Raspberry Pi HAT - Pan-Tilt or USB Hub Options

Choose the expansion that fits your Raspberry Pi project: a Pan-Tilt HAT for camera movement or a USB HUB HAT for extra connections. These are two different boards, each adding a specific function to a compatible Pi setup.

✅ Move a project camera - The Pan-Tilt HAT option supports two-axis motion controlled through I2C.

✅ Add USB and wired networking - The USB HUB HAT option provides three USB ports and 10/100 Ethernet.

✅ Monitor ambient light in a camera project - The Pan-Tilt option includes a light sensor for your control application.

Expand the Part of the Project That Needs More

A camera experiment and a connected Pi station need different expansion hardware. For camera positioning, the Pan-Tilt option brings motion control and light sensing into the project so your software can respond to both.

For a compact workstation, the USB HUB HAT adds peripheral ports and Ethernet instead. Select one board by its purpose and fit; the USB hub does not provide pan-tilt motion, and the Pan-Tilt board is not a USB or Ethernet expander.
