## Description

A cutting-edge 60GHz mm-wave radar add-on that brings high-precision sensing to Raspberry Pi 4B and 5.

Designed for developers, makers, and researchers, DreamHAT+ enables gesture recognition, presence detection, and indoor tracking — all without using cameras or microphones. It comes with plug-and-play examples and an open Python API, so you can get started right away.

Whether you're building robotics, smart home devices, or experimenting with signal processing, DreamHAT+ gives your project radar vision with privacy built in.

 **Kit includes**The HAT+ comes with 25mm standoffs (x4), booster header (x1) and screws (x8), so it can be used with a [Raspberry Pi 5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-boards-kits-and-accessories.html) with [Active Cooler](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-active-cooler.html) attached (Raspberry Pi and Active Cooler are **sold separately**).

 **About DreamHAT+ Radar**The 60 GHz mm-wave DreamHAT+ Radar is a cutting-edge Raspberry Pi 4B and 5 add-on, offering advanced ultra-wide band (UWB) frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensing capabilities in a compact and user-friendly package.

The DreamHAT+ is built around the Infineon BGT60TR13C radar MMIC with 4 integrated antennas on the chip (1 transmitting antenna and 3 receiving antennas) to offer directional sensing and motion tracking in a wide range of applications, from robotics and smart home automation to proximity monitoring and gesture recognition.

By leveraging millimetre-wave FMCW radar technology, the DreamHAT+ achieves exceptional precision even in challenging conditions such as low light, smoky, and foggy environments where cameras fail.

 **Features**- **High-Resolution Sensing:** Achieve millimetre-level accuracy to detect objects, gestures, and movement. Perfect for dynamic environments requiring precise sensing.
- **Plug & Play:** Enjoy effortless integration within the Raspberry Pi ecosystem using the included open-source Python library. Also contains power and activity LEDs
- **Real-Time Data Processing:** Real-time data acquisition, processing, and visualisation in fast-changing conditions.
- **Advanced Features:** Leverage configurable sensing ranges up to 15 meters and various modes tailored for specific applications.
- **Ready to Deploy:** Accelerate your prototyping journey with provided sample code, examples, and comprehensive documentation.
- **IoT ready:** Low Power Consumption (~0.5W typical) makes it suitable for multicomponent operation and reduces thermal throttling.
- **Standardised Architecture:** Conforms to the Raspberry Pi HAT+ specification.
