Pimoroni (Pim351 Picade X HAT

Picade X HAT, our latest version, has all the same great features as the original Picade HAT but now has no-fuss female Dupont connectors to hook up your joystick and buttons. Simply pop Picade X HAT onto your Pi, plug your Pi power supply into the micro-USB connector on the HAT (it back-powers your Pi through the GPIO, so no need for a separate power supply), wire up your controls, and install our driver! It's ideal for your own DIY arcade cabinet builds, or for interfaces that need big, colourful buttons and sound. We'd recommend also picking up one of our new Picade wiring looms to go with Picade X HAT. It has all the cables you'll need to connect up buttons and a joystick (with 5-pin connector) to Picade X HAT. The I2S DAC blends both channels of digital audio from the Raspberry Pi into a single mono output. This is then passed through a 3W amplifier to power a connected speaker. The board also features a soft power switch that allows you turn your Pi on and off safely without risk of SD card corruption. Tap the connected button to start up, and press and hold it for 3 seconds to fully shutdown and disconnect power. 1x soft power switch input 1x power LED output Breakout pins for power, I2C, and 2 additional buttons Picade HAT pinout Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
