Explorer HAT Pro

The Explorer HAT Pro is a must - have add - on for your Raspberry Pi. It's packed with useful features like digital inputs and outputs, capacitive touch pads, croc clip compatible pads, colorful LEDs, analog inputs, motor drivers, and a mini breadboard for project prototyping. This device is perfect for little robots, games, science experiments, exploring small electronic circuits, and interacting with your Pi. We've also included a handy parts kit with LEDs, dials, a buzzer, and a temperature sensor to help you start building circuits right away. It pairs well with our no - soldering - required micro metal gearmotors and STS - Pi robot kit. Key features include four buffered 5V tolerant inputs (great for Arduino compatibility), four powered 5V outputs, four capacitive touch pads, four capacitive crocodile clip pads, four colored LEDs (red, green, blue, and yellow), four analog inputs, two H - bridge motor drivers, useful 3v3 goodies from the GPIO, a mini breadboard on top, a clear pinout, compatibility with multiple Raspberry Pi models, a Python library, and it comes fully assembled. Our Python library makes it super easy to use, with examples to showcase all its functions. Note that our software doesn't support Raspbian Wheezy. The inputs accept 2V - 5V as logic high, and the mini breadboard has 170 points (17x5 per half).

Using the Explorer HAT Pro is a breeze. First, connect it to your Raspberry Pi. It's compatible with many models like the 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W. Once connected, you can start using the various features. If you're into building robots, use the motor drivers to control the movement. For science experiments, the analog inputs can measure different values. To get started quickly, use the parts kit we've provided. Just connect the LEDs, dials, buzzer, or temperature sensor to the appropriate pads. When using the software, make sure your Raspberry Pi doesn't run Raspbian Wheezy as our Python library won't work on it. For the inputs, remember that they accept voltages from 2V - 5V as a logic high. As for maintenance, keep the device clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to store it, place it in a safe, static - free environment.
