## Background

The background to this is my question [How to detect what kind of HAT or GPIO board is plugged in - if any?](http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/39153/how-to-detect-what-kind-of-hat-or-gpio-board-is-plugged-in-if-any/39174#39174) and [this answer](http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/39174/7045).

I wanted a way to capture the output from various HAT devices, share it with others, and allow others with more HATs to update the list.
