What\u2019s the story Rory?<\/b><\/p>\n

Today I want to show some Christmas project ideas using Hats. Yes, another blog about Raspberry PI.<\/p>\n

Thanks to their GPIO headers, most Pi computers can connect to devices called HATs, which stands for Hardware Attached on Top.<\/p>\n

Theses are the Hats that I have and they came from ThePiHut<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this hat comes in 3 different sets, one just with white LEDs, one with just red LEDs and one with mixed white and red LEDs and you can find the Pre-soldered version as well.
\nFrom the Python API<\/a> you can get the GPIO numbers to use with PI4j<\/p>\n

The SnowPi is a discontinued item, but you can find it in ThePiHut.

During 2020 there was another successful Kickstarter project for the SnowPi RGB. This is a new version of the Snowman. There is no soldering required and it now has color NeoPixels instead of single color LEDs. <\/p>\n
