Official Arduino Portenta Hat Carrier Development Board For Portenta X8, H7, C33 | Expands Connectivity with Raspberry Pi HAT Compatibility

Description:

The Arduino Portenta Hat Carrier is a robust and resilient carrier board, meticulously engineered to transform your Arduino Portenta board—be it the powerful X8, the versatile H7, or the efficient C33—into a full-fledged industrial single-board computer.

This innovative carrier acts as a crucial bridge, seamlessly connecting the powerful Portenta ecosystem with the vast world of Raspberry Pi Hats and cameras. This union opens up a new realm of possibilities for developing sophisticated commercial and industrial solutions, allowing you to leverage a massive library of existing add-ons and peripherals.

With the Portenta Hat Carrier, you gain immediate access to a comprehensive suite of essential interfaces. It features a CAN bus for robust in-vehicle or industrial networking, Ethernet connectivity (Gigabit with the X8, 100Mbit with H7/C33) for reliable data transfer, a convenient USB-A port, and a microSD card slot for critical data logging or system storage.

Engineered for both rapid prototyping and scalable, real-world deployments, this carrier board significantly expands the capabilities of the Portenta System on Modules. It integrates a 40-pin Raspberry Pi-compatible GPIO header, a dedicated MIPI CSI camera connector for intricate machine vision tasks, and 16 additional analog I/O pins for effortlessly interfacing with a wide range of sensors and actuators.

For developers seeking enhanced control and reliability, the board also includes dedicated JTAG pins for in-depth debugging and a PWM fan connector to actively manage thermal performance under even the most demanding workloads. This makes it an ideal choice for a diverse array of applications, including building automation, machine monitoring, and advanced robotics.
