This is an Arduino-compatible board with integrated 3W stereo amplifier designed for use in arcade projects (like our Picade).

It behaves like a keyboard when plugged in via USB and has a default key-mapping (though you can reprogram it using the Arduino IDE). Connections are made using screw terminals for a solid, permanent installation.

It uses the same micro-controller as the Arduino Leonardo (the ATmega32U4) and is pre-installed with the Arduino bootloader and our software.

Features

  • Powered by an ATmega32U4 (32KB, 2.5K RAM @ 16MHz)
  • 6-pin ISP header for direct programming (also pre-loaded with Arduino bootloader)
  • Includes a stereo 3W amplifier (PAM8407) for use with 4Ω speakers
  • Appears as a USB HID device (keyboard) to the host
  • Screw terminal contacts for four-direction Joystick, 12 buttons, and two speakers
  • Reset button
  • Mounting holes
  • Power, Bootload, TX, and RX LED indicators

I've built 3 arcades now and these boards have been invaluable. Really easy to setup, and customise to your needs. I've used them with regular joysticks and buttons (both single and 2 player setups) as well as analog based controls (in my case a steering wheel) and they have worked perfectly every time. I especially love the fact it has an inbuilt audio amp too as saves having to buy and install another component. Really useful when space is at a premium. Highly recommended

Works exactly as expected and more. I'm currently using this in a portable Pi console project and has the perfect features for what I needed. Changes from the model down to this make this HAT a must have for mini arcade builders and Pi hobbyists couldn't recommend more.

This keyboard emulator has the added feature of a 3amp stereo amplifier which makes hooking up speakers in your cabinet so easy. Does every thing I need from a single board. Will definitely buy more of these.
