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.
The Build HAT is compatible with the most recent generation of LEGO® Technic™ motors, and with sensors included in the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime portfolio.
Features:
- Controls up to 4 motors and sensors
- Powers the Raspberry Pi (when used with a suitable external PSU)
- Easy to use from Python on the Raspberry Pi
The Build HAT is the second Raspberry Pi product, after Raspberry Pi Pico, to be powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 micro-controller.
Requires an external power supply: does not operate on its own. The Raspberry Pi Build HAT Power Supply is recommended.
