PiSugar Whisplay HAT is a multifunctional expansion board for Raspberry Pi Zero, integrating a display, microphones, speakers, and more to turn it into a portable interactive device.

It directly addresses the core challenges Raspberry Pi Zero users face: while the Pi Zero offers incredible computing power in a tiny package, adding audio, display, and user interface components typically means a mess of wires, multiple HATs, and compromised portability.

Whisplay HAT elegantly solves this problem by integrating all essential multimedia interfaces into a single, perfectly-sized expansion board, preserving the Pi Zero's compact form factor while dramatically expanding its capabilities.

Key Features​

Despite its tiny form factor, it packs an impressive array of hardware features:

  • 1.69inch IPS LCD Display: High-quality color screen for visual interfaces, 240x280 pixels
  • Dual Microphones: For voice recognition and audio recording
  • Built-in Speaker: For audio playback and notifications
  • Mouse Buttons: For navigation and control
  • RGB LED Indicator: For status information and visual feedback

Maximizing Space Efficiency​

What makes Whisplay HAT truly remarkable is its exceptional space utilization. By integrating multiple components onto a single PCB that perfectly matches the Pi Zero's tiny footprint, it eliminates the need for multiple separate modules and connections.

Practical Applications​

The Whisplay HAT opens up numerous possibilities:

  • AI Chatbot: Create your own compact AI chatbot with voice recognition and audio output
  • Portable Gaming: Develop handheld games with audio and visual feedback
  • Home Automation Controller: A complete interface for controlling smart home devices
  • Wearable Projects: The small size makes it ideal for wearable technology
  • Audio Processing: Use the dual microphones for sound localization or noise cancellation applications

With Whisplay HAT, your Pi Zero transforms from a simple computer board into a complete interactive platform while maintaining its compact size.
