Inventor HAT Mini for Raspberry Pi - PiMoroni PIM672

Inventor HAT Mini is a versatile add-on that opens up a wide range of possibilities for Raspberry Pi in the field of robotics and creating interactive projects. The overlay allows you to connect two motors, four servomechanisms and a loudspeaker . The heart of Inventor HAT Mini is the Nuvoton MS51TC0AE microcontroller. The DRV8833 system is responsible for controlling the motors, and the sound is handled by the MAX98357 amplifier. In addition, the board has 8 addressable RGB Neopixels diodes, a programmable button, a STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector and a 40-pin GPIO loop-through connector, thanks to which the module can be expanded with various sensors , buttons or LEDs .
