Lots happening in Pi world, I’m adding a stack of new ideas and uses for the Raspberry Pi to my ever growing list. We’re also getting moving with the twitter feed, and starting to move on Facebook
First in news is the first proper case that I’m aware of for the Pi, designed by Swirlingbrain and 3D printed at shapeways.com
Check out the vid:
Next up, this one’s particularly close to my heart as I have a house full of Apple devices. Dom, one of the devs over at Raspberry has hacked the Pi to operate as an AirPlay receiver. Not sure how everybody’s favourite Cupertino litigators feel about this, but if you use iDevices at all, you can’t argue at the coolness of all this. At $25 pop, it’s a no brainer to drop one of these behind every TV in the house, ready to stream all those cat videos at a moment’s notice.
Lastly, if you’re worried about getting your hands on a case for the Raspberry Pi (it comes as a board only, no case), fear not, LEGO will come to the rescue. There are people already building Raspberry Pi LEGO case prototypes and putting a hell of a lot of thought into their designs. Geek on brothas!
