RS485 RS232 HAT for Raspberry Pi

Our wonderful world of Electronics would not exist without efficient communication between components. For your computer screen to flicker on the screensaver, it needs to connect and process the information that your CPU is telling it. Makers who enjoy tinkering with different communication techniques will love Raspberry Pi’s open-ended designs. Pi HATs are available to give us Makers every opportunity for customising our projects. This RS485 RS232 HAT for Raspberry Pi does just that with an isolated expansion board with DB9 male connector.

The RS485 RS232 HAT for Raspberry Pi is designed for enhancing your project with an isolated RS485 and RS232 expansion board. The standard Pi 40-pin GPIO extension header easily installs Raspberry Pi series boards and 3mm holes match the Pi 4 model perfectly. This HAT is equipped with breakout SPI control pins for connecting with Arduino or other host control boards as well. The HAT’s most defining feature is the prominent male DB9 connector, which is commonly used for connection display monitors.

Raspberry Pi boards are ultra mini-computers and extension boards like this RS485 RS232 HAT further increase their functionality. Furthermore, onboard TVS and resettable fuses protect the RS485 RS232 HAT and your Pi from unwanted damage. The RS485 RS232 HAT for Raspberry Pi adds another layer of communication to your project with in-built transceivers for your to tinker with.
