John Alexander at the Shropshire Linux User Group (SLUG) has been busy with an arduino compatible IO extension board for the Raspberry PI. It looks like a very nice way for getting the Raspberry PI to control low level peripheries. Nice PCB milling too! Now if only I could get my hands on a damn Raspberry PI! (looks like they haven’t managed to get one too :/ )

Keep up the good work John

From one of the premier robot labs, UPenn, comes some mad music generation. Quadcopters performing James Bond theme tune. Urgh, that’s so awesome it hurts me. Seems like the batteries could not last the whole piece though :p. 2M hits so far, further confirming the only thing people want robots to do is entertain us, becuase they are so damn good at it.
