Maker pHAT: Simplifying Raspberry Pi for {Education}

Maker pHAT: Simplifying Raspberry Pi for {Education} Maker pHAT is built to solve some typical problems that a beginner might face. Specifically some of them are: • Simplify getting started with the Raspberry Pi without an additional monitor, keyboard or mouse. Go headless in a few simple steps, allowing the user to remotely access the Raspberry Pi via serial. • Simplify learning electronics. Beginners can skip the hassle of building the basic electronic circuit which is boring and time consuming. While it is equally important for them to learn basic electronics, their learning may come later after they have experienced how easy it is to create an awesome project. Start coding with fun and excitement and see your board light up and play sound at the push of a button. It comes with LEDs, buttons and a buzzer to easily learn how to control input and output. No complicated wiring and no additional components required. • Simplify troubleshooting and prototyping. Not only do desk LEDs act as outputs, but they can also act as indicators, clearly showing what’s happening on that pin. When the pin is used as an input, you can clearly see if the signal is being received simply by looking at the changes in the LEDs. Pasted headers come with nice labels. This helps the user easily connect inputs and outputs to the correct terminals and further interface with sensors and actuators. • Simplify shutdown using the push button. You can easily follow the steps and select one of the buttons as the power button to shut down the Raspberry Pi properly. Just press the button and it will terminate. The Maker pHAT is designed to be the same size as the Raspberry Pi Zero, fitting perfectly on top of the Rpi Zero with four aligned mounting holes. We recommend you to get the Raspberry Pi Zero WH (with pre-soldered pins) for beginners because it is not easy to solder the GPIO with 40 pins without soldering tools. Maker pHAT is also compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B + or even Raspberry Pi 3A+, you only need to insert the 2×20 stacking header (included). Maker pHAT is compatible with: • Raspberry Pi Zero V1.3 (will need to solder 2×20 header pin – NOT included can consider Straight Pin Header (Male) 2×40 Ways) • Raspberry Pi Zero W (will need to solder 2×20 header pin – NOT included can consider Straight Pin Header (Male) 2×40 Ways) • Raspberry Pi Zero WH (Ready for plug and use) • Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+ (Will need 2×20 stacking header) • Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ (Will need 2×20 stacking header) • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (Will need 2×20 stacking header) • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Will need 2×20 stacking header) • Raspberry Pi 4 Model B ( Will need 2×20 stacking header ) Features: Raspberry Pi Zero size, stack perfectly on to Pi Zero Series of SBC (Single Board Computer). Compatible with standard size Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+, medium size Raspberry Pi 3A+ and smaller size Raspberry Pi Zero/W/WH. Standard Raspberry Pi GPIO footprint. LED array for selected GPIO pins (GPIO 17, 18, 27, 22, 25, 12, 13, 19). 3x on board programmable push buttons (GPIO 21, 19 and 20, need to configure as input pull up). On board active buzzer (GPIO 26). Proper label for all GPIOs, including SPI, UART, I2C, 5V, 3.3V, and GND. Utilize USB Micro-B socket for 5V input and USB to UART communication. USB serial facilitated by the CH340, Rev1.10 uses FT231X as the USB to UART Input voltage: USB 5V, from computer, power bank or standard USB adapter. PURPLE PCB!
