Tipping your Raspberry Pi FEZ HAT

[News]

So you have a Raspberry Pi. It's great, but hey, it's the Internet of Things, plural. It would be cool if there were an easy way to connect to a bunch of devices easily, and that there were already C# drivers available. Good thing there's now...

The FEZ HAT...The Ultimate Raspberry Pi Topping!

With our continued commitment to support Windows 10 on devices (the IoT extensions), we are proud to announce the FEZ HAT. The FEZ HAT allows for a Fast and Easy (FEZ) way to connect all kinds of sensors and devices to the Raspberry Pi. The FEZ HAT is compatible with the RPi 2 Model B.
