I knew it had to happen some day: the Raspberry Pi goes back in time by the addition of a vacuum tube. Pi2Media (a division of Pi2Design) have pulled it off, but with a twist. They say their 503HTA Hybrid Tube Amp HAT is the first tube amp specifically designed for any of the 40-pin versions of the Raspberry Pi SBC family, giving it that “Sweet Tube Sound”. This HAT allows the RPi to drive headphones from 32 – 300 ohms with ease and fidelity.

Every day new, small computer boards appear, most of which disappear as quickly as they came. The latest board that came to our attention is the LattePanda, a small $65 Windows 10 computer for which a Kickstarter campaign is currently going on. Excited?

It’s only relatively recently that Intel has been producing x86-based, multi-cored processors with a specification suitable for use in credit-card sized development boards. The UP board uses the same form factor...

ZeroPi is a development board designed for motor (including stepper) and servo intensive applications such as 3D printer controllers, CNC machine control and robotics. The board itself...

As you probably know, our friends at Matrix TSL (creators of Flowcode!) have recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring to life their brand new Formula AllCode, a Bluetooth-enabled buggy with pretty much all the sensors and peripherals you can think of. In this video, it's creator, Ben Rowland, details its technical specs and explains what you can do with it, and most important: What can you learn!

After a successful funding campaign on Kickstarter earlier this year the low-cost RasPiO Duino board is now in production and available to purchase. The RasPiO Duino is a small development board with similar functionality to an Arduino Uno. Once it is plugged onto a Raspberry Pi the system forms...

The team at Dexter Industries ran a successful Kickstarter campaign last year to fund their $30 Arduberry hat which sits atop a Raspberry Pi and allows you to plug Arduino Shields to the RPi environment. The company is now shipping the Arduberry. It can be programmed from the Arduino IDE running on ...

Owners of the Raspberry Pi B+ board now have the option to connect to a VGA monitor without the need for a HDMI to VGA adapter. The VGA signals are generated natively using hardware GPIOs of the RPi. The bad news is...

A bunch of Raspberry Pi enthusiasts have fashioned a laptop shell using a 3D printer to house a Raspberry Pi, 13.3” 1366 x 768 HD TFT LCD screen, keyboard, WiFi, touchpad and a battery to give up to 8 hrs operating time.

Frustrated by the lack of an affordable, portable hi-res screen for the Raspberry Pi, Alex Eames partnered up with Dave Mellor of Cyntech to develop the HDMIPi; a simple 9” low-cost screen with a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. The Raspberry Pi can display full (1920 x 1080) HD which is fine if ...
