Product description
Clipper HAT Mini is an expansion board that enables Raspberry Pi to send and receive data over 4G LTE mobile networks. The module is designed for projects where WiFi or wired network connections are unavailable, such as remote monitoring, data collection and mobile installations.
The board is based on the SIMCom A7683E and supports seven LTE frequency bands used in Europe. The module is controlled using AT commands and can be used with the PPP support in Raspberry Pi OS.
Clipper HAT Mini features a SIM card slot, an SMA connector for an external antenna, two programmable buttons and LEDs for status indication and network activity. A Qwiic connector allows sensors and other I²C modules to be connected.
The board comes with a pre-installed 40-pin female header and connects directly to the Raspberry Pi GPIO.
