We've bundled Propeller HAT with a 170pt breadboard and female headers, but left them un-soldered and un-stuck so you can choose what fits you best. That does mean, however, that \u003cstrong\u003esoldering is required!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt around the Parallax Propeller \u003c\/strong\u003e- Propeller HAT hosts the powerful 8-core Propeller microcontroller from Parallax. It connects it to your Pi’s serial port for programming, and breaking out its 30 remaining pins for general IO use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully programmable on the Pi\u003c\/strong\u003e - All the tools you need to program Propeller HAT will run on the Raspberry Pi. From Propeller IDE, the software you need to write SPIN code, to OpenSpin, the compiler, and p1load, the loader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePython IO library\u003c\/strong\u003e - We’ve created a collection of Python IO library examples.
