Cluster HAT V2.0
Compatible with all zeros?
Is this cluster hat compatible with the raspberry pi zero v1.3, and the raspberry pi zero w, or is it restricted to raspberry pi zero v1.2
-
It's compatible with both Pi Zero & Pi Zero W, but NOT if the header is soldered onWas this answer helpful?
Which Version of the board will we get?
The image shows v2.0, I ordered the complete set and got v2.2 and v2.3 is out. Which version will I get if I order another one?

Our current stock is V2.2Was this answer helpful?
Zero amounts to buy
I wish to buy this but when trying to buy 4 pi zero says lim. Is 1 from Australia 4 orders would cost to much in postage?

To order 4 Pi Zeros, for use with the cluster HAT, you need to purchase the full kit, found here - https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/iousbanalogue-expansion-1028/interfacing-1080/cluster-hat-kit-inc.-4-x-raspberry-pi-zero/Was this answer helpful?
How powerful is it in comparison
I want a cluster to run n64 games better and faster so how much stronger is it and can you use it on retropie

That's not really how this Cluster HAT works. You don't get a single raspberry pi running with more CPU/RAM. You simply have the ability to access 4 different Pi's over a USB bridged network. Each Pi runs independently from each other, so you will need a special bit of software to "divide" up the work and send it to each Pi to be processed. This software will be very bespoke to the task you want to do.Was this answer helpful?
When will the Cluster HAT case be available?

Hopefully by the end of this week, possibly begining of next week.Was this answer helpful?
How many Zeros can be connected?
Is it poissible to connect not all 4 but only 3 Zeros to the Cluster HAT?
-
Yes, you can use 1-4 Pi Zeros with the Cluster HAT. You do not have to use the full 4.Was this answer helpful?

Bill of Materials
Raspberry Pi B+/2/3
ClusterH.. New Updated V2.0 Cluster HAT! The Cluster HAT is the perfect tool for modelling, testing and teaching small scale clusters. The Cluster HAT is designed to interface a controller (Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2/3) with 4 Raspberry Pi Zero's configured to use USB gadget mode. It's an ideal tool for teaching, testing or simulating small scale clusters.
Please Note. Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Zero's are NOT included
The Cluster HAT Features:
- Small Scale Cluster Simulator
- The Cluster HAT can be used with any mix of Pi Zero 1.2, Pi Zero 1.3 and Pi Zero W.
- USB Gadget Mode: Ethernet and Serial Console.
- Onboard 4 port USB 2.0 hub.
- Zeros (not included) are powered via Controller Pi GPIO
- Individual Raspberry Pi Zero power controlled via Controller Pi GPIO
- Connector for Controller Serial Console (FTDI Basic).
- Controller Pi can be rebooted without interrupting power to Pi Zeros (network recovers on boot).
- Kit includes:
- Cluster HAT
- HAT standoffs and screws
- Short USB rope (colour may vary)
