There's a nifty little DIP switch on the bottom of the board that lets you select either mono (left and right are blended through both channels) or stereo playback. The clip-in terminals make it super-simple to wire in your speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two rows of 8 APA102 RGB LEDs make the perfect VU meter, but can be coded to do whatever you wish, like displaying the steps on a step sequencer Drum HAT or Piano HAT, or just pulsing in time with the beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe six buttons on the edges of pHAT BEAT are linked direct to GPIO, and can be used for whatever you wish, although we've suggested some uses on the board, like rewind, play\/pause, fast-forward, volume up and down, and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse pHAT BEAT to create a gorgeous little radio for your desk, to stream music from iPhone with Airplay, or turn it into a collaborative Slack-controlled Spotify player for your office!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edual I2S DAC\/amplifiers for stereo audio (MAX98357A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3W per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x push fit speaker terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIP switch to select blended mono or stereo modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 RGB LED pixels (APA102) in 2 rows of 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 edge-mounted push buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epHAT BEAT pinout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Raspberry Pi 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, Zero W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware installer and ALSA VU meter plugin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePython library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale header requires soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSoftware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've created a nifty one-line installer to get your pHAT BEAT set up in the blink of an eye.
