Raspberry Pi pHAT Maker - Simplifying Raspberry Pi for Education

When trying to learn how to use and program electronics with Raspberry Pi, learners – whether in a classroom setting or at home – face some typical problems. First, you need access to a keyboard and monitor. Second, there’s the sometimes tricky business of attempting to create electronic circuits from separate components without getting it wrong and the possibility of ‘magic smoke.’ Then, if your project doesn’t work, it’s hard to tell whether it’s because your wiring or code isn’t right, or maybe both. This isn’t helped by the difficulty of identifying the correct GPIO pins on Raspberry Pi, as they’re unlabelled. Cytron’s Maker pHAT attempts to solve these issues and make it a lot simpler to get started with physical computing on Raspberry Pi. The cool-looking purple PCB has some common components already on board and connected to certain GPIO pins. Along with three small push-buttons, there’s an active buzzer and eight tiny LEDs – we were slightly disappointed that they’re all blue and not a range of colors. A nice touch is the inclusion of a fully labeled, 24-pin breakout header for connecting external components when you’re done playing with the onboard ones.
