Adeept Robot HAT for Raspberry Pi is designed for DIY projects and educational needs

The Adeept Robot HAT V3.0 is a motor and sensor driver HAT that supports Raspberry Pi 5, Pi 4, and Pi 3 models. The board features a bunch of headers that give access to sensor and motor controllers including sixteen servo motor ports, a three-channel line tracking sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, IR receivers, WS2812 RGB LEDs, and more. Additionally, the board features an integrated 8.4V battery charger with a Type-C port for charging. All these features make it easy to build DIY robotics and smart car projects with this HAT.

Previously we have written about similar educational robot kits including the Arduino Alvik educational robot, the XGO-Rider self-balancing robot, the Waveshare UGV Rover, SunFounder GalaxyRVR, and much more. Feel free to check that out if you are interested in those topics.

Adeept Robot HAT for Raspberry Pi Board Specifications

For simplicity, Adeept provides a full interface diagram of the control board which makes the assembly process very easy. However, the board lacks all the specifications for the various ICs that are used throughout the board. The diagram showcased only PCA9685 which is a 16-channel servo motor driver IC.

After searching for a little bit I found a GitHub repo containing some Python code for Adeept RaspTank built around the HAT. While searching I also found an Amazon listing for the Adeept RaspTank Smart Robot Kit which costs around $79.99. Additionally, I found the Adeept PiCar-B Mars Rover Smart Car Kit on Amazon which also uses the Adeept Robot HAT as the main driver. The Adeept RaspTank and the Adeept PiCar-B Mars Rover are also available on Aliexpress where they sell for around $96 and $87 respectively.

The Adeept Robot HAT V3.0 itself can also be purchased from Aliexpress for $29.99 or on Adeept’s Tindie store for $28.49, but not the Tindie price does not include shipping.
