Overview
Portenta Hat Carrier is a reliable and robust carrier that transforms Portenta X8 into an industrial single board computer compatible with Raspberry Pi® Hats and cameras. Ready for multiple industrial applications such as building automation and machine monitoring.
Compatible also with Portenta H7 and Portenta C33, Portenta Hat Carrier provides easy access to multiple peripherals – including CAN, Ethernet, microSD and USB – and further extends any Portenta application.
Great for prototyping and ready for scaling up, it extends the features found on a typical Raspberry Pi® Model B. Debug quickly with dedicated JTAG pins and keeps heat manageable under intense workloads with a PWM fan connector. Control actuators or read analog sensors via the additional 16x analog I/Os. Add industrial machine vision solutions to any project by leveraging the onboard camera connector.
Key benefits include:
- Add Raspberry Pi® Hats to your Portenta projects
- Quickly access CAN, USB, and Ethernet peripherals
- Leverage onboard MicroSD card to log data
- Enjoy simple debugging through the onboard JTAG pins
- Easily control actuators and read sensors via 16x analog I/Os
- Leveraging the onboard camera connector for machine vision
- Discover a great prototyping tool for scalable Portenta applications!

During Bett Show 2020, Arduino will launch the Arduino Education learning evolution: four new STEAM products for students in lower secondary school through to university. Arduino Education will also announce a partnership with the Fraunhofer Initiative: “Roberta – Learning with Robots” in Germany. Arduino Education's latest products — CTC GO! Motions Expansion Pack, Engineering Kit Rev2, Arduino Education Starter Kit, and IoT Starter Kit — will be unveiled at Bett and available in Q1. These new products complement the existing portfolio, which includes the Science Kit, CTC GO!, CTC 101, Arduino Starter Kit, and Certification program. Arduino CEO Fabio Violante comments: “We are delighted to announce four new products which will expand STEAM learning for lower secondary to university students. Our technology, programming, and curriculum content are creative tools — just like brushes and paint — that students can use as they become part of our next generation of scientists and artists.” CTC GO! Motions Expansion Pack (Age: 14+) Build on your secondary school students’ STEAM knowledge with more complex programming concepts that develop computational thinking and 21st-century skills. For educators who have taken their students through the CTC GO! – Core Module, the Motions Expansion Pack builds on what they have already learned about how to use technology as a tool and how to apply that knowledge in the real world. The Motions Expansion Pack challenges students to go a step further in computing and design while introducing them to motors and transmission mechanisms such as pulleys and gear concepts that develop their logical reasoning, hands-on building skills, and problem-solving skills. Educators get all the teaching support they need with webinars, videos, guides, and direct contact with an expert. Engineering Kit Rev2 (Age: 17+) Challenge upper secondary school and university students and help them develop hands-on
