Welcome to the ESP32 running EduBlocks!
The ESP32 has become the big thing in Internet of Things (IoT) projects. It offers better WiFi, Bluetooth and performance than the ESP8266, and for not much more money! The ESP32 comes in many forms, from a breadboard ‘compatible’ board to a standalone board that has an OLED screen and can be powered from an 18650 battery!
SenseHAT: Part 1 Temperature and humidity
Onboard the International Space Station there are two Raspberry Pi and on each of those Pis is a board that offers a platform for scientific discovery and wonder.
So what is Bolt IoT?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing new, it has been with us for over a decade, but in this time we have seen the price of devices fall from hundreds of dollars to less than $10!
Getting Started With the ASUS Tinker Board: ASUS Tinker Board Review and Tutorial

What is the Crumble microcontroller and what can we do with it?
When we think of microcontrollers, we think of one of the many hundreds of boards on the market. But when we think of microcontrollers for children, the list is a little shorter, in fact only two boards spring to mind for us, the BBC micro:bit and Codebug. But before these two popular boards there was another board aimed squarely at children, and that was Crumble.
Getting Started With Flint OS on Raspberry Pi: Flint OS Raspberry Pi Installation and More
The Raspberry Pi is arguably the most popular maker board on the market. While many Raspberry Pi alternatives exist, a strong community, tons of software options, and a bevy of accessories make the Pi a fantastic single-board computer (SBC). Although many Raspberry Pi operating system (OS) exist, few are cloud-based. Check out Flint OS Raspberry Pi installation, first set up, and a hands-on look!
Twitter controlled bubble machine
The Internet of Things is just that, things connected to the Internet. Sometimes they are useful, such as sensors for monitoring health and scientific data. Other times they are trivial/fun. Such as this project.
Getting Started with Chromium OS on Raspberry Pi
There are loads of operating system (OS) options for the Raspberry Pi.

Setup Octoprint for the Anet A8 with a Raspberry Pi
The Anet A8 3D printer that we reviewed in early 2018 is a bit of a beast for under $150, it produces decent quality prints and it is relatively easy to build. It may be a basic printer, made to a price point but we found that it was a reliable workhorse for makers.
Go off the grid with your Raspberry Pi Zero W
The Raspberry Pi Zero W is a truly wondrous piece of kit. It provides access to the Raspberry Pi learning resources, it is really cheap so we can embed it in a project and forget about it, and it sips away at power, unlike its much larger relatives that guzzle power!
