Introducing the 2GB Raspberry Pi 5
Raspberry Pi 5 2GB built on a cost-optimised D0 stepping of the BCM2712 application processor, and priced at just $50.
In what could be called a "Good Monday Morning", Raspberry Pi have excitedly release t...
So, after carrying this idea around since October last year, I finally got my act together and designed/built my RPI Pico RP2040 M.2 dev-board. It is a M.2 2230 card with A and E key and has as many communication interfaces to the M.2 side as possibl...
I wanted to try to use the new RP2530 microcontroller, but the 'normal' board, the Pi Pico 2, is out of stock for a week or two.
However, there are Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 (what an awkward name) boards, and they were available. I thought they were a dro...
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 builds on the huge success of the original Raspberry Pi Pico product and its derivatives, which were launched in 2021 and 2022. It is powered by the brand-new RP2350 microcontroller platform, designed by Raspberry Pi

The Seeed XIAO RP2040 has a NeoPixel. This project uses the Pico C SDK, and the PIO, to animate it.
This is not my project. I adapted hutscape's NeoPixel project for the Pico. These are the changes:

The Pi Pico Eurocard is a development board for the Raspberry Pico, designed by shabaz. In this post, I set it up to develop with a Seeed XIAO RP2040 .
Functionality:
Program and debug it with the (onboard) PicoProbe

I ended up messing up my RCA Windows tablet and It wouldn't boot back up and I salvage the little motherboard from it. I'm not sure if there is a way to recover or put Kali Linux on it. It has four gigs of RAM 64 gigs of internal memory two ...

What is Pi Day?
"Pi Day is observed on March 14 (the 3rd month) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π, and it was first celebrated in the United States."- h...
Happy Pi Day!
To celebrate, we're giving you the chance to win a Raspberry Pi 5!
'How?' I hear you ask...Well, quite simply, we want you to tell us what you would use the Raspberry Pi 5 for in your next project! Considering the new Pi com...
If you are stuck with a crappy laptop or cursed with windows OS with misconfigured c/c++ setup, use this repo as a template and create a workspace. All the files will be copied into your new workspace. From there follow the setup instruction to insta...
