Previously Pmods were used with FPGA development boards and a small selection of microcontroller development kits.<\/p>\n<p>The DesignSpark Pmod adapter can be used with a wide selection of Raspberry Pi models including the: Model A+, Model B+, Pi 2 B, Pi 3 B, and the Zero and Zero W versions. It also allows users to interface with a multitude of Digilent Pmods that are also available from <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/rs-components-adds-cressalls-range-of-resistors-and-portable-load-bank-units\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RS<\/a><\/span>, such as: the PmodAD1 two-channel 12-bit ADC module; the PmodISNS20\u00a0high-accuracy Hall Effect current sensor; or the PmodOLEDrgb, an organic RGB LED module with a 96&#215;64 pixel display and 16-bit colour resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Specifications of the adapter include: 40-pin Raspberry Pi GPIO (General-Purpose Input\/Output) header, with 26 3.3V-compatible GPIOs; support for SPI, I2C and UART connections; a 16mA current limit for all PMOD GPIOs; and a 5V barrel jack for external power.<\/p>\n<p>The DesignSpark Pmod HAT adapter for Raspberry Pi is now shipping from <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/rs-components-supports-migration-to-next-generation-of-siemens-industrial-converters-for-motors-and-drives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RS<\/a><\/span> in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RS Components (RS) announces the launch of the DesignSpark Raspberry Pi Pmod (Peripheral Module) HAT adapter board.
