PIMORONI Inventor HAT Mini for Raspberry Pi
Versatile Raspberry Pi HAT with motor, servo & audio drivers. Features Neopixels, Python library & expandable design for creative projects.
The PIMORONI Inventor HAT Mini is a versatile expansion board that brings motor, servo, and audio control to your Raspberry Pi projects, powering a vast range of creative mechanical applications. Its intelligent design centres on a dedicated Nuvoton microcontroller (MS51TC0AE) that handles most onboard functions, leaving your Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins free to connect other accessories via the convenient passthrough header.
This feature-packed board includes a DRV8833 Dual H-Bridge motor driver with 6-pin JST-SH connectors for motors with encoders, plus an alternative socket for standard 2-pin motors. For audio, it integrates a MAX98357 3.2W I2S mono amplifier with a Picoblade-compatible speaker connector. Interactive elements are covered with a physical user button and eight vibrant, addressable RGB Neopixels.
Key Features & Specifications
- Comprehensive Control: Supports up to four 3-pin hobby servos and includes four extra ADC-capable GPIO pins for connecting additional sensors, buttons, or LEDs.
- Expandable Design: The passthrough header allows for stacking other HATs or boards, while pre-soldered headers and a Qw/ST connector simplify attaching breakouts.
- Ready to Code: A fully featured Python library with comprehensive examples is provided, enabling you to start building immediately.
- Universal Compatibility: The mini HAT format is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a 40-pin GPIO header.
With its robust set of features and plug-and-play design, the Inventor HAT Mini is the perfect foundation for robotics, interactive art, automated systems, and any project requiring precise motor control, sound, and light.
