I am working on a robotics project and I need to attach a Speaker phat and also a Picon zero to the same Pi Zero . I am aware that hats don’t use all of the gpio pins but they usually come with an header which covers all the gpios. I was wondering if it would be possible to attach individual wires ...

the EL817C optoisolater current limiting resistance value of 1k is designed to be 5V TTL compatible. You can change it to 6k, so that it is < 1V on and > 2.5V off, in other words, now both Rpi 3V3 and TTL 5V compatible. Getting around Rpi 3V GPIO signal not high enough to switch off EL817C opto iso...

TT motors are the best value for hobby bots, good to learn on. Replacement RS-130 size motors are low cost, even here only $1. TT RS130 Motors for Toy Cars Yes, 130 motors are very good for poor hobbyists. So I have started learning. :mrgreen: tlfong01's Toy Car DIY PenZu Diary https://penzu.com/p/...

(2) Rpi GPIO is only 3V logic. You might need to consider using logical level shifter to convert the signals to 5V.

The OP does not want to provide details, when I asked he said led's, when I proposed a simple solution for led's he said it was not led's.

1. output must be 5 V... 2. LED as an example but could be RELAY or ACTUATOR ... Logic Level Converter and Optoisolator For [1], I would suggest you to use a logical level converter, such as TSX010n, to shift up Rpi GPIO signals from 3V3 to 5V0. This way you also protect Rpi, because TSX010n would ...
