I am interested using Raspberry Pi computers and other micro computers and microcontrollers.

Generally working through a list of projects that I would like to do that only ever seems to get longer, while my time to do them seems to get shorter.

I program in python and post the results of my projects on my website for anybody who may be interested. It's good to share.

Your Kindle's not obsolete, it just needs a jailbreak - and I'll show you how it's done

You can transform your old Kindle - even a bricked device - into the ultimate open-source reader. Here's how.

Remember AIY Projects? 'cos I'm not sure #RaspberryPi or Google do - but if you've got an AIY Voice Bonnet gathering dust, a third-party software refresh means it'll now work on Raspberry Pi OS Trixie.

Got a Raspberry Pi AIY Voice Bonnet Gathering Dust? This Software Update Gets It Working Again

Abandoned by both Raspberry Pi and Google, the AIY Voice Bonnet is now compatible with the latest Raspberry Pi OS.

The Artemis space craft seems to have a smiling hippo painted on it! #artemis #orion #nasa #moon

My therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @cdnspace Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

Velxio is an open-source, self-hosted Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32 simulator

Velxio is an open-source, self-hosted simulator for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi boards that works directly in your web browser. You can drag-and-drop boards, connect components and modules, write and run code in Arduino or Python, and access the serial console, all without hardware. If it looks similar to what the Wokwi simulator has to offer, it's because Velxio was inspired by it and even integrates the AVR8 CPU emulator, RP2040 emulator, and QEMU fork for ESP32 Xtensa emulation from the Wokwi project. But the key difference is that Velxio can be self-hosted, although there's also an online demo. Velxio currently supports 19 targets across five architectures AVR8 (ATmega / ATtiny) Arm Cortex-M0+ (Raspberry Pi RP2040) RISC-V RV32IMC/EC (ESP32-C3 / CH32V003) Xtensa LX6/LX7 (ESP32 / ESP32-S3 via QEMU) Arm Cortex-A53 (Raspberry Pi 3 Linux via QEMU) The project also offers 48 components. The developer mentions that additional features compared to

I've been working on a simple font that I can build into a #MicroPython LCD driver to make it super easy for beginners to use! 🤩

Here's a view of all of the glyphs, and a second pic of the font doing work in a bar graph module I'm working on for BEAPER Pico and BEAPER Nano. 😎

My Automated Access Point script, good for headerless linux devices.

Auto switches between a wifi Network when the signal is weak and then disconnects to an AccessPoint + more features.

Also has an optional Web App so you can connect to new wifi networks or activate the access point without using ssh
