Ryan Walmsley from Stevenage, who produced the excellent RTK Motor Controller Board as well as a great value-for-money budget robotics kit, has just launched a new Kickstarter. It’s for a tiny board called the “Raspberry Pi Debug Clip“. The Debug Clip pushes onto the GPIO and, with the aid of a USB cable, connects to your laptop or desktop computer and allows it to communicate with the Pi over a serial terminal. This is great for when you need emergency access to a headless Pi, such as when you’ve built a robot, and is usable in conjunction with other GPIO boards – they just push in over the top of the Clip. Earlybird pledges are currently £5 (+£1 delivery in the UK and £5 delivery for international) rising to £6 after the first 30 are gone.

You never know when you’re going to need one! I’ve backed it already! 🙂
