– IR transmitter (IR LED)
– IR receiver (IR photo sensor)
– Relay
– Piezoelectric speaker (buzzer)
– Button
– RGB LED
– Slot for modular 16×2 LCD character display
– Slots for up to 5 plug and play I2C sensors for temperature, barometric pressure, humidity and light
– UART (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) pins for debugging
Getting started with RabbitMax Flex is super easy. No soldering is required. You can assemble the kit with your bare hands and start using it immediately on Raspbian, the most popular GNU/Linux distribution for Raspberry Pi. Comprehensive user’s manual is provided. Out of the box it supports sensors for temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and light. Free and open source examples written in Python and C are available in GitHub.
Yes, RabbitMax Flex Raspberry Pi HAT is suitable for you if you are an existing Raspberry Pi owner interested in home automation, software development and Internet of Things (IoT). The board is appropriate for embedded programming enthusiasts, GNU/Linux gadget fans, students as well as web and mobile app developers.
The main usage of the board is embedded software development without the urge of understanding perfectly the hardware. RabbitMax Flex is a general purpose Raspberry Pi HAT. It is useful for building Do It Yourself (DIY) projects like: weather station, desk assistant or just rapid prototyping of Internet of Things (IoT).
