    I've been hacking away lately, and I'm now proud to show off my newest project - The Icepi Zero! In case you don't know what an FPGA is, this phrase summarizes it perfectly: "FPGAs work like this. You don't tell them what to do, you tell them what to BE." You don't program them, but you rewrite the circuits they contain! So I've made a PCB that carries an ECP5 FPGA, and has a raspberry pi zero footprint. It also has a few improvements! Notably the 2 USB b ports are replaced with 3 USB C ports, and it has multiple LEDs. This board can output HDMI, read from a uSD, use a SDRAM and much more.…

    This is Jon from Pimoroni. We're a UK hardware start-up that grew from the popularity of our Pibow case for Raspberry Pi. We manufacture all of our products in our workshop in Sheffield, UK. Over the past year we've really started to set out our stall in the digital Maker world with hobbyist electronics accessories and 28 days ago we launched our biggest project: Flotilla. Flotilla is a range of smart, friendly, and affordable modules which you connect together to create amazing projects which sense and react to the world around them. Designed to take away the fear and uncertainty from…

    I am not sure if this is fits the HN community, but I am posting it here if people are interested. This is the current iteration of the car: http://i.imgur.com/ko8YBh.jpg Details: I wrote a simple android app that streams the accelerometer data from the phone to the pi over a simple socket. The pi then uses this data to drive the DC motor and the servo motor. Tilting the phone to control the car feels very natural. In this[0] pic you can see the wifi dongle I've used. I am using Adafruit Occidental v0.2[1] as my OS because it has support for my wifi dongle. It also makes some hardware…
