Use a RPi Pico to interface a JTAG connection

Well beats buying a custom cable for the job. This allows the RPi Pico to basically convert to/from JTAG to USB. Nice idea.

Angle Grinder belt sander build

I have seen a bunch of these builds over time, but what I like about this one is it involves no welding. Still a bit complicated for a build.

Nice RPi Sky Camera

Nice build for a RPi time lapse camera build. Not sure I would go all out like the author, but still a nice build.

Slingshot from bike parts

Interesting build using a goose neck and bike break calibers. Only surpised that the author used real slingshot rubber instead of trying to adapt something else from the bike

Adding an External Antenna to an RPi Zero 2

Nice idea, but I don’t have the patience for this build. It would have been nice if some pads or something else was available on the RPI to do this.
