We’re doffing our Mini Black HAT Hack3r for the evening because it’s showtime for Pimoroni’s pHAT Stack! This expansive breakout PCB offers 6 sets of 2×20 pin headers – one for connecting to your Pi and the other 5 for a plethora of HATs, pHATs or bonnets.
The combinations are endless… It’s perfect for your projects, displaying temperatures, times, etc. and becomes really useful when combined with other boards like the OLED Bonnet or Inky pHAT plus maybe an Enviro pHAT to display the sensor values.
Before you cobble your set-up, we recommend checking that your boards are all compatible with each other. Since the Raspberry Pi has a limited number of GPIO pins, there’s a strong chance your pins may clash. Take a looksie at Pinout’s cool experimental Raspberry Pi pinout configurator, and of course check the specification sheets, pinouts or datasheets for all your fancy add-ons.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
