I've acquired a Hyperkeyboardpi[0] kit, not yet built. But essentially its a keyboard add on for a raspberry pi which when paired with a Hyperpixel 4.0 touchscreen from Pimoroni makes a little handheld terminal. It's designed for

It would be ace to be able to walk into a RPi shop and be able to purchase LEDs, resistors, OLED screens, ESP8266 modules, breadboards etc. Maplin was a great shop and open on the weekends was often a lifesaver.

This guy must have been doing this at exactly the same time as me. I used shairport-sync and whilst I eventually got it working last week it wasn't plain sailing. Getting the service setup to start upon powerup was a real pain in the a

Yep, years ago, we needed to call the NHS (out of hours doctor) and looked it up on Google, first result (sponsored) turned out to be a premium rate pay per minute redirect number. That turned out to be a £90, 30 minute call when we got our

It seems the surface is broken down into 10cm wide pieces. This is rather narrow, not even wide enough for an A4 sheet to sit on without crossing a join. And how are the slats held down?
