PIMORONI Nano HAT Hacker for Raspberry Pi
Introducing the PIMORONI Nano HAT Hacker, your key to full access to all 40 pins on your Pi, conveniently broken out at the top for easy access. This ultra-slim 0.8mm PCB, akin to our SHIMs, allows for seamless soldering directly onto your Pi’s pins while still leaving enough clearance for a standard header to accommodate a HAT or pHAT on top.
Featuring handy labels for all pins, you’ll find BCM pin numbering on one side and more descriptive labels on the other, highlighting the locations of the I2C, UART, SPI, PWM, and I2S pins. Whether you prefer the BCM pin numbering or the descriptive labels, you have the flexibility to solder the Pico HAT Hacker either way up, catering to your specific preferences and requirements.
Unlock the full potential of your Raspberry Pi with the PIMORONI Nano HAT Hacker, providing effortless access to all pins and enabling seamless integration with your favorite add-ons and accessories.
Notes:
- You’ll need to pick up an extra 40-pin male header to solder onto Pico HAT Hacker
- Be sparing with the solder when soldering Pico HAT Hacker onto the pins of your Pi, otherwise, the solder will wick up the pins and you’ll find it awkward to fit HATs/pHATs on top.
