Fresh from the post comes a great controller for the micro:bit from 4tronix – the Bit:Commander. It’s baking hot up in the office, so I’m just going to do a quick review and my thoughts on it. The micro:bit plugs…
The techies from Raspberry Pi have just announced that the ability to boot from a mass storage device with Raspbian installed without an SD card is one step closer today. There is now a public beta programme for the facility…
This is lovely and also a great micro:bit resource. The folks over at Kitronik have written a detailed explanation of how to build this great London Eye and turbine station model over on their blog. It uses their All-in-One Robotics…
by David Booth, Hitchin Hackspace Overview I’ve been loaned a new Raspberry Pi High Quality (HQ) camera with both the 6mm wide-angle lens and the 16mm telephoto lens by a very generous benefactor. It was so I could create an…
Getting started with robotics is always tricky. For Raspberry Pi robotics, I always point people at the Pi Wars Hints and Tips guide. For micro:bit, however, you might find this guide a great place to start to build the robot…
Foone Turing (follow him on Twitter here) has done some crazy builds in the past but this time he’s gone for… entirely useless! He’s hooked up an old floppy drive to a Raspberry Pi which reads the disk insertion events…
A group of students at the Stanford University Student Robotics group have developed a lightweight, open source quadruped robot design. They’ve called it the Pupper and it runs from a Raspberry Pi 4. The cost for the Pupper is between $600…
Tony Goodhew has done an extensive, exhaustive and detailed review of the Inventor’s Kit for micro:bit from Kitronik over on the Element 14 website. The kit contains everything you need to get going with the micro:bit including a base board…
Here goes… my first micro:bit post. 🙂 I asked on Twitter whether there were any blogs out there for the micro:bit. I was sent a few links to various different sites (although, curiously, very few with an RSS feed that…
Hi everyone – hope you’re well in these weird, difficult times. Over the past few months, I’ve come to the conclusion that many of the people who are interested in the Raspberry Pi are also interested in other single board…
