Cluster HAT

The Cluster HAT is a simple yet effective tool designed to bring the power of cluster computing to the Raspberry Pi A+ and B+ lines. Manufactured by 8086, this HAT can connect up to four Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W boards to a Raspberry Pi A+ or B+ based board (A+/B+/2/3/4). By putting the Pi Zeros in USB Gadget Mode, the system functions as a mini computer cluster. The Pi Zeros connect directly to the HAT through on-board USB 2.0 MicroB connectors.

Please note that this package includes just the HAT, a USB interface cable, and mounting hardware. Any Raspberry Pis needed must be bought separately.

The package contains:- Cluster HAT- USB A to Micro B Cable (for connecting the HAT to the host Pi)- Mounting hardware

The Cluster HAT boasts a range of features:- USB Gadget Mode Functionality: Ethernet and Serial Console- Onboard 4-port USB 2.0 hub- Powering of Raspberry Pi Zeros via Controller Pi GPIO (USB optional)- Individual power control for Raspberry Pi Zeros via Controller Pi GPIO (I2C)- Connector for Controller Serial Console (FTDI Basic)- Ability to reboot Controller Pi without interrupting power to Pi Zeros, with network recovery on boot
