Raspberry Pi 5 docker swarm cluster using pimoroni NVME bases. Total of 10TB SSD storage, 20 cores, 40GB memory and PoE.

That's a @Pimoroni NVMe BASE DUO fitted with two 500Gb NVMe SSDs. With the latest firmware installed on an Pi5 it can now boot PiOS from an NVMe SSD on this board. The net-install of PiOS just works, it's almost too easy :-)

I'm not sure it should be encouraged but if you really want to put an RP2040 on the PCI Express bus, you could easily do it with an interface chip like the CH367.

We got LED noodles! Get them while they're warm and strangely alluring! This is in no way related to Paul Beech 星熊 wanting a bunch to dangle around Electromagnetic Field!

I have some NFC-enabled full color PCB (made by JLCPCB) business c̵a̵r̵d̵s̵ coins with me at #OHS2024 if anyone wants to see them in person 😊

So maybe kinda the wrong badge but my pimoroni Badger 2040 W can now show the Electromagnetic Field schedule like it's 2022! The intention is that it will refresh every 10 mins or so and always have now/next on display without needing to reconnect to WiFi/use power etc.

The 6yo and I are going to Electromagnetic Field. We’re going to run some workshops building and fighting vegetable-based robots using TheCraftyRobot #smartibot . Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

You can now sponsor Electromagnetic Field through our online shop! emfcamp.org/tickets/sponsor

No faffing about with paperwork or invoices - just a quick way to sponsor a small amount and help make EMF even more amazing.

Oh, and we accept corporate credit cards...

Jon is taking a week out next month to walk/run 280km/170mi from Porto in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. He's raising money to get disadvantaged young people into STEM careers - please share! Support the cause and find out more here: givestar.io/gs/seejonrun

You have until 2pm tomorrow to order a Tildagon badge - after that we can't guarantee more until 2026!

Order yours here: emfcamp.org/tickets/badge

This badge will be reusable at the next EMF. You can read more about our new approach to badges on the blog: blog.emfcamp.org/2024/03/18/til…

#PiWars has officially left the building. Thank you, everyone, who has contributed in any way to this year's competition. Your support and energies have been amazing. With very best wishes from all of us!

We urgently need sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions.

Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps!

If you have a pimoroni Tufty 2040, there is a ready-to-use UF2 file that you can flash to get everything: emulator and included games.

I just released the RP2040 ZX Spectrum emulator on Github:

More work needed, but it's a start :)

Prepping for the DigiKey workshop with Raspberry Jam Berlin at hackaday Europe. Any resemblance to a kids’ birthday party is incidental.
