The Omega2 Pro is the next generation of our highly successful Omega2 and the…
Blueberry Pi is just “another fruit single-board computer” based on the Allwinner V3s system on chip (SoC). These are the words used by the maker Marcel Thürmer on the GitHub page to describe his creation. But what makes this open source SBC different from other unix-inspired boards is that Thürmer has made it cheap and simple…
The BASIC Engine is a very low-cost single-board home computer with advanced 2D color graphics and sound capabilities, roughly comparable to late-1980s or early-1990s computers and video game consoles. It can be built at home without special skills or tools and using readily available components for under 10 Euros in parts, or mass-produced for even…
