Add Increased Functionality to Your Arduino and Raspberry Pi with TinyCircuits’ Whiskers

▤ Summary

Open source electronics maker TinyCircuits has launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring their tiny Whisker add-on boards to the market. The boards act in a similar fashion to Raspberry Pi HATs and Arduino shields, adding everything from sensors to 9-axis IMUs. The Whiskers connect to the Pi/Arduino/TinyDuino via a 5-pin cable, which means there is no soldering required, making it easy to attach to new or existing projects. TinyCircuits state they have developed over 30 Whisker boards — including a myriad of sensors (accelerometer, 9-axis IMU, color, VOC, etc. Tiny Circuits’ other processor board, the RobotZero, was designed for robotic projects and features four Whisker connectors, two motor ports, an IMU, as well as a SAM D21 MCU.
