Someone's on the @Raspberry_Pi blog this morning. There's educational merit in a Python-controlled, talking, missile-firing, Grinch, honest!.

My first time flying full manual #fpv after using the motion controller until now. Just getting stable flight took a while in the simulator!

I've only had my #DJINeo properly for a couple of weeks, but it's got more airborne time this week than my bigger drone has in the last year (M3 Pro) 😬. I'm using the Goggles N3 and motion controller (for now). Most fun flying with a drone since I got my first Spark in 2019 🪦

I've gone and bought a DJI Neo. Also got a Tello - at what point does it become a squadron?. It's meant to complement the Mini 3 Pro indoors and (gently) get me into zoomy indoor FPV stuff 🫡

Yesterday I bought an EV. There's no text to go with these pictures on the charging instructions. I think it means:. 1) Don't use it as a skipping rope.2) Don't decapitate a dog.

As we get into the week of the N5 and Higher Computing exams, here are past paper videos - in case anyone needs them and doesn't have the link. (I mainly started it for Higher, but the N5 ones tend to get more views!).
