Meet the Pico HAT Hacker, a tiny yet powerful device. It's like a mini Black HAT Hacker. This super-skinny 0.8mm PCB lets you access all 40 pins on your Pi, which are broken out at the top. Just like our SHIMs, you can solder it right onto your Pi's pins. There's still enough height on a standard header to fit a HAT or pHAT on top. All pins have handy labels. One side shows BCM pin numbering, and the other gives more descriptive labels for I2C, UART, SPI, PWM, and I2S pins. You can solder it either way up according to your preference. Features include BCM and descriptive pin labelling, mounting holes (M2.5), a 0.8mm thick PCB, and compatibility with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W. Note that you'll need an extra 40-pin male header to solder onto it. When soldering, use solder sparingly to avoid wicking up the pins and making it hard to fit HATs/pHATs on top. Its dimensions are 65x19x0.8mm (LxWxH).
Using the Pico HAT Hacker is easy. First, you'll need to get an extra 40 - pin male header and solder it onto the Pico HAT Hacker. Then, solder the Pico HAT Hacker onto the pins of your Pi. Remember to use the solder sparingly so that the solder doesn't wick up the pins, which would make it difficult to fit other HATs or pHATs on top. You can choose to solder it with either the BCM pin numbering side up or the more descriptive labels side up, depending on what you find most useful. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. If it gets dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Since it's a small and delicate device, handle it with care to avoid any damage.
