Pimoroni Four Letter pHAT

Use Four Letter pHAT to display... four letter words. Not that sort!

Four Letter pHAT has four 14-segment displays that you can use to display text, numbers, and a host of other characters. Its LEDs are a beautiful retro green, just like you old digital alarm clock. They're driven by the HT16K33 chip over I2C.

Update: In addition to our regular individual slimline postage friendly packaging the Four Letter pHAT is now available retail packaged with each pHAT in its own colourful blister pack, ideal for retail display!

It's perfect as a readout for your projects, displaying temperatures, times, etc. and becomes really useful when combined with some of our other boards like Enviro pHAT or Explorer pHAT to display their sensor values.

Features

• Four 14-segment displays with green LEDs
• HT16K33 driver chip
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, Zero W

• Female header and display pins require soldering (if you need some practice, we have starter kits here, and one with lots of LEDs here) or you can purchase solderless headers here.

Software

Our handy one-line installer will install the Four Letter pHAT Python library for you. We've included a bunch of examples too, to show off what you can do with Four Letter pHAT; things like a clock, a countdown timer, or CPU activity monitor.
