Machine Learning Monday! BrainCraft HAT for Raspberry Pi preview!

Author: Adafruit Industries September 2, 2019 Duration: 8:29
The idea behind the BrainCraft board (stand-alone, and Pi “hat”) is that you’d be able to “craft brains” for Machine Learning on the EDGE, with Microcontrollers & Microcomputers. On ASK AN ENGINEER, our founder & engineer chatted with Pete Warden, the technical lead of the mobile, embedded TensorFlow Group on Google’s Brain team about what would be ideal for a board like this. And here’s a first look! We’ve started to design a BrainCraft HAT for Raspberry Pi and other linux computers. It has a 240×240 TFT display for inference output, slot for Camera connector cable for imaging projects, a 5 way joystick and button for UI input, left and right microphones, stereo headphone, stereo speaker out, three RGB dotstar LEDs, two 3 pin STEMMA connectors on PWM pins so they can drive NeoPixels or servos, and grove/stemma/qwiic I2C port. This should let people build a wide range of audio/video AI projects while also allowing easy plug in of sensors and robotics! Most importantly, there’s an On/Off switch that will disable the audio codec so that when its off there’s no way its listening to you! #machinelearning #tensorflow #raspberrypi Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------

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.
