Russell Barnes has done another brilliant interview – this time with 4tronix Founder and inventor Gareth Davies. In the podcast, they discuss Gareth’s previous experience in the computing industry before giving loads of detail about the Pi2Go robotics product that he expects to be available in a couple of months. Sounds like an exciting robot kit, and for about £60 I think it’ll be a big success. Listen to the podcast here.
It seems there’s quite a fad for taking old stuff and putting a Pi inside. Here’s another one, this time from Imgur user mxmln23. He’s taken two vintage radios, used the best bits from both and added the Pi, and lots of power circuitry to create a device that does the folllowing:
Element 14 has published a rather nice pin-out diagram for the B+. I thought I’d share it here.
Clive Beale of the Raspberry Pi Foundation has written a great round-up of what goes on at a Picademy, particularly with emphasis on the cohort that just finished. It’s really inspiring what these guys get up to over two days. Read the report here. If you’re a teacher, you can apply for the next one in September by visiting this page.
After a bit of messing around with different themes, Alex Eames suggested that I should make sure I hadn’t turned the responsive option off in the theme settings. It turns out it wasn’t that, but it did get me thinking… if the theme should be responsive, maybe I’ve done something to it. So, I switched back and forth and it reset the custom CSS I’d put in and, lo and behold, the site became responsive again. So, it was my fault entirely, which came as somewhat of a relief! So, I’ve re-applied my CSS changes, removed the offending lines and everything is now okay. So, thanks Alex for setting me on the road that took me to the answer! 🙂
Here’s a nice video from the guys over at Sparkfun that does a comparison between the B and the B+. I prefer Alex Eames’ video, but this one has a guy in a white coat!
