1. INTRODUCTION
What is
means Hardware Attached on Top. If

3B+
) uses
HAT
. But with the smaller board, Raspberry Pi

is introduced, pHAT (partially Hardware Attached on Top) emerged too.
and
have the same objective - to ease the hardware development.
Raspberry Pi aims to bring the power of computing and digital making to the masses. It is
being used by many educators, makers, and also engineers. I am sure you will have similar
constraints when get started from scratch, example:
●
Lack of on board USB to UART communication for your computer to get the ip address
for SSH (headless), or to kick start configuration directly.
●
There is no GPIO status indicator when you write program to control particular pin.
●
Access to GPIO is kind of difficult because there is no label, you need to search online to
get the designated pin.
●
And there is no extra programmable push button for proper shutdown (hardware) :(
We would like to introduce Maker pHAT. It is designed to ease everyone in getting started
with Raspberry Pi in the absence of additional monitor, keyboard or mouse (Headless); and
also prototyping. It helps user to remote access Raspberry Pi through serial with minimum
steps. The on board LEDs, push buttons and buzzer will further assist beginner in interfacing
with sensors, actuator and coding.
“Maker pHAT is designed for anyone who want to get start with
any Raspberry Pi projects”
Maker pHAT comes with the following features:
●
Raspberry Pi Zero Size, stack perfectly on to Pi Zero Series of SBC (Single Board
Computer).
●
Compatible with standard
and small size
/
W
/
WH
.
●
Standard Raspberry Pi GPIO footprint.
●
LED array for selected GPIO pins (GPIO 17, 18, 27, 22, 25, 12, 13, 19).
●
3x on board programmable push buttons (GPIO 21, 19 and 20, need to configure as input
pull up).
●
On board active buzzer (GPIO 26).
●
Proper label for all GPIOs, including SPI, UART, I2C, 5V, 3.3V, and GND.
●
Utilize USB Micro-B socket for 5V input and USB to UART communication.
●
USB serial facilitated by the CH340.
●
Input voltage: USB 5V, from computer, power bank or standard USB adapter.
