Use it as a weather station, a clock, a timer or stopwatch, a mood light, or endless other things. ## Pricing - **Price:** $27.09 (inc GST) — $24.63 AUD, exc GST ## Availability & dispatch - In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney). - We can dispatch 2 today; more stock is typically available with a 10–14 day lead time. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE04635:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE04635:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The Rainbow HAT from Pimironi, has a buffet of sensors, inputs and displays to explore Android Things™. Use it as a weather station, a clock, a timer or stopwatch, a mood light, or endless other things. Pimironi worked with the Android Things team at Google to create this great add-on board that features displays, sensors, sound, and lots of LEDs! It's the perfect introduction to developing Android Things applications on the Raspberry Pi. Rainbow HAT also has a full [Python API for use on Raspbian](https://github.com/pimoroni/rainbow-hat) just like all of our other HATs that you know and love! \****Raspberry Pi not included***\* ### Rainbow HAT features - Seven APA102 multicolour LEDs - Four 14-segment alphanumeric displays (green LEDs) - HT16K33 display driver chip - Three capacitive touch buttons - Atmel QT1070 capacitive touch driver chip - Blue, green and red LEDs - BMP280 temperature and pressure sensor - Piezo buzzer - Breakout pins for servo, I2C, SPI, and UART (all 3v3) - The board is designed specifically to show off the wide range of protocols available on the Raspberry Pi, including SPI (the APA102 LEDs), I2C (the BMP280 sensor and 14-segment displays), GPIO (the capacitive touch buttons and LEDs), and PWM (the piezo buzzer). ### Using Android Things? For information on how to get started with Android Things and Rainbow HAT [visit the official developer site](https://developers.android.com/things) for Android Things. To put the [latest Android Things image](https://developer.android.com/things/preview/download.html) on your SD card, see the instructions here: . You can find the driver and samples published in the official GitHub organisation: ### Using Raspbian? Pimironi have also put together a Python library to make it a breeze to use. You can find it here: ### Notes Temperature readings are affected by heat radiated from your Pi’s CPU and the onboard LEDs; calibration can help to correct temperature readings. bstrobl, on the [Raspberry Pi forums](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=111457), suggests to use the formula: *corrected temp. = measured temp. - (CPU temp. - measured temp.)* ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/c/e/ce04636-2_1.png)
