Can power cape and Raspberry Pi from 5V or 12V input
Uncommitted connection to GPIO pins for external use. Powering down, starting show, changing sequence etc.
Mounting holes to suit Pi 2, Pi 3 and Pi Zero
Real Time Clock (RTC) for show scheduling
Supplied with M2.5 Nylon spacers to separate the Pi and rPi-28D
3 fused power inputs for the 3 pixel outputs. 5V , 12V and/or 24V pixels can be connected

Note: Raspberry Pi & micro SD card are not supplied. Included in photos to show the application.
A Class 10 SD/Micro SD card is recommended and 16-32 GB is the recommended size range.
The rPi-28D+ requires a Raspberry Pi (2, 3, 4 or Zero) running Falcon Player and configured with channels, sequences and channel output settings must be configured.
Note: This hat will not require a licence for use with FPPv6
UNLESS.. You configure for 4 WS2811 ports instead (requires FPP6). See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcj4Uqi9A9c
