    v1 v2  
    77This PiBot hat allows any Raspberry Pi or compatible to serve as a robot controller.  The footprint is identical to the Pi Zero and mounting holes are included to allow mounting to a Pi Zero with standoffs.  The hat includes:
    88
    9     A switch-mode power supply that will accept +6v to +24v battery input and generate the +5v required by the Pi.  Overcurrent protection is provided (but it is not protected against reverse polarity...maybe next spin...please be careful and observe the polarity markings on the battery connector!)
    10     Active level shifters adapt the +3v3 input/output levels required by the Pi to the +5v input/output levels required by many sensor and controller modules.
    11     A multi-channel PWM generator that will allow the Pi to control up to 5 motors (DC motor controllers or servo motors)
     9    * A switch-mode power supply that will accept +6v to +24v battery input and generate the +5v required by the Pi.  Overcurrent protection is provided (but it is not protected against reverse polarity...maybe next spin...please be careful and observe the polarity markings on the battery connector!)
     10    * Active level shifters adapt the +3v3 input/output levels required by the Pi to the +5v input/output levels required by many sensor and controller modules.
     11    * A multi-channel PWM generator that will allow the Pi to control up to 5 motors (DC motor controllers or servo motors)
    1212
    1313Like the roboRIO, connectors are provided that allow many devices to be connected with a single cable that provides both power and signal connections.  Two level-shifter ICs and two transistors shift voltages between the 3v3 used by the Pi and the 5v required by most of the modules.
    1414Connectors are provided for:
    1515
    16     2x DC motor controller (nominally the L298N dual motor controller but can use any)
    17     9 degrees of freedom (9DOF) sensor: accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer
    18     Ultrasonic rangefinder
    19     3x servo motors
    20     2x wheel encoders (or can be used for general-purpose I/O)
    21     2x digital I/O
     16    * 2x DC motor controller (nominally the L298N dual motor controller but can use any)
     17    * 9 degrees of freedom (9DOF) sensor: accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer
     18    * Ultrasonic rangefinder
     19    * 3x servo motors
     20    * 2x wheel encoders (or can be used for general-purpose I/O)
     21    * 2x digital I/O
    2222
    2323'''PWM'''
     
    3131
    3232    * Black 5-pin EXP expansion
    33 
    3433        * +5v
    3534        * SDA (level shifted to 5v)
