Rocket-HAT

A Sensor Hat for a raspberry pi with: an IMU, Altimeter, and 5V power protection

Usage

There are two jumpers on the board; J7 is for powering the hat through the PI. Otherwise, the HAT will get power from the battery while also powering the Pi. J9 is to enable writing to the EEPROM after manufacture. This EEPROM is for matching with the Raspberry Pi foundation's specs.

There is also a solder bridge for the BNO055. This is in case we have an address conflict and need to change the address from 0x28 to 0x29.

Questions

How big is the Rocket HAT PCB?

It measures 72.2 × 61.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Rocket HAT use?

29 parts, built around the CAT24C128LI- and FQP27P06. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Rocket HAT KiCad files?

From the Rose-Rocketry/Rocket-HAT repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RocketHat.kicad_pcb and its schematic RocketHat.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Rocket HAT design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
