New MacBook Pro day today. The dichotomy of migrate or start from scratch (but then install everything as it was anyway).

Hopefully the new MacBook Pro M4 Pro will be a bit quicker at rendering video than my old M1 has been

Working on a new video... It's been "an experience" so far!
First generation on my Mac Mini M2, I gave it access to my family iMessage account and I had to shut it down after 24 hours!
Second generation is running on a Raspberry Pi and actually doing useful stuff. Coming soon

Welcome to Kev's Robots A site dedicated to hobbyist robotics interested in Raspberry Pi, MicroPython, CircuitPython, Python, MicroBit, C++, Arduino, 3D Printing and electronics.

New video about to drop in 40 minutes, and a new series aimed at people wanting to move on from blinking LEDs on Microcontrollers using #Micropython.

kevsrobots.com has also had a few UX improvements too!

Currently setting up Frigate and Home Assistant in my Raspberry Pi homelab. The AI HAT+ (original) for inference and detection. So far, so good

Raspberry Pi has just launched the new AI HAT+2, which runs LLMs locally in the HAT's dedicated 8 GB of RAM. It’s fast too - 40TOPS, in just 2w of extra power. Cheaper than a month and a half of Claude AI Max.
