Cluster HAT v2.5

The Cluster HAT v2.5 interfaces a Raspberry Pi 4 (or older A+/B+/2/3/4) with 4x Raspberry Pi Zero W boards (not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W due to the additional power the Zero 2 requires). **Raspberry Pi and Pi Zero boards not included** Configured to use USB Gadget mode, it is an ideal tool for teaching, testing or simulating small-scale clusters.

* USB Gadget Mode: Ethernet and Serial Console

* Onboard 4-port USB 2.0 hub

* Raspberry Pi Zeros are powered via Controller Pi GPIO

* Individual Raspberry Pi Zero power controlled via Controller Pi GPIO

* Connector for USB Serial Adaptor (FTDI 3.3v)

* Controller Pi can be rebooted without interrupting power to Raspberry Pi Zeros (network recovers on boot)

* New! Pads for adding a 5V fan

* Assembly - Connecting the ClusterHAT (plugging/unplugging the Pi Zeros).

* Software - Installing our Customised Raspbian for the Controller and Zeros.

* Control - Controlling power to the Pi Zeros
