VGA for Pi Debuts at CamJam, alongside HDMIPi production model No. 1

Announcing RasPi Videos Google+ Community

I’d like to introduce a new Raspberry Pi related Google Plus community. It’s called RasPi Videos and it’s for sharing and discussing videos about the Raspberry Pi.

Matthew Manning – Raspberry Pi Beginners. A top Raspberry Pi vlogger. Carrie Anne Philbin – Geek Gurl Diaries. Teacher extraordinaire, vlogger and blogger, champion of getting more girls into coding. (This is much needed! If you could […more…]
