Meet the Pico HAT Hacker, a tiny yet powerful accessory that gives you full access to all 40 pins on your Raspberry Pi. It's a sleek 0.8mm PCB, just like our SHIMs, allowing you to solder it directly onto your Pi's pins. You can still stack a HAT or pHAT on top with a standard header. The pins come with handy labels. One side shows BCM pin numbering, and the other has more descriptive labels for I2C, UART, SPI, PWM, and I2S pins. You can solder it either way up based on your preference. Features include BCM and descriptive pin labelling, mounting holes (M2.5), a 0.8mm thick PCB, and compatibility with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W. Note that you'll need an extra 40 - pin male header for soldering. Also, use solder sparingly when attaching it to your Pi to avoid issues with fitting HATs/pHATs on top. It measures 65x19x0.8mm (LxWxH).
Using the Pico HAT Hacker is easy. First, you'll need to get an extra 40 - pin male header and solder it onto the Pico HAT Hacker. Then, carefully solder the Pico HAT Hacker onto the pins of your Raspberry Pi. Make sure to use solder sparingly so that it doesn't wick up the pins, which could make it hard to fit other HATs or pHATs on top. You can choose to solder it with either the BCM pin numbering side or the more descriptive label side facing up, depending on what you find most useful. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Since it's a small and thin PCB, handle it with care to avoid any damage. It's compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W, so you can use it with different models of Raspberry Pi.
