Description: The Pimoroni Explorer HAT Pro is a “shield” for the Raspberry Pi and provides you with the perfect prototyping sidekick for your Pi. The Explorer HAT Pro has a heap of useful input and output options that will take your Raspberry Pi projects to the next level. This add-on board is great for driving motors, using analog sensors, interfacing with 5V systems and touch (even fruit-based!) interfaces.

Each Pimoroni Explorer HAT Pro easily snaps on top of a Raspberry Pi equipped with a 40-pin (2x20) GPIO. Pimoroni has created a GitHub repository bundling the Explorer software with a set of examples to get you started in an easy-to-use Python module to get prototyping right away.

Features:

  • Four buffered 5V tolerant inputs
  • Four powered 5V outputs (up to 500mA!)
  • Four capacitive touch pads
  • Four capacitive crocodile clip pads
  • Eight 4-colored LEDs
  • Four analog inputs
  • Two H-bridge motor drivers
  • A heap of useful (unprotected) 3v3 goodies from the GPIO
  • A mini breadboard on top!

Customer Comments

  • Error in your specs above, What you have as “Eight 4-colored LEDs” should be “Four coloured LEDs (red, green, blue, and yellow)”.

  • It has crocodile clip pads! So much better than alligator clip pads.
