Nathan Ladwig has got the ESP32 decoding SPDIF quite effectively, using an onboard peripheral outside its traditional remit. The project allows an ESP32 to work as a USB audio device or take an S/PDIF signal as input, and then transmitting that audio stream over RTP.
The Explorer HAT is a fantastic way to get started with physical computing and add-on boards for your Raspberry Pi. It provides a standardised way to connect a wide range of components, making it easy to build interactive projects.
A Raspberry Pi project that displays the city and country where it is currently 5:00 p.m., updating every 15 minutes. It uses accurate timezone data and is a fun, lightweight build with potential for educational and practical applications.
Adafruit showcases the Raspberry Pi cam combined with the MLX90640 IR camera to create a budget fusion thermal camera. Featuring solderless components, this build is also beginner-friendly.
* **Enigma Touch:** Jürgen Müller’s Enigma replica is now available for order, featuring a unique all-electronic design and a focus on replicating the original user experience. A Google Group has been created for discussion and related activities.
* **PiDP-1:** The PiDP-1 kit is nearing completion and expected to ship at the end of July, with both console and rack-mounted versions available. A Google Group has been launched for the PiDP-1 community.
* **ARPANET Reconstruction:** Lars Brinkhoff has made significant progress in reconstructing the ARPANET, allowing for connections between emulated PDP-10s and modern Linux machines. The project seeks volunteers to expand the network.
* **LGP-30:** Work is underway on a replica of the LGP-30, with a focus on creating an authentic 1950s metal case.
* **PiDP-10 & Software:** Updates on software for the PiDP-8/11, and a note about running the original Micro-Soft BASIC on a PiDP-10.
* **Whirlwind:** Initial planning for a Whirlwind replica is underway.
