Wish they had included female-male standoffs instead (or in addition) to allow mounting the pi with the hat to a plate.

Packaging/appearance


The support of all 40 pins of the gpio header is very useful.

    Fan is a bit noisy and the python script they supply to control it and run the display is very basic
