Rainbow HAT has multiple sensors, inputs and displays to explore Android Things. Use it as a weather station, clock, timer or stopwatch, mood light or countless other things.
We worked with Google's Android Things team to create this great add-on board that includes displays, sensors, sound and lots of LEDs! It's the perfect introduction to Android Things app development at Raspberry Pi.
Rainbow HAT also has a full Python API to use on Raspbian like all our other HATs you know and love!
MagPi stated that "Rainbow HAT has an impressive number of features crammed in, making it useful for all sorts of projects" in their four-star review.
Rainbow HAT Features:
- Seven multi-color APA102 LEDs
- Four 14-segment alphanumeric displays (green LEDs)
- HT16K33 display driver chip
- Three capacitive touch buttons
- Atmel QT1070 capacitive touch driver chip
- Blue, green and red LEDs
- BMP280 temperature and pressure sensor
- Piezo buzzer
- Bypass pins for servo, I2C, SPI and UART (all 3v3)
- Rainbow HAT pinout
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B +, 3, 2, B +, A +, Zero and Zero W
- Python library
- The board is designed specifically to show the wide range of protocols available on the Raspberry Pi, including SPI (the APA102 LEDs), I2C (the BMP280 sensor and 14-segment displays), GPIO (the capacitive touch buttons and LEDs), and PWM (the piezo buzzer).
Note that the SPI labels are reversed on Rainbow HAT from 2017 and earlier. From top to bottom, they should be CE1, SCL, MISO, MOSI.
Note that if you are using Rainbow HAT with a Raspberry Pi 3B +, you will need to use a set of spacers to ensure that the new PoE pins do not contact the components below Rainbow HAT.
