Pan Tilt Hat has SPI gpio slots?

Noticing that the pan tilt hat https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pan-tilt-hat?variant=33704345034,
has various gpio connections available from the top of the board. Are these redirects to the pins from the rpi itself? I see no reference describing these connections.

The pinout is here, https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pan_tilt_hat#
Looks like it only lists the ones actually used by the Hat. I would say they are just extensions of those pins on the GPIO. For if you get creative and want to mount a distance sensor, or an SPI camera etc.
An added bonus. Best guess anyway.

You might get some info if you watch this Bilge Tank Video.


I haven’t watched in myself, not yet anyway.

Aye indeed they just forward the pins from the Pi to a convinient header for expansion.

They’re not currently documented on Pinout.xyz as a rule of thumb, since they’re not technically in-use and would add visual clutter.
