The Explorer HAT and Explorer HAT Pro are the perfect prototyping side-kicks for your Raspberry Pi!
We've added a heap of useful input and output options that will take your projects to the next level. Great for driving motors, using analog sensors, interfacing with 5V systems, and touch (even fruit based!) interfaces.
It's compatible with Raspberry Pi 2, Pi 3, B+, and A+ and comes fully assembled.
Features:
- Four buffered 5V tolerant inputs
- Four powered 5V outputs (up to 500mA!)
- Four capacitive touch pads
- Four capacitive crocodile clip pads
- Four coloured LEDs
- PRO ONLY Four analog inputs
- PRO ONLY Two H-bridge motor drivers
- PRO ONLY A heap of useful (unprotected) 3v3 goodies from the GPIO
- A mini breadboard on top!
5V tolerant inputs - Hook up your Pi to accept input from 5V systems (like Arduino Uno/Leonardo or 5V Trinkets). We've used a 5-channel buffer that will accept anything from 2V-5V as logic high.
5V powered ouputs - The onboard darlington array can supply up to 500mA per channel (but you'll be limited to driving around 1A total from the board). Ideal for stepper motors, solenoids, and relays.
Eight capacitive inputs - Four along the front edge for touch input (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) and four up the side for attaching crocodile clips to objects (such as fruit, or tin foil) for experimentation!
Four coloured LEDs - Independently controllable LEDs (red, green, blue, and yellow) that make great status indicators.
Four analog inputs (pro only) - A tidy way to integrate analog signals into your project.
Two H-Bridge motor drivers (pro only) - Drive two 5V motors bidirectionally with up to 200mA per channel. Ideal with our micro-metal gear-motors to create the perfect little buggy! You can even soft-PWM for full speed control.

Adafruit Perma-Proto HAT for Pi Mini Kit
Design your own Pi HAT, attach custom circuitry and otherwise dress your Pi 3, 2, A+ or B+ with this jaunty prototyping HAT kit.
- It has a grid of 0.1" prototyping soldering holes for attaching chips, resistors, LED, potentiometers and more.
- The holes are connected underneath with traces to mimic the solderless breadboards you're familiar with.
- There are also long power strips for +3V, +5V and Ground connections to the Pi.
- Near the top we break out nearly every pin you could want to connect to the Pi (#26 didn't quite make the cut).
This is just the basic version of our Perma-Proto HAT. It comes with a printed circuit board and a single 2x20 GPIO Header for Raspberry Pi to put your Perma-Proto on top of your Raspberry Pi (like a nice little hat...)
Example uses:
Weather station
reef-pi
PLEASE NOTE: RASPBERRY PI IS NOT INCLUDED
The ModMyPi Paddle Breakout HAT enables you to bring the Raspberry Pi B+/2/3 GPIO out from your Raspberry Pi to 'push wire' paddle terminal points in the form of a neat HAT! This kit requires absolutely no soldering, but will allow you to jump straight from the Pi to your project or breadboard without the use of a cobbler kit. All terminals are labelled on the PCB silkscreen, and have been re-ordered in a simple to use format.
The 'push wire' terminals can be utilised with solid core wire stripped to around 10mm of exposed copper.
The ModMyPi Paddle Breakout HAT Features:
- Fully Labelled Silkscreen for Easy Identification
- Push Wire Terminals for Quick & Easy Connections
- Pre-assembled HAT - No Soldering Required
- Includes 40 Pin HAT Header - Plug & Play
- Includes M2.5 Stand-Off's for Mounting
- Manufactured in the UK!

This is the SparkFun DIY RJ11 Breakout, a simple breakout board for the common 6-pin RJ11 connector as used on some of the weather station components. These little boards can easily fit the included RJ11 6-Pin Connector to work with common telephone cables etc. Each board features standard B/R/Y/G (Black/Red/Yellow/Green) labels on the top of the board to match a standard telephone wire. Additionally, each board has pin numbers on the back side that match with the pins on the connector.
This board can be used in 3 ways:
- Mount the header on the top of the board to use jumpers cables
- Mount the header on the bottom of the board to use it on a breadboard
- Directly solder jumper cables on the board
Can be used with the following weather station components:
