This hasn’t got anything to do with the sponsorship at the top of the page – just something I thought was cool and that I wanted to share with you.
There are an awful lot of cases out there now, and with the B+ having just launched there will be many more to come. Jamie over at The Pi Hut noticed this and decided to create a product comparison/search filter page for all the cases they have in stock. Take a look at it here.
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! 🙂
