RoboHAT Robot Controller for Raspberry Pi [Discontinued]

RoboHAT is a complete robotics controller for your Raspberry Pi based mobile robot, able to control 2 DC motors with a ton of extra features! The board is supplied fully assembled - no soldering is required.

Compatability

• Fits all 40-pin models of the Raspberry Pi
• The RoboHAT fits the 3B+ and 4B models of Pi, but you should use 10mm spacers to keep it away from the POE pins. 10mm spacers now included with every RoboHat!

Features

• Fully HAT specification compliant
• 5V switching regulator to safely power the robot and the Pi from 7V to 10V batteries
• LED indication of 5V power status
• High efficiency, dual H-Bridge driver to drive 2 DC motors (or 2 sets of 2 if using paired motors on each side of the robot)
• 6, 5V level shifted GPIO inputs with GVS 3-pin connectors (Ground, Volts, Signal)
• 4, 5V level shifted GPIO outputs with GVS 3-pin connectors
• 4-pin male header to directly plug in an Ultrasonic distance sensor. Only uses a single pin on the Raspberry Pi GPIO
• Optional separate power for motors (up to 11V and 1.5A per motor)
• The output connectors can be used directly to drive servos
• I2C breakout connector (standard 4tronix I2C port)
• Includes 2 mounting pillars and screws so it can be securely mounted to your Raspberry Pi
• All of this is directly supported in Scratch GPIO 4 onwards
• Python library module and examples freely available
