It’s an incredibly sad day for the British computing industry. We’re always going to be very grateful to Sir Clive for being one of the founding fathers of the UK home computing boom that helped so many of us at Raspberry Pi get hooked on programming as kids. He was someone from whom the business… The post Sir Clive Sinclair, 1940-2021 appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

In the latest issue of Wireframe magazine, video game pioneer Howard Scott Warshaw reflects on the calamitous E.T. for the Atari 2600. Could it serve as a useful metaphor for real life? When Julius Caesar ran into Brutus on the Ides of March so many years ago, it changed his life dramatically. I would say… The post Who remembers E.T. for the Atari 2600? appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

A team from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University has developed a foot-pressure-sensing insole to detect Parkinson’s disease. Using our tiny computers, they managed to create something discreet that can monitor people as they walk around in their own shoes. What is Parkinson’s disease? Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that mostly affects people aged… The post Foot pressure sensors detect Parkinson’s disease appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Today we’re announcing two brand-new, fantastic, free online courses for educators in the USA. And to kickstart their learning journey, we are giving qualified US-based educators the chance to get a free Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller hardware kit. This is all thanks to our partners at Infosys Foundation USA, who are committed to expanding access… The post Free computer science courseware and hardware for American educators appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

We’re super excited to announce that the European Astro Pi Challenge is back for another year of amazing space-based coding adventures. This time we are delighted to tell you that we’re upgrading the Raspberry Pi computers on the International Space Station (ISS) and adding new hardware to expand the range of experiments that young people… The post We’re sending Raspberry Pi computers to space for the European Astro Pi Challenge appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Researchers from the University of Trento have developed a Raspberry Pi-powered device that automatically detects pests in fruit orchards so they can get sorted out before they ruin a huge amount of crop. There’s no need for farmer intervention either, saving their time as well as their harvest. The researchers devised an embedded system that… The post Save orchards from pests with Raspberry Pi appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

With Intel attempting to get into 3D gaming graphics again, Custom PC’s Ben Hardwidge looks at the time it failed to take on 3dfx in the late 1990s. Back in the late 1990s, I worked at a computer shop in Derby, where we sold components over the counter, while pointing to a sign that said ‘components… The post Remembering Intel 740 | Custom PC #218 appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Maker Mellow was inspired by watching the progress of NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover and wanted in on the interplanetary robot scene. Their first idea was to build a scale version of Perseverance, but when their partner stepped in to suggest that starting smaller might be a little easier, Zippy was born. Hardware Raspberry Pi Zero… The post Zippy the Raspberry Pi Zero-powered mini Mars Rover appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

We’ve seen a few innovative album art displays using Raspberry Pi, from LEGO minifigures playing their own music to this NFC-powered record player. Maker Kyle Johnson was looking for a fun project combining Raspberry Pi and Adafruit’s LED matrix, and has created the latest cool album art display to grace our blog. Hardware Raspberry Pi… The post Raspberry Pi displays album art on LED matrix appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

An artist and maker, Geeky Faye describes themself as a one-man band, tackling whole areas of creation. In the latest issue of The MagPi Magazine, Rob Zwetsloot meets the cosplaying polymath. Having multiple hobbies and interests can be fun, but they can sometimes get on top of you. Allie, also known online as Geeky Faye,… The post Meet Geeky Faye: maker, artist, designer, and filmmaker appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Understanding the Pi Pico Pinout is vital to getting the best out of Pi Pico. The Raspberry Pi Pico is a microcontroller board that makes use of the RP2040 chip developed by the designers of the Raspberry Pi. The Pico can accept 0.1″ pin-headers which can be soldered to the board as required. Pi Pico [...] The post Pi Pico Pinout and Power Pins appeared first on Raspberry Pi Spy.

The Arduino IDE is a vital tool for flashing Arduino devices. You can install Arduino IDE on Raspberry Pi OS using these easy steps. You could use apt: but this results in the installation of Arduino IDE version 1.6. This is an extremely outdated version which makes it difficult to use or impossible to flash [...] The post Install Arduino IDE on Raspberry Pi appeared first on Raspberry Pi Spy.
