New Raspberry Pi “B+” uses less power, has more USB ports. The Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer for hobbyists and developers, has been generally unchanged in the two-plus years since it launched, but today a new piece of hardware goes on sale.
The updated "B+" model has the same Broadcom BCM2835 processor as the original and still has 512MB RAM, but it uses less power, has more connectivity options, and features other upgrades over the previous Raspberry Pi Model B. Here are the key improvements, as described by Raspberry Pi creator Eben Upton in today's announcement: More GPIO. The GPIO header has grown to 40 pins while retaining the same pinout for the first 26 pins as the Model B.More USB. We now have 4 USB 2.0 ports, compared to 2 on the Model B, and better hotplug and overcurrent behaviour.Micro SD. "This isn’t a 'Raspberry Pi 2' but rather the final evolution of the original Raspberry Pi," Upton wrote. The B+ will be sold through Element 14 and RS Components.

In the kitchen there was a small TV wall mounted however the TV itself was faulty so I was wondering, what should I do with this wall bracket since I didn’t really want a TV in the kitchen area. Then it dawned on me, instead of using a paper calendar with tiny little boxes to write things in I want my Google calendar on the wall. PiFace – PiFace Blog. Use a Raspberry Pi to Automate Your Blinds and Air Conditioner. Build Your Own Arduino-Powered Car Tracking System. “Most powerful” Arduino ever has ARM Cortex-A8 chip, runs “full Linux” The Pen Test Drop Box Distro for the Raspberry Pi. Microduino: Arduino in your pocket, small, stackable, smart by Microduino Studio. A small sized board that packs a great punch!
The Microduino series is a 100% Arduino compatible open source hardware, compatible with Arduino IDE development environment and existing Arduino sketches. Microduino is small. Its size is about a quarter (25.40mm X 27.94mm / 1.0inch X 1.1inch), much smaller than the original Arduino board. $199, 4.2” computer is Intel’s first Raspberry Pi competitor. With the Raspberry Pi, Arduino Due, and BeagleBone, the world is full of cheap, tiny computers that can be used by creative developers in everything from robots to space flight.
One thing these platforms have in common is an ARM processor. Now they have some competition from Intel with its "MinnowBoard," a $199 computer in the form of a 4.2" x 4.2" board with an Intel Atom processor. The first 500 MinnowBoards rolled off the production line a few months ago and sold out within a week, Senior Embedded Systems Engineer David Anders of CircuitCo told Ars at the LinuxCon conference on Tuesday. CircuitCo, also the maker of the BeagleBoard and BeagleBone computers, made the MinnowBoard after being approached by Intel, which wanted to build an x86-based open hardware platform. A new MinnowBoard production run of 5,000 boards began this week.
How to Clone Your Raspberry Pi SD Card for Super Easy Reinstallations. Engineers build Raspberry Pi supercomputer. (Phys.org)—Computational Engineers at the University of Southampton have built a supercomputer from 64 Raspberry Pi computers and Lego.
The team, led by Professor Simon Cox, consisted of Richard Boardman, Andy Everett, Steven Johnston, Gereon Kaiping, Neil O'Brien, Mark Scott and Oz Parchment, along with Professor Cox's son James Cox (aged 6) who provided specialist support on Lego and system testing. Une bonne alternative au Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi's $35 Linux computer on track to launch later this month. The first model of the Raspberry Pi Foundation's low-cost Linux computer will likely be available for purchase later this month.
The organization announced today that manufacturing on the first batch is set to complete on February 20. The $35 computer, which is a bare board the size of a deck of playing cards, has a 700MHz ARM11 CPU and 256MB of RAM. A second model with lower specs will eventually be released for $25. According to a statement issued today by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the $35 model will probably be available for purchase by the end of the month unless there are additional production delays.

Gizmo Board, un Raspberry Pi aux stéroïdes. Hard Choices: Build Your Own Steam Box. By Jeremy Laird on March 18th, 2013 at 1:30 pm.
Why wait for Gabe Newell to wax his generous whiskers and turn up fashionably late to the launch party? Build your own Steam Box today. Or perhaps getting a pre-order in for Xi3′s today-it’s-official-tomorrow-it-ain’t Piston is a good idea? Yes, there have been some odd goings on. But all this PC-as-games-console jazz does throw up several interesting questions. The PC inside your phone: A guide to the system-on-a-chip. A desktop PC used to need a lot of different chips to make it work. You had the big parts: the CPU that executed most of your code and the GPU that rendered your pretty 3D graphics.
But there were a lot of smaller bits too: a chip called the northbridge handled all communication between the CPU, GPU, and RAM, while the southbridge handled communication between the northbridge and other interfaces like USB or SATA. Separate controller chips for things like USB ports, Ethernet ports, and audio were also often required if this functionality wasn't already integrated into the southbridge itself. Power of Arduino and Raspberry Pi combined in $99 Android/Linux PC. The Raspberry Pi is all the rage for hobbyists in search of cheap, credit card-sized computers that can run a full PC operating system. Arduino boards have been around nearly a decade, meanwhile, powering robots and all sorts of other creative electronics projects.
Now, a project called UDOO ("you do") seeks to bring the best elements of Raspberry Pi and Arduino together into a single mini-PC that can run either Android or Linux. "With UDOO, we want to combine the winning characteristics of Arduino and Raspberry Pi in one single board. For your robot-building needs, $45 BeagleBone Linux PC goes on sale. The market for cheap single-board computers is becoming one of the most surprisingly competitive spaces in the tech industry.
On the heels of the million-selling Raspberry Pi, a variety of companies and small groups started creating their own tiny computers for programmers and hobbyists. Today we have a new entrant that may provide the best bang for the buck for many types of users. It's called the BeagleBone Black and it's the latest in the line of "Beagle" devices that first appeared in 2008, courtesy of Texas Instruments.
On sale now for $45, BeagleBone Black sports a 1GHz Sitara AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 processor from Texas Instruments, up from the 720MHz processor used in the previous $90 BeagleBone released in 2011. (Edit: While the purchase link is live, the device may not be available until tomorrow morning. Beagle's "open" hardware philosophy means all of the chips and designs are available to the public, so anyone with the right equipment and knowledge could make their own. 11 Arduino projects that require major hacking skills—or a bit of insanity. Raspberry Pi has received the lion's share of attention devoted to cheap, single-board computers in the past year.
But long before the Pi was a gleam in its creators' eyes, there was the Arduino. Unveiled in 2005, Arduino boards don't have the CPU horsepower of a Raspberry Pi. They don't run a full PC operating system either. Arduino isn't obsolete, though—in fact, its plethora of connectivity options makes it the better choice for many electronics projects. While the Pi has 26 GPIO (general purpose input/output) pins that can be programmed to do various tasks, the Arduino DUE (the latest Arduino released in October 2012) has 54 digital I/O pins, 12 analog input pins, and two analog output pins.
