For capturing the partial solar eclipse in the UK, I created a @raspberrypi Solar Eclipse time-lapse camera using a Raspberry Pi 5, an HQ camera with a 50mm lens, a Pi Touch Display 2 and I coded a Python app to hook it all together. The repo for the app is here.. github.com/pjgpetecodes...

Raspberry Pi has a new AI HAT. This time with built-in 8 GB of RAM, so you can run machine vision + LLM inference all without touching the Pi's CPU. It's $130 and a little bit of a niche item. Find out why in my video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRQa...
