How The Challenger Kit Will Be Used
This is my first time using Raspberry Pi so it will be quite a challenge, but I'm excited to learn!
Raspberry Pi 4 2GB
PIM487 (Automation HAT Mini)
PIM486 (Enviro HAT for Raspberry Pi)
PIM300 (PICO HAT Hacker)
When I received the challenger kit, I was ready to start tinkering, but then I realized I needed more parts. Fellow challenger hugohu helped me determine what parts to get and where to buy from.
As the other parts were coming in, I was thinking how I would use the HATs. I was hoping to use both, but there was one problem. Only one HAT at a time fits directly on the Raspberry Pi! But then I came across Aquaponics Box: #2 - Hacking the HATs (both HATs from the challenger kit on single RPi). Thank you dules for teaching others how to use both HATs on one Raspberry Pi.
In the next blog, I'll showcase my enclosure prototype! Until then, keep learning and have fun! Click the arrow to navigate to the next blog.
