Nice to see a project with teh BuildHat. I bought one hoping to use it with the Lego Boost and Lego Wedo 2.0 kits my boys have. Unfortunately the Spike / Boost / Wedo kits are just different enough that they don't work together.

The Lego Boost sets should work, I've had a play with my son's sets (He's got the original and the star wars droid set), the motors were fine, but they aren't encoded like the spike ones are, so you can just drive them for a time period rather than to a position, but this is the same control as you get in the lego boost programming app.
The WeDo are listed in the compatibilty sheet as well, you can check it out here: www.raspberrypi.com/.../build-hat.html
