Just what I needed for my STS-Pi robot kit. Ordering as easy as ever from Pimoroni, and delivered next day. I now have a robot running round my kitchen floor, (usually) managing to avoid obstacles.

This is an excellent pHAT for the RPi Zero. I've been using it as a motor controller for the Zumo Chassis and works flawlessly with little difficulty using code from the internet. It seems to be identical to the Explorer HAT Pro just in a smaller form factor, hence why it shares a GitHub with the Explorer Hat. The only issue there doesn't seem to be examples within that git for the motor drivers. Not that it's a major problem as there's plenty other resources on the web. All in all a great product that extends the functionality of the Pi greatly in a small form factor.

Got so good at soldering (see my review of Antex Replacement bits) that I soldered the 40 pin female header in under 5 minutes but on the wrong side :DD Still planning on testing this with male headers and breadboards though!

Great product as always! Super handy and compact for building a small raspberry pi zero robot!

How about making a good quick start guide that lists the library commands and shows some examples of analog and digital IO, motors, etc. The documentation is lagging compared to other Pi hats.
