  • Pi 3 finally here

    Lovely! Finally both Bluetooth and WiFi on the card. Plus faster CPU and GPU.

    It's a must, that's for sure...

    Unfortunately the Raspbian software is still 32 bits.
    And they have been messing with the uart, that is now used for bluetooth.

    I was planning to equip a RPI with a GPS-Hat. The GPS is connected to the
    serial port, so the next pri will probably be a RPI 2.

    On the RPI 3 the replacement uart is software clocked and probably not
    suitable for the GPS-Hat. Time will learn.
