An updated ClusterHAT v2.6 will be available shortly.
The Cluster HAT is a simple way to connect up to 4 Raspberry Pi Zero to a host Raspberry Pi using USB Gadget network and serial with I2C power control via GPIO.
The main changes are:
* The USB HUB updated to the CH334F which has a Multiple Transaction Translator (MTT).
* The (now obsolete) XRA1200P I/O expander is replaced by an ATtiny1616 which ships with firmware emulating the XRA1200P. It also has a built-in UPDI programmer for the ATtiny1616 allowing simple updates or switching to custom/more advanced firmware.

Royal Mail costs are rising again on 7th April 2026. Order from our Tindie store before Tuesday to take advantage of our current lower shipping rates.
You'll need to use Raspberry Pi Imager version 1.9.x for now if you want to customise Cluster HAT images.

On Monday (2025-08-25) shipping from our #Tindie store https://www.tindie.com/stores/8086net/items/ to the #USA will be disabled ahead of #RoyalMail withdrawing their delivery services to the USA on the 26th.
Royal Mail plan to enable USA PDDP (Postal Delivery Duties Paid) services on the 28th after which we can look into offering delivery to the USA again.
