Raspberry Pi Build HAT

£24.00 GBP Sale

The Raspberry Pi Build HAT is an add-on board that connects to your Raspberry Pi's 40-pin GPIO header and was created in collaboration with LEGO® Education to make controlling LEGO® Technic ™ motors and sensors with Raspberry Pi computers simple. 

It includes four connectors for SPIKE TM Portfolio LEGO® TechnicTM motors and sensors. A distance sensor, a color sensor, and a versatile force sensor are among the sensors available. The angular motors are available in a variety of sizes and have built-in encoders that may be used to determine their location. The Build HAT is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers that have a 40-pin GPIO header, including the Raspberry Pi 400 (with the use of a ribbon cable or other extension device).

Connected LEGO® TechnicTM devices, as well as ordinary Raspberry Pi accessories like a camera module , can be simply managed in Python. The Raspberry Pi Build HAT power supply , which is sold separately, is designed to power both the Build HAT and the Raspberry Pi computer, as well as any other LEGO® TechnicTM devices connected to it.

The LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Set 45678 and SPIKE™ Prime Expansion Set 45681, available separately from LEGO® Education resellers, include a collection of useful elements supported by the Build HAT.
