My wife and I were discussing expensive purchases.

She "reminded" me I have 5 bikes and I lost the argument.

@radxa is about to launch the ROCK 5C, the latest low cost SBC from Radxa, it will have up to 32GB of RAM and Pi 5 compatible PCIe connector.

No info on their website yet.

Planned obsolescence. Their goal is to not have any apps work on an old device.

The Radxa X2L is a weird SBC, but in a good way. X86 system and a Raspberry Pi chip on the same board.

You all might not know this but I created and manage https://rpilocator.com

I'm looking for ideas for what to turn this tool into since most @Raspberry_Pi boards are widely available.

Pls help me shape the future of rpilocator!!

PCIe HATs are getting out of hand. Genius or crazy?

Getting more Pico W air quality monitor boards made. Hoping to get this batch done before holiday season shopping is over.

I x-rayed a Raspberry Pi 5 to reveal the secrets hidden within... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoTSSTfPXEA

@geerlingguy @lina Yeah, really waiting to find out more about the CM5.

The SoC chip is quite a bit bigger than the CM4. So many questions.

Thermals will be important on the CM5 though.

Passive cooling the Pi 5 is cool!

For the folks that do small PCB runs at home, how do you deal with fumes?

I'm using the garage but it's getting cold

@poleguy I've been looking at similar ones on Amazon. Is that what people use indoors?

makerbymistake,
@makerbymistake@mastodon.social avatar

@rasterweb @poleguy Thanks but these carbon filters don't really do much to protect your health and to keep good air quality indoors. They are fine if you are just fixing a single board but not for a small production runs

In case you are wondering what 120 Pico W look like.

Here's the camping setup that I used on my recent bikepacking trip. I'll need to make a few changes to this if I use it again.

Any good accounting resources for small makers selling hardware and/or stuff they make in the US?

New video just dropped. Pi 5 running Ubuntu 23.10 is buttery smooth.
