Pico Arcade Mini is made from low-cost, readily available parts from eBay and similar retailers for around £30 ($50). It uses a unique 3D Printed Circuit Board (3D-PCB) that eliminates connectors, fussy wiring, confusion over where wires go and makes any project super slim and compact. Plus, it’s made from ‘bog standard’ PLA with no […]
Being a avid aviation buff and pilot, and wanting to learn how the E-Paper display worked I set out to create a METAR Display. It snowballed into a full blown application with multiple display layouts to choose from. This project uses the 7×5 3-color E-Paper display available from Waveshare. The 3rd color added a lot of

It’s been a while since I’ve created any noteworthy projects, but here is something that will hopefully turn some heads. I’ve been tinkering with the Raspberry Pi 4 in the last year or so and have noticed that there aren’t any great cooling products out there for this device. To get the greatest performance out

Professional quality seismograph, fully open source, based on a Raspberry Pi, with 1 to 4 components, able to record earthquakes or other seismic events, either natural (rockfall, glacier movement) or man-made (train detection, vehicle detection). The seismograph works either autonomously in the field, or can be used as an Iris seismic station recording mini-seeds and uploading
I recently build a Raspberry Pi cluster in a custom case running K3S Kubernetes. A lot of positive feedback after sharing some images of the final design, and people asking questions about the build. I decided to share the process of making it and my thoughts during the build. Hopefully this will answer some of the questions and
