Never had one of these in my youth, but I set one up at the @R_I_C_M Learning Lab recently (with a Spectre GCR too), and it's an absolutely amazing machine. I had access to a friend's Mega ST but the Mega STE really ups the game.

This free game lets you slowly upgrade a scruffy tinkering garage into a professional maker lab. If you’ve played Overcooked, you know the shape of it. Except instead of a kitchen, you’re running a makerspace. raspberrypi.com/news/from-ga…

From garage tinkerer to professional Maker in Chief, now as a game - Raspberry Pi

FLOPPSY Is Back on the Menu 💾 We had a cool floppy reader/emulator project underway. Then we moved, dealt with a tariff mess, and created a new, very cute human. A modest scheduling interruption. Now we’re back with a nice, hopefully final revision. FLOPPSY is designed to connect to or emulate Shugart PC, Mac, and Apple Disk ][ floppy drives. Yes, we have an Apple index sensor input. We know what you were about to ask. We added a 2.8" color touchscreen and a USB host connector for some Very Interesting Capabilities. We also whipped up top and bottom plates, and the whole thing is 3.5" floppy-sized. Small enough to look familiar. Considerably more complicated inside. 🔧 Read. Capture. Emulate. There’s plenty of magnetic history worth keeping, and we’re getting back to the hardware that can help. FLOPPSY is up next ... and so is the next chapter of AdaBox. We’ll be announcing Club AdaBox later this week. 👀

I’m watching the Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings cartoon with my kids. Hadn’t since I was 8 or 9. I can’t stop thinking about how seeing it on opening night in 1978 as a teenage stoner would have been one of the all-time peak experiences produced by Western Civilization.

Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton: ‘I’m an omni-geek’

The British tech leader on coding as the modern form of literacy, his scepticism of AI evangelists — and why ‘the p(doom) is probably Russia’

The SidecarTridge Multi-device is now officially Powered by Raspberry Pi. Which means a board whose entire purpose is to serve 40 year old computers that most people assume are dead has passed review and sits in the same catalogue as proper industrial products. Thanks @Raspberry_Pi for letting me into such a select club. I promise to behave. And thanks to the Atari community for dragging this thing into corners of the spec nobody sane would visit. raspberrypi.com/for-industry…

In this tutorial, we’ll hook up a potentiometer to an MCP3008 to control the brightness of an LED by turning the knob. We’ll then add a second potentiometer and create an internet radio, using the two potentiometers to switch the station and adjust the volume. This tutorial features in Raspberry Pi Press’ book, Simple electronics with GPIO Zero, which has been updated for the latest Raspberry Pi devices. 👉 raspberrypi.com/news/build-a…
