Needle 2 is a 45-million-parameter, 14MB model that turns plain-English commands into local Python function calls on a ...

There’s also a Python library (basically a set of commands you can use to control the robot) available to go alongside the HAT, which will let you write software to control the robot parts you’ve got ...

The Raspberry Pi 5 is a fantastic little computing machine. However, no matter how powerful the Raspberry Pi 5’s CPU may be, the Raspberry Pi 5 would be a useless lump of silicon and FR4 without a ...

If you’re building a CNC router, laser cutter, or even 3D printer, you’ll usually be looking at a dedicated controller. This board takes commands from a computer, often in the form of G-Code, and ...

Raspberry Pi has launched a new product that would make it easier to build robots out of LEGO components. The Build HAT (or Hardware Attached on Top), as it is called, is an add-on device that plugs ...

There are only two simple on/off devices – the LED and the Buzzer. In this chapter we look at each in turn and learn how to create our own new custom on/off devices. The inheritance hierarchy for the ...

The 14MB Needle 2 function-calling model lets a Raspberry Pi 5 turn natural-language instructions into local Python actions without an internet connection or AI accelerator.

You might well start off with a single GPIO line flashing an LED, but slowly and surely you will graduate to more elaborate devices such as a robot that consists of a ...
