB to UART Communication: Built-in serial communication simplifies connecting to a computer for programming and debugging.
• Safe Shutdown: The board facilitates an easy and proper shutdown procedure for your Raspberry Pi, helping to prevent data corruption.

This board is supplied as the Maker pHAT board only, allowing you to integrate it seamlessly with your existing Raspberry Pi setup. Its educational focus and plug-and-play nature make it a superb tool for learning electronics and Python programming in a hands-on, engaging way.
