The Argon40 ONE UP is a modular laptop powered by a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, and according to this review, it's pretty good at what it does. But due to rising component prices you can get a much faster laptop with an Intel or AMD chip for less money. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/the-first-good-raspberry-pi-laptop/#fn:1 #Argon40OneUp #Argon40 #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPiCM5 #JeffGeerling

Nouvelle hausse des prix des Rasberry Pi liée à la RAM
Et c'est reparti pour un tour, les Raspberry Pi poursuivent leur hausse avec un nouveau bond de leurs prix pour faire face à la hausse de la RAM..

First #Hackster round-up of February. Let's see what's keeping me busy today!
First up, something I mentioned this morning: the second price hike from #RaspberryPi in the last two months. This time the $25 added to top-end SKUs is joined by another $60(!). Why? Well, the AI bubble: RAM is expensive now, everything has RAM, so everything is expensive.
It won't be the last price hike of the year, either, I'll tell you that now.

Raspberry pi problem diagnosed. It's a faulty µSD card. Again. Have ordered a new one. Gonna go for an "endurance" card this time. See if that does the trick. Guess I'm spending Sunday on data recovery...
@quixoticgeek I don't use #RaspberryPi any more, they just eat SD cards so quickly that they are about as reliable as Windows 95.
I have a Raspberry Pi Zero (1) running as an outdoor camera, and as it's doing HDR, it's usually pretty much at 100% CPU constantly. I've noticed that the wifi connection tends to permanently drop out after a few days or so, which doesn't seem to happen when the camera process isn't active. Are there any known issues with Raspis, Wifi stability, and CPU load? Couldn't find anything online, maybe I just got a lemon? 🤔

#Electronics / #Microcontroller question
I'm looking for an easy way to store some metadata (just a few bytes) with some electronic components.
The project involves #RaspberryPi computers operating a camera and lighting to attract and image night-flying insects.
The lighting includes two components: 1) a set of white high-power LEDs to provide illumination for the camera, and 2) a set of UV, white, green and blue high-power LEDs to attract the insects. I make up these components and attach them to the RPi with pluggable cables. See: https://amt.hobern.net/ to get the idea.
Based on power availability, portability and other considerations, the number and type of LEDs in each component may be different. The camera illumination may use 3 or 6 LEDs or substitute with a ring-light. The attractant may be 6 UV + 1 white + 1 green + 1 blue or 3 UV + 1 white + 1 green + 1 blue or just 3 UV. I want switching lighting components to be plug-and-play.
It's also important to record metadata on the configuration actually used for any session. Right now, it's the responsibility of the user to remember to update a configuration file if they change the lighting. This is error-prone.
I'd be interested in including something in each component that the RPi can read to determine the lights in use. Is there an easy and reasonably cost-effective way to do this? I can easily use cables with more pins. Is there a cheap solid-state component that I can include in each lighting unit and that I can simply flash with some short string or a few bytes and that I can read from the RPi side?
Or am I just wasting time on this thought exercise?

Found the first issue in my new #MechanicalKeyboard PCB design, the cut-out is not quite wide enough for the #RaspberryPi RP2040-Zero reset and boot buttons 😢
I’ll have to take a file to the PCB (outside well ventilated, with a mask on) 😷

Filing away a little off the PCBs worked, my latest #MechanicalKeyboard is coming together - now with a #RaspberryPi RP2040-Zero soldered in each half, and the switches done. Waiting on the through hole TRRS sockets (should be OK), and the surface mounted 5-way navigation buttons - they’ll be tricky to solder I fear!

My first under 10x10cm #MechanicalKeyboard PCBs arrived from JLCPLC - and they’re so tiny! Smol keyboard time - 15 or 16 keys on each half, and a 5-way navigation button, but no diodes using #GraphTheory http://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2025/12/5-way-switch-in-diode-free-graph-theory.html - and in further boundary pushing it should take a pair of #RaspberryPi RP2040-Zero or RP2350-Zero in TRRS wired mode, or the NRF52840 “Zero” controllers for Bluetooth (using opposite sides of the PCB rather than jumpers as they have almost equivalent footprints): https://codeberg.org/peterjc/pico-keyboards/src/branch/main/bivvy16d

The new Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2 is a $130 add-on board with a Halio 10H chip and 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM for running LLMs without using the Pi's built-in hardware. But the Pi itself can actually run those models faster (due to higher power limits). https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/raspberry-pi-ai-hat-2/ #RaspberryPi #AIAccelerator #RaspberryPiAiHatPlus2

PsionPi #raspberrypi project. Final version except for a couple more magnets for the lower half. But that needs gorilla glue and it's upstairs! ;-)
