Raspberry Pi’s make for handy li’l computers, but they’re really wonderful when you can connect all sorts of nifty hardware to them: color TFT or E-Ink displays, and sensors are our go-to favorites. Even better is when we make it fast and effortless to wire these up.
With this new EYESPI Pi Beret, there’s no more counting pins or noodling with a breakout board. This slim HAT plugs in and gives you lots of hardware connection options so that many projects become plug-and-play.
Our most recent display breakouts have come with a new feature: an 18-pin “EYE SPI” standard FPC connector with flip-top connector. This is intended to be a sort-of “STEMMA QT for displays” – a way to quickly connect and extend display wiring that uses a lot of SPI pins. In this case, we need a lot of SPI and accessory pins, and we want to be able to use long distances, so we go with an 18-pin 0.5mm pitch FPC.
With such a slim and flexible cable, it’s easy to have displays anywhere without them physically attached to the Pi like in our PiTFTs. Accessorize with big bold colorful displays or power-sipping E-Ink.
