  25 May 2026 » Tearing down a Coder Dojo Kingston University robot

  Our Coder Dojo at Kingston University runs a fleet of 11 Raspberry Pi RP2040 robots — a design that evolved from my Robotics at Home with Raspberry Pi Pico book. After a recent session, one robot came back needing repair: a sheared standoff and some wiring attention. I figured I’d document the design while I had it apart.more...

  28 Mar 2026 » How to Record audio with i2s on Raspberry Pi Pico

  Following on from my post on i2s playback with Raspberry Pi Pico, this is a write up of the recording lab notes I made in 2023. This was actually the trickier bit - getting an i2s MEMS microphone to capture audio and write it to a WAV file on an SD card. I completed this in 2023, but only got round to writing it up in 2026 - better late than never!more...
