Chlöe, the Mad Hatter

Made Ahead of Design for HAT Techology Even Released.



Thanks to Ivan at Flyfish Technologies (http://www.flyfish-tech.com/FF32/index.php) for turning my crude PCB design into reality
Thanks to Paul at Pimoroni (http://www.pimoroni.com/) for creating the Gold custom B+ case

That's nice; yellow wire is in this season. What does the add on board do?

Is the Foundation running a competition for the silliest acronym?

It's a hard-wired breakout/prototyping board (compare it with a Humble Pi). The yellow wires and the funky little add-on are an I2C accelerometer/magnetometer.

Looks good.

Oops - Dougie beat me to it...

The add-on board just has an MPU6050 IMU (inertial motion unit) i.e. accelerometer & gyro.

Chlöe is the big sister of Phoebe, my Raspberry Pi Python Autonomous Quadcopter.

I should make it super-clear the PCB is not a HAT - it's missing several critical features; the PCB is simply a breadboard replacement so you can prototype hardware on a breadboard, and once the prototype is stable, easily transfer the layout to a PCB without having to do a custom layout.

I'm not planning on making this a commercial product however - it's purely there for my personal projects.

You should contact the Humble Pi folks, you've made a good version of their product that fits the B+.

Who makes the Humble Pi? Google just reveals retailers not the manufacturer.

http://www.doctormonk.com/2012/08/revie ... yping.html appears to have most details about it.

Original manufacturer is http://shop.ciseco.co.uk/k001-humble-pi/

Thanks - I'd seen the ciseco links but had wrongly assumed they were just resellers.
