Nano HAT Hacker

by Pimoroni

The Black HAT Hacker in bijou form. It's Nano HAT Hacker (formerly known as Pico HAT Hacker)!

Nano HAT Hacker gives you full access to all 40 pins on your Pi, broken out at the top. It's a super-skinny 0.8mm PCB, like our SHIMs, so you can solder it right onto the pins on your Pi and still have enough height on a standard header to fit a HAT or pHAT on top.

There's handy labels for all of the pins, with BCM pin numbering on one side, and more descriptive labels on the other to show where the I2C, UART, SPI, PWM, and I2S pins are. You can solder the Nano HAT Hacker either way up, depending on which set of labels you find most useful.

Please note that Nano HAT Hacker is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Features

  • BCM and descriptive pin labelling
  • Mounting holes (M2.5)
  • 0.8mm thick PCB
  • Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models

Notes

  • You'll need to pick up an extra 40-pin male header to solder onto Nano HAT Hacker
  • Be sparing with the solder when soldering Nano 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
  • Dimensions: 65x19x0.8mm (LxWxH)

Works perfectly as advertised, good documentation and a nice set of example programs. I can take it from there. I have been thinking of but not actually buying it for literally years - the recent sale made me a buyer. Just the thing to amuse the piano-playing members of my family.

Recently purchased one of these piano hat boards for my raspberry pi, as usual the service from Pimoroni was excellent and the board is of a really good quality. It's nicely laid out and the touch pads are a decent size. The board looks very classy with the black background and gold lettering and the software to go with it makes using the board very easy. Although it's laid out as a piano it could be used for anything which requires 16 capacitive touch pads and leds.
