Raspberry Pi’s Post

🚨 Meet Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our new $5 microcontroller board, on sale now 🚨 The next big tiny thing, built using RP2350: a new high-performance, secure microcontroller designed here at Raspberry Pi. With a higher core clock speed, twice the memory, more powerful Arm cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature uplift, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Pico series. Here's Eben to tell you all about it: https://lnkd.in/etsWNZwr

We're in Kigali, Rwanda this week showcasing the power of single board computers, microcontrollers and semiconductors in solving a wide array of local challenges across the African continent. We'll also be discussing Raspberry Pi’s use of these technologies across key industrial sectors. We are hosting an invite-only event on Friday with the Rwandan Ministry of Information and Communication Technology. If you’re interested in attending, please submit your details in this form: https://lnkd.in/e4S8ve9y and a member of our team will be in touch to inform you if an invite has been extended to you together with any pertinent details about attending.

Hands up if you're going to DEF CON in Las Vegas next week 🙋♀️ If I were you, I'd come and find us in the Embedded Systems Village to check out the super fun hacking challenge we've devised with Hextree... what could it BE?!

The home computer boom of the 1980s brought with it now-iconic machines. Machines that would go on to inspire a generation, such as the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Commodore 64. 'The Computers That Made Britain' tells the story of those computers – and what happened behind the scenes during their creation. With dozens of new interviews discover the tales of missed deadlines, technical faults, business interference, and the unheralded geniuses behind all of it. Geniuses who brought to the UK everything from the Dragon 32 and ZX81, through to the Amstrad CPC 464 and the Commodore Amiga. Better still, it's on sale!

Hey, did you know that there are over 100 Raspberry Pi computers inside Brompton’s factory? We're deployed in various solutions ranging from pre-assembly-line and production-line monitoring to air quality control and more. Makes sense because Brompton Bicycle makes those iconic folding bikes and Pi Towers is in Cambridge, UK and we have *all the bikes* here.

We were *very* pleased with our mention on BBC Radio 4's The Bottom Line today... 🏆
