## Description

The Adafruit Arcade Bonnet makes it easy to build retro gaming projects with a Raspberry Pi. It's sized to match the Pi Zero for compact builds, but works with any Pi that has a 2×20 header (Pi Zero, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi B+, etc.). The bonnet manages all buttons and switches through an I2C GPIO expander with interrupt output, freeing up the Pi's GPIO pins for other accessories like a PiTFT display. A 3W digital speaker amplifier provides audio output even when using displays without built-in sound. Key Features 6× JST Button Sockets – Plug in arcade buttons using quick-connect wires Digital Joystick Header – For clicky switched-type arcade joysticks Analog Joystick Support – Header and converter for potentiometer-based joysticks and thumbsticks 3W Speaker Output – Drives 4–8 ohm speakers, works even on Pis without a headphone jack I2C GPIO Expander – All switches managed via I2C with interrupt, freeing up Pi GPIO Pi Zero Sized – Compact footprint for small builds Ideal For Retro arcade console builds (desktop or stand-up) Portable gaming handhelds Custom game controllers Emulation station projects Package Contents 1× Adafruit Arcade Bonnet PCB 1× Header strip Important: Raspberry Pi, arcade buttons, joysticks, speaker, display and quick-connect wires are not included and must be purchased separately. Soldering is required to attach headers. The terminal block colour may vary (blue or black).
