Raspberry Pi Build HAT
Overview
The SC0622 (Build HAT) is an add-on board for Raspberry Pi that enables integration with LEGO Technic motors and sensors from the SPIKE and MINDSTORMS portfolios. It features an onboard RP2040 microcontroller to manage low-level control of up to four LEGO Power Functions 2 (LPF2) devices, offloading real-time tasks from the host processor.
Why Choose This Part
The board provides four LPF2 connectors, allowing for simultaneous control of multiple motors and sensors while supplying power to the Raspberry Pi from an external 8V DC source. It includes integrated power management and supports various low-power modes including sleep, standby, and shutdown to optimize energy use in mobile projects.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Attach the Build HAT to the 40-pin GPIO header of a Raspberry Pi and connect an external 8V power supply to the barrel jack. Use the official 'buildhat' Python library to interface with connected LEGO hardware via the UART communication channel.
