BrickPi for LEGO MINDSTORMS and Raspberry Pi - Dexter Industries

Dexter Industries had a successful Kickstarter recently for “BrickPi”… Well, that’s underplaying it – they reached a whopping 6,751% of their funding, which is the biggest over-fund I think I’ve ever seen.

Simply put, BrickPi turns the Raspberry Pi into a LEGO robot. Here’s what they say about their own product:

BrickPi is a system that converts Raspberry Pi into a robot. The project is a board and case that connects LEGO® Mindstorms Sensors, motors, and parts to turn your credit card size computer into a robot. The BrickPi allows you to connect up to 4 NXT Motors and 5 Sensors. It has a 9V battery power source that powers the motors, sensors, and Raspberry Pi, un-tethering the Pi from the wall. Finally, it has a sturdy case with holes that snap with LEGO parts. The brains of a Raspberry Pi joined with the LEGO building system.

You can buy a basic kit and a case for $65 and other options are available. Read more here and pre-order if you want one!
