The Explorer pHAT is a compact prototyping board for Raspberry Pi, packed with analogue inputs, motor drivers, buffered 5 V inputs, and powered outputs. Designed to match the Raspberry Pi Zero form factor but compatible with all 40-pin GPIO Raspberry Pi models (Zero, 2, 3, B+, A+).

Key Features

• 4 Analogue Inputs – Read analogue sensors directly on your Pi
• 2 H-Bridge Motor Drivers – Drive two 5 V motors bidirectionally at up to 200 mA per channel with PWM speed control
• 4 Buffered 5 V Inputs – Accept 2–5 V logic signals from Arduino and other 5 V systems
• 4 Powered 5 V Outputs – Darlington array supplying up to 500 mA per channel (~1 A total) for stepper motors, solenoids, and relays
• Python Library – Full API with documentation and examples
