RasPiO FullpHAT use 2 phats on pi

In April this year I designed a HAT-sized PCB that would allow two pHATs to fit on one Pi. I was thinking it might make a good “over the summer” KickStarter campaign.

But events conspired against me. I had trouble tracking down a source of the right stacking headers and I needed a break over the summer. So I sat on it until recently. Then, a couple of weeks ago I found a suitable header and now we’re back on track.

The header on the left is exactly the right size

What no KickStarter?

I’ve decided to crowdfund this project by taking pre-orders at the new RasPiO Shop. The main reason for this is that the process is more streamlined. Setting up, running and shipping a KickStarter is quite a lengthy process, which isn’t suitable for all projects. This is a simple project that lends itself beautifully to an experimental new approach. And you know me – I love trying out new things.

So this is going to be a short 7-day campaign because I want to get on with making and shipping this product out to you. So, please take a look at the project page over at https://shop.rasp.io/products/fullphat

Or, if you wish, you can place a pre-order directly from this page (but there is a lot more information about offers, early-birds and a project ‘ticker’ here)
