## Description

Rainbow HAT is a feature-packed add-on board for the Raspberry Pi, loaded with sensors, inputs, displays, and LEDs. Use it as a weather station, clock, timer, mood light, or as a hands-on introduction to multiple Pi communication protocols including SPI, I²C, GPIO, and PWM. Originally developed in collaboration with Google's Android Things team, Rainbow HAT also has a comprehensive Python library for use on Raspberry Pi OS. Key Features 7× APA102 RGB LEDs – Individually addressable multicolour LEDs (SPI) 4× 14-Segment Alphanumeric Displays – Green LEDs driven by HT16K33 (I²C) 3× Capacitive Touch Buttons – Atmel QT1070 driver (I²C) BMP280 Sensor – Temperature and pressure (I²C) Piezo Buzzer – PWM-driven for tones and alerts 3× Status LEDs – Blue, green, and red (GPIO) Breakout Pins – Servo, I²C, SPI, and UART (all 3.3 V) Compatibility Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W Note: When using with Raspberry Pi 3B+, use standoffs to ensure the PoE pins do not contact components on the underside of Rainbow HAT. Tip: Temperature readings are affected by heat from the Pi's CPU and onboard LEDs. A suggested correction formula: corrected temp = measured temp − (CPU temp − measured temp) / 2.
