Beginners' Guides
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has soft-launched a whole series of guides for using the Raspberry Pi and various add-ons. The guides are as follows:
Great resources, well worth reading for beginners.
Pi Cap review
Over on my blog, you can read a review of Bare Conductive's Pi Cap add-on board. The board has the following:
- 12 conductive crocodile clip-compatible connection points
- High quality audio output via a 3.5mm jack
- A user-programmable RGB LED
- A tiny button
- 7 unused GPIO pins broken out
- A prototyping area
You can read the full (very positive) review of the board here and you can buy it from us here.
Sega Genesis
Michael Lyons from Florida has taken a second-hand Radica Sega Genesis system (which he bought off eBay for a dollar), prised it apart, removed the innards and replaced them with a Raspberry Pi 3. And all in one sitting! He’s recorded himself doing it and you can see the process in the video above.
