Devin a graduate in aeronautics and unmanned aerial systems has created a new Raspberry Pi Cube Carrier board with integrated Serial, i2c, and power from the carrier board to the raspberry pi3-4. It had a 7pin GPS connector, one UAVCAN connector, and 2 serial connectors. Devin explains more about the inspiration behind the Raspberry Pi board which is now available to back via Kickstarter with earlybird pledges available from $35 or roughly £28 and worldwide shipping expected to take place during May 2020.
“One of my biggest frustrations has been the wires it takes to connect a Raspberry Pi to a Proficnc CNC cube Autopilot. There is not a good way of connecting them together that remains clean and low profile. On many of my own projects this has presented a problem for me because all the parts next to each other take up more room than i have. By connecting a proficnc autopilot to a raspberry pi as a companion computer, it allows for a powerful combination capable of running machine learning, integrating ROS, object detection, and many other things.”
