4tronix have just announced the availability of a board that will allow you to use\u00a0your Raspberry Pi’s spare GPIO pins when using a HAT. For a while, several boards, such as the SenseHAT<\/a>, have hogged the entire GPIO when they’re just using a few pins. Now, you can get access to the rest of the pins. The board, called an ‘intercept’ costs just \u00a33.75+VAT and shipping from the 4tronix website<\/a>. It’s an ingenious solution to the problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
