From Turin, Italy, we have received a very interesting press release, which has to do with open source hardware, specifically with Arduino. And it has been announced Portenta HAT Carrier, a new hat that joins the Arduino PRO range of high-performance devices designed to transform the Portentoso X8 into an industrial SBC compatible with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem.
Portenta HAT Carrier is not only Compatible with the Portentoso X8, it is also compatible with Portenta H7 and Portenta C33. Therefore, it allows easy expansion of any Portenta module with multiple peripherals, including the official Raspberry Pi HATs with the 40-pin model B header, as well as an Ethernet connection, microSD slot and USB port.
With these new element of Arduino PRO you can create prototypes and scale these. In addition, it has dedicated JTAG pins for quick debugging of projects, integrated CAN transceiver for industrial applications, 8 additional analog I/Os, and PWM connector for the fan to cool this board. Portenta HAT Carrier also features interfaces designed for professional customers using the famous Raspberry Pi Foundation SBC.
“Portena Hat Carrier provides a unique bridge between Arduino and Raspberry Pi® ecosystems, offering professionals a modular platform for prototyping for complete industrial applications”
Massimo Banzi, co-founder, president and CMO of Arduino.
Being compatible with a multitude of shadows for Raspberry Pi, it allows us to offer a complete experience for creating a multitude of Linux-based projects. On the other hand, Portenta HAT Carrier is not only designed for particular projects, but for industrial applicationss, such as robot movement control, vision systems to detect anomalies or classify manufactured parts, vehicle monitoring, etc.
If you are interested in this Arduino PRO Portenta HAT Carrier, you should know that it is Available to order now from the Arduino Store, and also from major official Arduino distributors. Its price is €39...
