I love Pimoroni Modules, having used the MicroDot pHAT, Unicorn boards, Touch pHAT, (and several more). The only problem I have is that the libraries aren’t particularly well written. Of course they’re open source and I would like to improve them, but as far as I know there are no schematics available.

Example being, the Touch pHAT (very good board btw) doesn’t use interrupts and library is sorta messy. I still use it though, because it’s not a big deal — however it’d be nice to be able to take full advantage of the components used in the boards. I guess my rant is mostly about not having access to some schematics of the products.



We're working on opening up the schematics to our range, watch this space!


Thank you! That’s all I needed, and of course I’ll contribute back the changes I made to libraries (particularly the Microdot pHAT — which I love by the way — just that the changes are not pretty at the moment...).
