SunFounder Raspberry Pi HATs are engineered for seamless integration. Unlike generic expansion boards, our HATs are rigorously tested for pin compatibility and power stability, ensuring they fit perfectly on your Raspberry Pi 5 or 4 GPIO headers without requiring messy jumper wires. We provide detailed documentation, Python/C libraries, and active community support to ensure your expansion modules work right out of the box.
○ Advanced Robotics: Use a Motor Driver HAT to control multiple DC motors and servos simultaneously, turning your Pi into a robot controller.
○ Hi-Fi Audio Player: Attach a DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) HAT to stream high-resolution audio for your home media center.
○ Environmental Station: Stack a Sensor HAT equipped with barometric, temperature, and humidity sensors to monitor local weather data precisely.
○ What is a Raspberry Pi HAT?
A HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) is an add-on board that mounts directly onto the Raspberry Pi's 40-pin GPIO header. It follows a specific standard that allows the Pi to automatically configure the GPIOs and drivers, making setup significantly easier.
○ Are your HATs compatible with the new Raspberry Pi 5?
Yes, many of our latest Raspberry Pi HATs are optimized for the Raspberry Pi 5, while maintaining backward compatibility with the Pi 4 and 3B+. Please check the specific product page for detailed compatibility lists.
○ Do I need to install drivers for these HATs?
Most SunFounder HATs require simple library installations which we provide in our online Wiki. Our tutorials guide you through the setup process using terminal commands to get your GPIO extension running in minutes.
