We Release our First HAT, the Kitronik Air Quality Control HAT for Raspberry Pi

0 comments

Kitronik are proud to announce the release of our very first in-house Raspberry Pi HAT, the Kitronik Air Quality Control HAT for Raspberry Pi. With it, you can monitor, log, and react to the gathered sensory data. It is fully compliant with the HAT specification, just slot it onto the pins of the Raspberry Pi and you're ready to go!

We have been an official Raspberry Pi reseller since mid to late 2021 and ever since we've been adding Raspberry Pi products to our range at a steady rate. We now carry a selection of official Raspberry Pi lines along side HATs and Accessories from companies such as Pimoroni and Monk Makes. Although we have been producing add-ons and kits for Raspberry Pi Pico for quite some time, this is our first home grown HAT. We're excited and we hope that you are too!

Kitronik Air Quality Control HAT for Raspberry Pi

The board contains sensors to track temperature, pressure, humidity, air quality and ECO2. Additionally it provides a variety of sensor inputs and connection points for the Raspberry Pi and provides the ability to log, store and display data effectively with the Pi filesystem and an OLED screen. There are also connection points for external devices, such as analogue sensors, servos, motors, and heater pads that allow for additional monitoring and reading-based actions. In addition to the onboard screen, there is also an onboard buzzer and status ZIP LEDs that can all be used to brag your attention and inform.

Kitronik has created a package for the Air Quality Control HAT which is hosted on PyPi. This means that the package can be installed very simply on the Pi with the following command, copy and paste it into a terminal and hit enter:

pip install KitronikAirQualityControlHAT

The code, along with a README and example programs, can be found on the Kitronik GitHub repo.
