GPIO Hat Connector
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2019 5:05 pm
The Wiki says "To preserve Pi hats compatibility (electrical and physical) we kept the original Raspberry Pi GPIOs but rotated them 180 degrees" and indeed the PCB GPIO connector pin markings confirm that the hat, rather than riding above the processor board as hats are normally wont to do, would need to hang off into space.
First off, I would like to triple-confirm that to be the case before frying anything.
Secondly, why in the world would you have decided to do that? It rules out using a hat such as the common 3.5" LCD hat (from AdaFruit, Seeed, etc.) in a compact-camera arrangement. I don't see any benefit in return.
