The Adafruit CRICKIT HAT for Raspberry Pi. This is a clip from our weekly show when it debuted! https://www.adafruit.com/product/3957 Sometimes we wonder if robotics engineers ever watch movies. If they did, they'd know that making robots into slaves always ends up in a robot rebellion. Why even go down that path? Here at Adafruit, we believe in making robots our friends! So if you find yourself wanting a companion, consider the robot. They're fun to program, and you can get creative with decorations. With that in mind, we designed the Adafruit Crickit HAT - That's our Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It's an add-on to the Raspberry Pi that lets you #MakeRobotFriend using Python! Plug the Crickit HAT onto your Pi using the standard 2x20 GPIO connector and start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get 8 signal pins with analog inputs or PWM outputs, capacitive touch sensors, a level-shifted NeoPixel driver and 3W amplified speaker output from the I2S port. It complements & extends your Pi, doing all the things a Pi can't do, so you can still use all the goodies on the Pi like video, camera, Internet, bluetooth... but now you have a robotics playground as well. Control of the motors, sensors, NeoPixels, capacitive touch, etc is all done in Python 3. It's the easiest and best way to program your Pi, and after a couple pip installs you'll be ready to go. Audio is handled by the Pi's built in audio system, so anything that plays audio will come out the speaker - that includes Python commands or any application with sound. The Crickit HAT is powered by seesaw, our I2C-to-whatever bridge firmware. So you only need to use two data pins to control the huge number of inputs and outputs on the Crickit. All those timers, PWMs, NeoPixels, sensors are offloaded to the co-processor.

Adafruit Industries has long been focused on making technology accessible, and their Raspberry Pi podcast is a direct extension of that mission. It’s a space where curiosity about this small, affordable computer meets practical, hands-on guidance. Rather than just defining the Raspberry Pi as a low-cost ARM GNU/Linux box, the discussions here explore what that actually means for your projects. You’ll hear conversations that delve into the intersection of hardware and software, often centered on Adafruit's own specially designed components and how they unlock the Pi's potential. This isn't about abstract theory; it's about the tangible steps between having a board and building something functional with it. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a workshop where the hosts share a genuine enthusiasm for problem-solving and creative electronics. The tone is welcoming but assumes a drive to tinker, making it a great resource for both beginners finding their footing and experienced makers looking for specific insights. Each episode contributes to a broader, collective effort to learn and share knowledge, embodying Adafruit's core goal through the lens of this versatile little computer.
