Open Hardware: Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and More

Let’s all celebrate #MagPiMonday
It’s super easy. Just tag us in a photo, video, or text post sharing what you’ve been up to with Raspberry Pi recently. It doesn’t have to be the finished product; you can post a pencil drawing of what you’re hoping to build, or a photo of a very janky shoebox prototype that will eventually become an eight-legged, laser-firing robot. We believe in you.

Introducing the Nano ESP32: THAT’S I(o)T!
Create your first – or your next – IoT project with the new Arduino Nano ESP32. The latest addition to our wide range of tiny boards with mighty features pairs the accessibility and flexibility of the Arduino ecosystem with the potential of the low-power ESP32-S3 system-on-a-chip microcontroller.
This means you can keep the familiar Nano form factor (just 45×18 mm!), get all the support you need – via documentation or our vibrant community – and master MicroPython in no time.

Plan for death at the start of building your connected device
In the case of VanMoof, a rival connected e-bike company has created an app that will purportedly unlock the VanMoof bikes and provide some functionality. But relying on a competitor to hack together some software to control a device made by another vendor and hoping that, as a user, you can download your security key from the VanMoof servers, before those servers are shut down, is not an ideal scenario.

Old Computer Challenge v3: postmortem
Hi! I've not been very communicative about my week during the Old Computer Challenge v3, the reason is that I failed it. Time for a postmortem (analysis of what happened) to understand the failure!
For the context, the last time I was using a restricted hardware was for the first edition of the challenge two years ago. Last year challenge was about reducing Internet connectivity.

Arduino Co-Founder Will Take Your Questions Live on the Pi Cast
As well as being the co-founder of the Arduino project, Banzi is also its chairman and CTO since 2004. Banzi has also worked as an interaction designer, educator and open source hardware advocate. Banzi has worked as a consultant for clients such as: Prada, Artemide, Persol, Whirlpool, V&A Museum and Adidas.
We'll be asking Banzi all about the meteoric rise of the Arduino project, from the earliest boards all the way to its latest incarnation, the R4 Uno range. We'll also have a selection of Arduino boards to talk about as we move through the story.
