Reading Time: 3 minutesPracticalities John’s project works by using an angled, mirrored periscope to point a microscope camera at the underside of a drilling platform. “The position of the Drill Press Camera is adjusted until the crosshairs on its screen are lined up with the centre of the drill bit,” he says. “Once a PCB…

Reading Time: 2 minutesSmart dog At its core is a powerful Compute Module 4, controlling the robot and allowing for reprogramming with custom code over a web browser – although you can also plug it into a monitor (or go a VNC route) if you want and program it the old-fashioned way. There are several…

Reading Time: 2 minutesWe were lucky to be given a tour of the facilities where machines, robot arms, and real people make 250,000 Raspberry Pi computers a week – from board to box. Have you ever seen a machine put a little computer in a box? It’s very cute, and the mechanism to fold the…

On-board OS The on-board eMMC storage (from 8GB to 32GB) is pre-installed with standard 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS and a BSP (board support package). It’s…

Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen did you decide to become a teacher? I was first recognized as being neurodivergent (dyslexic) at university. I struggled with reading and writing, but it was something that I still enjoyed and found ways to make happen despite my unknown issues. Once I was able to put a name on it,…

Reading Time: 3 minutesShe’s the one The answer, he figured, would be a system that made image-sharing simple, so he came up with the concept for a pair of custom-made digital photo frames that made use of e-ink displays. Although the couple would be limited to sharing black-and-white images, this approach had many benefits, notably…

Reading Time: 2 minutesFour extra GPIO channels, each with a three-pin header, are ADC capable, so can be used as analogue inputs for sensors etc. Best of all, the board’s Nuvoton microcontroller handles all I/O, so the board only uses a handful of GPIO pins on Raspberry Pi – and it has a pass-through header…

Reading Time: 3 minutesAn impermanent print Armed with, amongst other things, some solenoid valves, wood to attach the valves to his truck, a good length of hosing, speaker wire, hose splitters, and a bilge pump, Ryder set to work. “The ‘printer’ runs off 12 V direct from the car’s cigarette lighter,” he explains. “There’s a Raspberry…

Reading Time: 2 minutesPower of potential A lot of people here at Raspberry Pi are very excited for the addition of PCI Express. NVME storage is one thing, a very cool thing that will make for some very low-profile home file servers, but we’re looking forward to seeing what people connect to it over time.…

Reading Time: 4 minutesIntroducing… Raspberry Pi 5 The incredible new computer from Raspberry Pi is a giant leap forward in features and performance. Now running a 2.4GHz ARM CPU inside a brand new BCM2712 Broadcom chip, Raspberry Pi is up to three times faster than Raspberry Pi 4. And a new Raspberry Pi RP1 chip…

Reading Time: 2 minutesPutting it together The build process for Pironman is long and fiddly. The case itself comes partially assembled, but immediately requires disassembly to fit your Raspberry Pi inside. There then follows a 24-step assembly process that involves multiple flat conductor cables (FCC) to wire together the OLED display, SD card extender, and…

Reading Time: 3 minutesWhen Matt saw the 2.1-inch HyperPixel Round Touch Display in the Pimoroni shop, he decided it looked perfect. “This screen is designed for use with Raspberry Pi, so I used a Raspberry Pi Zero W.” Matt explains that he needed the wireless capabilities to download the photos from NASA. His approach would…
