It connects to any computer (including the Pi) via USB cable and has a full 40-pin GPIO header. It allows you to use selected\u00a0Raspberry Pi add-on boards and basic electronic components by programming it via Python from the host computer. It&#8217;s ideal if you want to do things &#8216;The Pi Way&#8217; and don&#8217;t happen to have a Raspberry Pi itself, and also gives you the ability, for example, to use two HATs at the same time &#8211; one on the Pi&#8217;s 40-pin header, one on the RTK.GPIO. It&#8217;s also a natural &#8216;port expander&#8217; &#8211; you can light up an <strong>awful<\/strong> lot of LEDs!
