“The quality of the British-made PCBs is impressive, much better than the Chinese ones, just like in the old days! If you are not afraid of soldering, or wire wrap, these Hats are perfect for developing very personal projects, very quickly.”
“I've used a lot of these in my Pi projects. I use a stacking header so I can put it between my Pi and Hat. I'll mount a RTC on it and maybe some male headers so I can plug other sensor boards etc in with female to female jumper wires. Its a great way to get access to your GPIO pins and still put a Hat on your Pi.”
“Great board for turning a breadboard project into something more permanent. Easy to use and solder to. I used it to wire up a 433mhz transmitter to remote control some mains switches, worked exactly as it did in the breadboard prototype.”
“This board is fantastic - it has a nice number of slots for components, and most GPIO pins broken out. I used one in a recent robotics project, and it's perfect!
I purchased the version with EEPROM, but there's no readily available beginners tutorial for it, so I never used it. Having something like this available would be fantastic. It would be nice if the GPIO pins were arranged in an ascending order - they're a little random at the moment (although I can see why they did it - it would be a nightmare to order them all and deal with the traces). Another great improvement would be provision to easily add external power lines. I had to cut the traces, as I needed to drive servos with it and didn't want to draw all the current through the Pi. Also, the header is really hard to get on straight, so it would be helpful if that came already done.
All the above are minor issues though - it's high quality, looks great and works even better!”
