### Hardware Category

This category is for the technical discussion of the Mycroft hardware, it does not concern the design of the enclosure (that is covered in the “Design” category).

Here are some examples of what is covered here:

- Mics and Speaker components
- Raspberry Pi (which serves as the base board for Mycroft)
- Arduino controllers
- LED “face” array)

Other things that discuss the internals are covered here, if you are not sure if your post is relevant to hardware, just ask.
