The developer and mastermind behind the Needle Nose Pliers blog is using a Raspberry Pi Pico to drive a custom audio spectrum analyzer. This project uses the Pico to process audio input and output a visualization of the sound it detects to a small OLED screen in real-time. This project is essentially the same sort…
When Apple launched the Mac Studio and Studio Display, it discontinued the 27-inch 5K iMac.

If you thought building homemade computer chips was impossible, you would be wrong. Sam Zeloof has just made his second homemade silicon integrated circuit featuring 1200 transistors, by using the same techniques as Intel did with its first CPUs in the 1970s. Zeloof’s story is quite impressive: Fe started building his first chip in 2018…
There’s a small, but interesting cottage industry in Raspberry Pi-powered macro keypads you can use to add some custom functions to your PC. A few years ago, Pimoroni launched its Keybow, which relies on a Raspberry Pi Zero but you need to wait for it to boot every time you plug it in and you…
