FAQ
Are HATs compatible with Raspberry Pi 5?
Most HATs that follow the 40-pin standard work with Pi 5, but always check voltage and driver support.
Can I stack multiple HATs?
Yes—using stacking headers, but confirm pin conflicts and power budgets.
Do HATs require soldering?
Many are plug-and-play, while some sensor HATs may require header soldering.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes—fast delivery anywhere in the Philippines.
