According to Adafruit, the BrainCraft HAT “allows you to “craft brains” for machine learning on the edge, with microcontrollers and microcomputers”, and we really like that description.
The board features a 240 × 240 TFT IPS display for inference output, a camera connection slot, joystick, button, left and right microphones, stereo headphone out, a 1-watt speaker output, and three RGB LEDs. And, to make building up your circuit simple without the need to solder, they even included two 3-pin STEMMA connectors. Just add your Raspberry Pi and you’ll be off to the races.
There are a few more well-thought-out features of the BrainCraft HAT, like the ability to add a fan under the HAT to keep your Raspberry Pi cool when running AI inferencing. Head over to the Adafruit website to learn more about this very capable little HAT.
They rate the HAT 9 out of 10, saying “Brains for your Raspberry Pi.”

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
