Raspberry Pi Projects and Items, Including PiDog

Stephen Smith ☛ PiDog a New Member of the Pack
The PiDog has eight servo motors controlling the legs for walking, three servo motors as part of the neck to control the head and a twelfth servo motor to wag the tail. There is a speaker so the PiDog can bark or howl, there is an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles, a camera so it can see, as well as a directional microphone so it can hear and tell the direction of the sound. There is also a touch sensor. There is a strip of lights along the front that can add to the PiDog’s expressiveness.
There are a number of sample Python programs included to show all the normal doggy type movements and operations. These then provide a great foundation for you to use to develop your own programs.

CNX Software ☛ Add two M.2 NVMe SSDs to Raspberry Pi 5 with Geekworm X1004 HAT+
We’ve seen a range of PCIe HAT(+) for the Raspberry Pi 5 taking one NVMe SSD, but Geekworm X1004 is different as it can take up to two standard M.2 2280 SSDs over the Pi 5’s PCIe connector and 40-pin GPIO header. The official Raspberry Pi 5 M.2 HAT+ is not available yet, but we already have an embarrassment of choice with products such as the PineBerry Pi HatDrive, Waveshare PCIe To M.2 HAT+, Pimoroni NVMe Base, and the Geekworm X1003.
