PiHat Mode

MotorGo as a PiHat

🤖

Applies to Plink, Axis

The MotorGo Plink and Core can be configured as a PiHat for use with any Raspberry Pi with a 40 pin header. In this configuration, the MotorGo Plink 1 can be controlled using the Python API.

This page should serve as an introduction of sorts to this configuration. Details to include could be:

  • Features of the MotorGo Plink 1 in PiHat mode
  • Why you would want to use the MotorGo Plink 1 as a PiHat vs in standalone mode
  • Link to using ROS with Plink PiHat

This callout might need a better home. I’m not sure where it should go, maybe this is the right page, if we add more info here

⚠️

Heatsinks on the Raspberry Pi may short connectors on the bottom of the MotorGo Plink 1. Please use longer standoffs and a header spacer to prevent this.
