======= 

A Rasperry Pi hat for the Donkey Car that provides a few helpful features. 

* The power for the Raspberry Pi comes from the RC car battery.

* A single power switch turns on the car and the pi.

* The PWM controller ins included.

* 3 GPIO pins are accessable. 

* 2 LEDS to indicate stasues. 

## Install 

1. Install the part library.

    ```bash

    pip install git+https://github.com/autorope/donkeypart_sombrero.git

    ```

2. Import Sombrero at the top of your manage.py script.

    ```python

    from donkeypart_sombrero import Sombrero

    ```

3. Update your car's mangae.py script to use the Sombrero instead of the 

other steering and throttle actuators. This section should look like this..

    ```python

    sombrero = Sombrero(

        steering_channel=cfg.STEERING_CHANNEL,

        steering_left_pwm=cfg.STEERING_LEFT_PWM,

        steering_right_pwm=cfg.STEERING_RIGHT_PWM,

        throttle_channel=cfg.THROTTLE_CHANNEL,

        throttle_forward_pwm=cfg.THROTTLE_FORWARD_PWM,

        throttle_stop_pwm=cfg.THROTTLE_STOPPED_PWM,

        throttle_reverse_pwm=cfg.THROTTLE_REVERSE_PWM

    )

    

    V.add(sombrero, inputs=['angle', 'throttle'])

    ```
