From the project
torxHAT: a compact 2-layer Raspberry Pi HAT for the RSC with pass-through GPIO and support for many audio HATs
This repository contains the PCB design files for torxHat developed for the Robotic Study Companion (RSC) platform.
This board was designed to reduce dependency on specific audio HATs, while supporting multiple audio HAT options it also offers USB power delivery and peripheral connectivity.
The board is powered from a single USB-C PD input configured for 20 V 2.5 A.
