The Raspberry Pi development system now has a camera module, available via the distributors RS and element 14 (and via the online Raspberry Pi store eventually).
Priced at $25 online dollars, it, contains a 5-megapixel CMOS image sensor from OmniVision built on 1.4 micron backside illumination pixel architecture…
It seems there’ll always be Amiga, constantly re-invented in new form – here comes the Amiga Pi, employing the Raspberry Pi as the engine for some antique personal computing.
Check out this Gadget Master’s website » He shares some photos, and Amiga/Pi aficionados should note that he is…
I often think I don’t write about striking new gadgets enough in Gadget Master (!) and here’s one to file under pure-play “Gadget” (no home build or customisation here). But I’m not quite sure what to think about it – it’s a telephoto lens add-on for…
“MagPi! Get yer MagPi! Issue 12!”
Issue 12 of the Raspberry Pi magazine The MagPi is hot off the press.
The May 2013 issue includes features on making your own case, a breakdown on the various operating systems available for the Pi, coding and decoding messages in Scratch, and printing…
Thanks to Steve Bush, our Technical Editor, for flagging this one. It’s a How To guide for making an “invisibility mask” for video cameras. No we are not talking about bending light to appear transparent, but simply a light source (high-brightness infrared (IR) LEDs) that is invisible to…
Gadget Masters must be interested in the new BeageleBoard, the BeagleBone Black.
Whereas the BeagleBoard and BeagleBoard xM were more like a desktop computer, the BeagleBone was a little bit more focussed on makers and robotics, Jason Kridner, Beagle guru at TI, told Electronics Weekly. Now, with the BeagleBone Black…
Time once more to consider which posts have most clicked with your fellow Gadget Master readers… What has been most read in the month of April?
Topics covered include: an Udoo board, LED cubes, Android and Lego, an electric skateboard…
Taking it in reverse order, for maximum suspense:
10. Udoo…
Liquid Robotics has announced the arrival of Wave Glider SV3, which it describes as “the world’s first hybrid wave and solar propelled unmanned ocean robot”.
What do you think of this one? Development are attracting a lot of attention in the wake of the Raspberry Pi, here’s the UDOO single-board mini PC. The open source system, which is still under development, can support both Android and Linux operating systems.
You might have spotted the connection straight away, it’s Mindstorms. To be precise, the EV3 robotics platform will come with Android and iOS support.
I’m very pleased to announce the winner of the most recent Gadget Master competition. Up for grabs were two copies of the excellent book, which I recommend myself, the Raspberry Pi User Guide.
Happy to flag there’s a new issue of MagPi, the magazine for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts. The team have reached #11 with the April issue.
