DESCRIPTION

RETIRED PRODUCT – We’ve stopped stocking this product or it has been retired by the manufacturer and is no longer for sale. This page remains available for its resources and as a source of potential interest.

Turn your Raspberry Pi into a retro games console! Picade X HAT includes joystick and button inputs, a 3W I2S DAC/amplifier, and soft power switch. Nice!

Picade X HAT, the 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.

FEATURES

I2S audio DAC with 3W amplifier (mono) and push-fit terminals
Safe power on/off system with tactile power button and LED
Micro-USB connector for power (back-powers your Pi)
4-way digital joystick inputs
6x player button inputs
4x utility button inputs
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

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 to 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.
