Recognising that only one HAT can be fitted to the expansion connector on a Raspberry Pi computer at once, customers told us they desperately wanted our easy WiFi connectivity but would miss their real time clock add on.
Taking that on board, literally, today Elesar is announcing a new variant of our WiFi HAT which includes an RTC.
Batteries included
------------------
The new variant (order code EA-846-9) features a low power clock chip and associated circuitry in a previously unused area of the design. Available now for �54+VAT (�64.80 inc) this includes a lithium coin cell, fixing nuts, and printed manual.
Driver update
-------------
If you already have WiFi we've also released some updated software (see the Resources section of the product page to download free of charge). The two
most recent changes being
* Increased the maximum permitted packet size in EtherWILC so it can transport
ShareFS packets, allowing wireless shared drives with your other Acorn
computers
* WiFi Manager now displays the live signal strength as a bar graph in its
icon when connected
Vanilla edition
---------------
When we launched Elesar's WiFi HAT expansion card they turned out to be more popular than our forward orders at the factory predicted, causing it to be
out of stock since mid December. The original is now available again for �44+VAT (�52.80 inc).
Availability
------------
Both styles of WiFi HAT are available now and include a printed manual. For more details and to order see

Orders can also be sent in by email (to this address) to order offline if preferred, paying by BACS or PayPal.
