Inventor HAT Mini
Transform your Raspberry Pi into a robot, prop, kinetic sculpture, creepy automaton, or any other exciting moving creation. The Inventor HAT Mini makes it easy to drive motors with encoders, connect up to four servos, and add a speaker for sound effects.
Expandability is a key feature, with a pass-through header for stacking with other boards and four additional ADC-capable GPIO pins. These pins allow you to attach analog or digital sensors, buttons, LEDs, or other accessories. The HAT also includes 8 addressable RGB LEDs (Neopixels) for visual indicators.
To ensure a quick and hassle-free start, the Inventor HAT Mini comes with pre-soldered pin headers, a Qw/ST connector for breakout compatibility, and a fully featured Python library with helpful examples. Power users will appreciate the unpopulated external power input, enabling the use of higher voltage motors and servos (up to 10V).
Key Features:
- Nuvoton microcontroller (MS51TC0AE) with built-in 16-bit PWM and 12-bit Analog to Digital Converter.
- Header pins for connecting 3-pin hobby servos and GPIO (ADC capable).
- Dual H-Bridge motor driver (DRV8833) with JST-SH connectors for motors with encoders.
- MAX98357 3.2W I2S mono amplifier and 2-pin connector for attaching a speaker.
- 8 addressable RGB LEDs/Neopixels for visual indicators.
- User button for interaction.
- Qw/ST connector for attaching breakouts.
- Pass-through 40-pin header for stacking with other HATs.
- Fully assembled - no soldering required.
- Python library for easy programming.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers with a 40-pin header.
- Especially neat fit on Raspberry Pi Zero boards.
Notes:
- Measurements: 65mm x 30.5mm x 15.5mm (L x W x H, approx).
- Extra broken-out headers for advanced users (unpopulated, soldering required).
- Multiple power options for flexibility, including external power via a screw terminal block.
- Direction indicators and motor features can be customized through back trace cutting.
