MIDI controller keyboards are great because they let you control any synthesizer you plug them into.

cramming a RPi A+ and a retro-pie installation into a classic gameboy case With the acquisition of a PiZero today, the project will now focus around using that. It’s more or less the same spec as the A+ but half the size and with double the RAM (YAY!) There are a few extra things to think about
Had too much self-quarantine? [Sharathnaik] had, so he decided to build a robot companion named Ewon. Using a Raspberry Pi, Ewon isn’t a robot that moves around, but rather an expressive Google assistant. Using some servo-driven ears and a display, Ewon reacts to you based on keywords you use in your queries. For example, it might
