The protein purifier software is executed on a Raspberry Pi, which interfaces with all hardware peripherals through an I2C bus. While most peripherals are powered by a 24 V power supply, a secondary 5 V source generated by a voltage regulator on the Pi hat is used to power both the Raspberry Pi and the solenoid valve controller. The custom hat also uses a level shifter to convert the 3.3 V I2C signal of the Raspberry Pi into a 5 V signal for the attached peripherals.
