Can you stack multiple PI HATs?
Stacking HATs Even though HATs are not intended to be stacked, you can stack up to 62 HATs and not have an address collision, for up to 992 PWM outputs! You’ll still need to provide power and write code for all those outputs but they can all share the same SDA/SCL pins no problem.
What is raspberry hat?
HAT stands for “Hardware attached on top”. It is a new hardware specification for add-one modules for the new Raspberry Pi model B+. HATs have several advantages compared to older add-on modules for the Raspberry Pi. No soldering, just plug it onto the Raspbery Pi.
How do you store multiple HATs?
Storage Tips

Can you stack multiple hats on a Raspberry Pi?
It’s fair to say that since 2014 there are a multitude of HATs that have been produced that offer incredible functionality and often you need the functionality of more that one HAT. No problem, you can physically stack virtually any number. However this is where your problems start. You see, you can’t stack multiple HATs if they have an ID EEPROM.
How many unique address do you need for stacking hats?
The only thing to watch for when stacking HATs is every HAT must have a unique I2C address. The default address is 0x60. You can adjust the address of the motor HATs to range from 0x60 to 0x80 for a total of 32 unique addresses. Each board in the stack must be assigned a unique address.
Do you need a stacking header for a servo hat?
If you need to control a bunch of servos as well, you can use our 16-channel servo HAT and stack it with this HAT to add a crazy large # of servos. Stacking HATs is very easy. Each HAT you want to stack on top of must have stacking headers installed.
