Take control of and monitor your world with our ultimate jack-of-all-trades Raspberry Pi HAT!We've pulled together a great set of features into this home monitoring and automation controller. With relays, analog channels, powered outputs, and buffered inputs (all 24 V tolerant) you can now hook up a plethora of goodies to your Raspberry Pi all at once.Better still each channel has an indicator LEDs which means at a glance you can see what's happening with your setup. Even the analog channels have dimming LEDs that allow you to see the value they are currently sensing – swish!Ideal for smart home and automation projects, giving your greenhouse intelligent sprinklers, or scheduling your fish feeding!Features

Python library
Schematic
Comes fully assembled (broken out pins require soldering)
SoftwareAs ever, we've made a super-simple to use Python library to take advantage of Automation HAT's multitudinous functions, with examples to get you started.Our input, output and relay examples show you how to read the analog and digital inputs, switch the outputs on and off, and control the relays.Notes
We recommend you use a set of brass M2.5 standoffs with Automation HAT to avoid pins contacting the HDMI port if the HAT is pushed down
Loads for the buffered outputs should be switched on the ground side, i.e. 12/24 V (from supply) -> load -> output terminal -> ground (from supply)
The relays can tolerate up to 2 A each and should be switched on the high side
The sinking outputs can sink a maximum 500 mA total across the 3 outputs, so if you use a single channel you can sink the whole 500 mA across it.
The accuracy of the ADC is ±2%.
Do not use to switch mains voltages!
Thanks to its six sturdy slots, Breakout Garden enables the users to simply plug and play with various tiny breakout board.Just insert one or more boards into the slots in the Breakout Garden HAT and you’re ready to go. The mini breakouts feel secure enough in the edge-connector slots and are very unlikely to fall out.There are a number of useful pins along the top of Breakout Garden, which lets you connect other devices and integrate them into your project.You shouldn't be worried if you insert a board the wrong way thanks to provided reverse polarity protection. It doesn't matter which slot you use for each breakout either, because the I²C address of the breakout will be recognised by the software and it'll detect them correctly in case you move them around.Features
Six sturdy edge-connector slots for Pimoroni breakouts
0.1” pitch, 5 pin connectors
Broken-out pins (1 × 10 strip of male header included)
Standoffs (M2.5, 10 mm height) included to hold your Breakout Garden securely
Reverse polarity protection (built into breakouts)
HAT format board
Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
It's suggested using the included standoffs to attache Breakout Garden to your Raspberry Pi.SoftwareBreakout Garden doesn't require any software of its own, but each breakout you use will need a Python library. On the Breakout Garden GitHub page you'll find an automatic installer, which will install the appropriate software for a given breakout. There are also some examples that show you what else you can do with Breakout Garden.
Display HAT Mini features a bright 18-bit capable 320x240 pixel display with vibrant colours and formidable IPS viewing angles, connected via SPI. It's got four tactile buttons for interacting with your Raspberry Pi with your digits and a RGB LED for notifications. A QwST connector (Qwiic / STEMMA QT) and a Breakout Garden header is also squeezed in so it's a doddle to connect up different kinds of breakouts.It will work with any model of Raspberry Pi with a 40 pin header, but we think it goes with the Raspberry Pi Zero particularly well - we've included a pair of standoffs so you can use to bolt HAT and Raspberry Pi together to make a sturdy little unit. To accommodate the screen Display HAT Mini is a bit bigger than a standard mini HAT or pHAT – it's around 5 mm taller than a Raspberry Pi Zero (so a Mini HAT XL or a Mini HAT Pro, if you will).Display HAT Mini lets you turn a Raspberry Pi into a convenient IoT control panel, a tiny photo frame, digital art display or gif-box, or a desktop display for news headlines, tweets, or other info from online APIs. This screen is a handy 3:2 ratio, useful for retro gaming purposes!Features

Add up to six servos? Sure? Attach a little speaker so you can make noise? No problem! It's also got a battery connector so you can power your inventions from AA/AAA or LiPo batteries and carry your miniature automaton/animated top hat/treasure chest that growls at your enemies around with you untethered.You also get a ton of options for hooking up sensors and other gubbins – there's two Qw/ST connectors (and an unpopulated Breakout Garden slot) for attaching breakouts, three ADC pins for analog sensors, photoresistors and such, and three spare digital GPIO you could use for LEDs, buttons or digital sensors. Speaking of LEDs, the board features 12 addressable LEDs (AKA Neopixels) – one for each servo and GPIO/ADC channel.Features

Pico Breakout Garden Base sits underneath your Pico and lets you connect up to six of our extensive selection of Pimoroni breakouts to it. Whether it's environmental sensors so you can keep track of the temperature and humidity in your office, a whole host of little screens for important notifications and readouts, and, of course, LEDs. Scroll down for a list of breakouts that are currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython libraries!As well as a labelled landing area for your Pico, there's also a full set of broken out Pico connections, in case you need to attach even more sensors, wires, and circuitry. We've thrown in some rubber feet to keep the base nice and stable and to stop it from scratching your desk, or there are M2.5 mounting holes at the corners so that you can bolt it onto a solid surface if you prefer.The six sturdy black slots are edge connectors that connect the breakouts to the pins on your Pico. There's two slots for SPI breakouts, and four slots for I²C breakouts. Because I²C is a bus, you can use multiple I²C devices at the same time, providing they don't have the same I²C address (we've made sure that all of our breakouts have different addresses, and we print them on the back of the breakouts so they're easy to find).As well as being a handy way to add functionality to your Pico, Breakout Garden is also very useful for prototyping projects without the need for complicated wiring, soldering, or breadboards, and you can grow or change up your setup at any time.Features

Schematic
Struggling to choose which Pico add-on to go for? Pico Omnibus lets you plug in two Pico Packs or Bases at once, or you can use the extra set of male GPIO pins to easily attach other devices, jumper wires or circuitry – very useful for prototyping. We've added useful labels to all three sets of connectors, so you can be sure that all those lovely wires are going to the right places. We've also thrown in some little feet to keep everything solid.Features
One landing area with labelled female headers for attaching to your Pico.

With a 6x20 grid of 2.54 mm spaced holes for easy soldering and labelled Pico pins so you know what's what, Pico Proto is perfect for when you're happy with your breadboard project and want to give it a secure, smart and compact long-term home. Pico Proto doesn't come with any headers attached, so you will need to either solder it directly to your Pico's male header pins (for a permanent, but super slim sandwich) or solder it to some female header.
