Propeller HAT PIM083 Propeller HAT will get you flying in the world of microcontrollers, whether youre just learning the ropes, or using it as an integral part of your home automation project. Weve brought the much-adored Parallax Propeller microcontroller to the Raspberry Pi in an experimentation-friendly HAT format that includes a mini breadboard for prototyping and breaks out a whole array of signals from both Pi and Propeller. Ideal for servo twiddling, robot building, IO expanding, VGA driving, or rockin to classic tunes with sound chip emulators like SIDcog. Parallaxs Object Exchange is packed with code examples and libraries.

From Propeller IDE, the software you need to write SPIN code, to OpenSpin (the compiler), and p1load (the loader). Weve put all of the software for Propeller HAT, including a Python library, together into a GitHub repository. Our Python examples allow you to instantly transform your Propeller HAT into a 30-pin IO expander or PWM driver.
