Raspberry Pi Build Hat Features

Supports motors and sensors included in the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Portfolio, along with those from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robot Inventor kit and most other LEGO devices that use an LPF2 connector
Fits any Raspberry Pi computer with a 40-pin GPIO header (including, with the addition of a ribbon cable or other extension device, Raspberry Pi 400)
Specially developed Python library supports students and makers to create and learn
DC power connector: 2.1mm barrel jack, centre positive
Powers your Raspberry Pi computer (except Raspberry Pi 400) and connected LEGO Technic devices when used with an external 8V ±10% DC power source, such as the Raspberry Pi Build HAT Power Supply, or a 7.5V battery pack
Onboard Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller manages low-level control of LEGO Technic devices
The Build HAT is the second Raspberry Pi product, after Raspberry Pi Pico, to be powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller.

LEGO Technic MINDSTORMS and SPIKE Connectivity

The LEGO Education SPIKE Portfolio features a wide variety of sensors and motors that you can control with the Build HAT Python library on your Raspberry Pi.

Explore the world around you with sensors to detect distance, force, and colour, and choose from a variety of motor sizes to suit any build.

The Build HAT also supports motors and sensors from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robot Inventor kit, as well as most other LEGO devices that use an LPF2 connector.

Compatible with LEGO SPIKE Education sets.
