Google has launched new versions of its two AIY Projects kits, but only to the US first of all.
The new kits come with a bundled Raspberry Pi Zero WH (that’s the pre-soldered version) and an SD card with the software installed, making life a lot easier.
The Vision kit, which moves to version 1.2 after a rather shaky start, also comes with a Pi Camera Module.
Also worth noting is an update and improvement to the documentation over at Google.
The AIY Voice kit, of course, started out as a MagPi giveaway before going on sale.
You can buy the Voice Kit v2 over on Target for $49 and Vision Kit v1.2 from the same store for $90.
You can expect them to hit UK stores in the Summer, according to Billy Rutledge, Google’s Director of AIY Projects.
Thanks to The MagPi for the tip – you can read more over there.
MicroCenter was selling the AIY voice kit for $3.14 since pi day.
The original is much better in terms of the extra hardware IMHO – the full-sized HAT has a lot of ‘extra bits’ like servo control. The new version drops a lot of that.
