Overview

Can't get enough of those sweet lofi hip hop radio beats, but don't want to keep a browser tab open for it?
In this guide, you'll set up a Raspberry Pi 4 in Kiosk mode so that it will automatically play any YouTube
music stream when it starts, using the high quality digital I2S stereo outputs of the BrainCraft HAT, and
showing a suitably low-fi 240x240 version of the video.

We'll use the BrainCraft HAT which has both video display

and

digital stereo speaker + stereo headphone
output for an all-in-one standalone YouTube appliance kit. Plug speakers directly in, or you can use the
line/headphone out to connect to an audio system or headphones

For more information about the BrainCraft HAT, head to its dedicated guide (https://adafru.it/NLE).
However, don't actually do the setup steps until this guide instructs you to do so.
