{"title":"Inventor HAT Mini","handle":"inventor-hat-mini","url":"/products/inventor-hat-mini","description":"\n  Introducing the Inventor HAT Mini, a versatile motor, servo, and audio driver add-on board designed for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. With this compact HAT, you can bring your mechanical inventions, creations, and contraptions to life!\n\n\nTransform your Raspberry Pi into a robot, prop, kinetic sculpture, creepy automaton, or any other exciting moving creation. The Inventor HAT Mini makes it easy to drive motors with encoders, connect up to four servos, and add a speaker for sound effects.\n\n\nExpandability is a key feature, with a pass-through header for stacking with other boards and four additional ADC-capable GPIO pins. These pins allow you to attach analog or digital sensors, buttons, LEDs, or other accessories. The HAT also includes 8 addressable RGB LEDs (Neopixels) for visual indicators.\n\n\nTo ensure a quick and hassle-free start, the Inventor HAT Mini comes with pre-soldered pin headers, a Qw/ST connector for breakout compatibility, and a fully featured Python library with helpful examples. Power users will appreciate the unpopulated external power input, enabling the use of higher voltage motors and servos (up to 10V).\n\n\nKey Features:\n\n\nNuvoton microcontroller (MS51TC0AE) with built-in 16-bit PWM and 12-bit Analog to Digital Converter.\nHeader pins for connecting 3-pin hobby servos and GPIO (ADC capable).\nDual H-Bridge motor driver (DRV8833) with JST-SH connectors for motors with encoders.\nMAX98357 3.2W I2S mono amplifier and 2-pin connector for attaching a speaker.\n8 addressable RGB LEDs/Neopixels for visual indicators.\nUser button for interaction.\nQw/ST connector for attaching breakouts.\nPass-through 40-pin header for stacking with other HATs.\nFully assembled - no soldering required.\nPython library for easy programming.\n\n\nCompatibility:\n\n\nCompatible with all Raspberry Pi computers with a 40-pin header.\nEspecially neat fit on Raspberry Pi Zero boards.\n\n\nNotes:\n\n\nMeasurements: 65mm x 30.5mm x 15.5mm (L x W x H, approx).\nExtra broken-out headers for advanced users (unpopulated, soldering required).\nMultiple power options for flexibility, including external power via a screw terminal block.\nDirection indicators and motor features can be customized through back trace cutting.\n\n\n","vendor":"Little Bird","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":1276,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PR-PIM672","price":67.86,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":1,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
