Pi Day is a special occasion for people all around the world (your preferred date format notwithstanding), and I love seeing all the ways that makers, students, and educators celebrate. This year at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, we’re embracing Pi Day as a time to support young learners and creators in our community. Today, we… The post Pi Day at the Raspberry Pi Foundation appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Hey folks, Rob from The MagPi here! I hope you’ve been doing well. Despite how it feels, a brand-new March is just around the corner. Here at The MagPi, we like to celebrate March with our annual #MonthOfMaking event, where we want to motivate you to get making. But what should I make? Making what?… The post #MonthOfMaking is back in The MagPi 103! appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

In our brand-new issue of Hello World magazine, Hayley Leonard from our team gives a primer on how computing educators can apply the Universal Design for Learning framework in their lessons. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for considering how tools and resources can be used to reduce barriers and support all learners.… The post Universal design for learning in computing | Hello World #15 appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

FUZIX is an old-school Unix clone that was initially written for the 8-bit Zilog Z80 processor and released by Alan Cox in 2014. At one time one of the most active Linux developers, Cox stepped back from kernel development in 2013. While the initial announcement has been lost in the mists because he made it… The post How to get started with FUZIX on Raspberry Pi Pico appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

One of the harsh lessons we learned last year was that far too many young people still don’t have a computer for learning at home. There has always been a digital divide; the pandemic has just put it centre-stage. The good news is that the cost of solving this problem is now trivial compared to… The post Closing the digital divide with Raspberry Pi computers appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

We shared Dennis Mellican’s overly effective anti-burglary project last month. Now he’s back with something a whole lot more musical and mini. Inspiration Dennis was inspired by other jukebox projects that use Raspberry Pi, NFC readers, and tags to make music play. Particularly this one by Mark Hank, which we shared on the blog last… The post Raspberry Pi makes LEGO minifigures play their own music appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

This twinkly tutorial is fresh from the latest issue of HackSpace magazine, out now. Adding flashing lights to a project is a great way to make it a little more visually appealing, and WS2812B LEDs (sometimes known as NeoPixels) are a great way to do that. They have their own mini communications protocol, so you… The post NeoPixel fireflies jar with Raspberry Pi | HackSpace 40 appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Jim Bennett from Microsoft, who showed you all how to get Visual Studio Code up and running on Raspberry Pi last week, is back to explain how to use VS Code for remote development on a headless Raspberry Pi. Like a lot of Raspberry Pi users, I like to run my Raspberry Pi as a… The post Coding on Raspberry Pi remotely with Visual Studio Code appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

When we heard that James Dawson had rescued a load of well-worn Raspberry Pi 1 Model B and Model A computers from eBay, refurbished them, and sold them on, we felt warm and fuzzy knowing that some of our oldest devices would be finding new homes. But the feels really hit when we learned that… The post Raspberry Pi 1 Model B units brought back to life for charity appeared first on Raspberry Pi.

Do you remember the Danger Shed? New Orleans-based Raspberry Pi-powered home brewing monitoring set up in a… shed? Well, Patrick Murphy and his brewing crew are back with a new toy. What is it? It’s called Keg Punk – inventory software written in Python, specifically for running on Raspberry Pi and the 7″ Raspberry Pi… The post Check beer stock with Keg Punk on Raspberry Pi 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.
