Overview
There is only 1-ch UART port on the original Raspberry Pi, once it is used for terminal debugging, no more other serial device is allowed. What a poor situation. Now you have 2-ch extra UART, plus 8 programmable GPIOs, just bring this Serial Expansion HAT
Features
Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards (Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+/3B/2B/Zero/Zero W/Zero WH)
Onboard SC16IS752, expands 2-ch UART and 8 programmable GPIO through I2C, no extra pin required
It is stackable up to 16 this modules by setting the address jumper, that means up to 32-ch UART
Onboard multi LEDs for indicating the UART working status
Reserved I2C control pins, allows to work with other control boards
Comes with development resources and manual (examples in C and python)
