Maker Faire Rome 2024 is just around the corner and this year promises to be an even more exciting event full of new developments. Raspberry Pi, together with its partner Melopero, is ready to present a series of innovative products that will mark a new chapter in the world of accessible technology.
With five key products, including new AI solutions and automation devices, Raspberry Pi and Melopero are set to surprise visitors, inspiring and engaging enthusiasts and the curious alike.
Raspberry Pi: innovation for makers and industry
Raspberry Pi is no longer just a name tied to the world of makers and electronics enthusiasts. Thanks to its versatility and power, the series of single-board computers has also conquered the industrial market, becoming a key solution for a wide range of professional applications. With millions of units sold worldwide, Raspberry Pi is now an established tool for creative projects by makers and hobbyists, as well as for commercial applications requiring robustness and reliability.
At Maker Faire 2024, Raspberry Pi will present new solutions aimed at further expanding these possibilities, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence and automation.
Key products on display
This year, Raspberry Pi will showcase four main products, plus a fifth that serves as an essential integration into two others:
- Raspberry Pi AI Camera: A camera designed for artificial intelligence applications, ideal for object recognition projects and other advanced uses;
- Raspberry Pi AI Kit: A complete kit for exploring the world of AI, equipped with everything needed to develop and test intelligent applications;
- Raspberry Pi Pico 2: The new version of the famous microcontroller board, featuring the brand new Raspberry Pi RP2350 processor, providing superior performance for embedded projects;
- Melopero Perpetuo: A board equipped with a LoRa radio module, capable of operating indefinitely thanks to a small lithium battery and a solar panel. Melopero Perpetuo is also based on the RP2350 microcontroller, offering an innovative solution for the Internet of Things (IoT) with energy autonomy.
An interactive experience for everyone
During Maker Faire Rome 2024, Raspberry Pi and Melopero will offer visitors the opportunity to interact with their new products. On the Raspberry Pi side, it will be possible to experience the new AI solutions through interactive demos, where the public can test firsthand the advanced capabilities of the Raspberry Pi AI Camera and Raspberry Pi AI Kit.
Melopero: technology at your fingertips
Melopero, a long-standing partner of Raspberry Pi, will also provide a high-level educational experience this year. The company will have a dedicated Coding Area designed to introduce both young people and adults to programming electronic boards with MicroPython. This area will allow visitors to take their first steps in creating projects with electronics and coding.
Melopero is not just a technical partner, but a true promoter of technological education. With its innovative products and ongoing commitment to teaching new technologies, Melopero supports makers and professionals in the realization of their projects.
The presence of Melopero Perpetuo, with its self-sufficient power system, demonstrates the potential of new low-impact technologies and Melopero’s willingness to push the boundaries of innovation.
The participation of Raspberry Pi and Melopero at Maker Faire 2024 will once again be a key moment for the world of experimental technology. With five new products to discover and try, it will be a unique opportunity for enthusiasts, makers and curious of all ages to immerse themselves in innovation, AI, sustainable energy and electronics.
