Raspberry Pi Build HAT

Raspberry Pi Build HAT

The Raspberry Pi Build HAT, in collaboration with LEGO® Education, is a new add-on board for your Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi Build HAT combines the power of Raspberry Pi computing with LEGO® hands-on learning to enable a fun and creative learning experience for students, teachers, and makers.

Connecting to the 40-pin GPIO header, it is compatible with the most recent generation of LEGO® Technic™ motors, and the sensors included in the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime portfolio. The LEGO® Maker Plate, available separately from LEGO® retailers, allows users to easily attach Raspberry Pi computers to the LEGO® building system.

Specification:

  • Controls up to 4 motors and sensors
  • Easy to use from Python on the Raspberry Pi
  • Powers the Raspberry Pi (when used with a suitable external PSU)

The Build HAT is the second Raspberry Pi product, after Raspberry Pi Pico, to be powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller.


Also released is the new power supply, designed for use with the Raspberry Pi Build HAT.

The 48W (8V DC, 6A) Power Supply has:

  • Input: 110-240V AC
  • Output: 8V DC, 6A
