HATs and other add-ons • Using LoRa hat *AND* sensors?

Hi all,

I have a project that needs LoRa. I'm looking at the WM1302 hat. It covers all 40 pins, though some, about 8, arent connected. The hat doesn't provide 40 pins to place another hat on top like a lot of other hats do.

I need an RFID Sensor that uses about 5 specific pins, 2 Mmwave sensors that each use 1 pin, and a hall effect sensor that uses another pin.

What are my options for connecting to the proper pins for each sensor AND use the LoRa hat? I found a $10 right angle extender on Amazon that gives access to the pins with a hat on top of the rpi, but won't that interfere with the LoRa hat sending and receiving?

Am I stuck buying another rpi just for the sensors and sending mqtt messages to the rpi with the LoRa hat?

Thanks for any ideas!

Bret
