Happy New Year!
The CANVAS and PEG teams are also back to work today.
We look forward to your continued support this year.

Early this year, I received a report from Professor Minagawa of our partner organization, the Shibata Science and Technology Education Network, regarding the 3rd Science School event, “Controlling a RasPi Car with a Smartphone,” which was held at the end of last year.

Since they tackled such challenging material in just one day, the joy they felt when they finally managed to get the motor running was all the more special.
You can also watch a video showing the RasPi Car being controlled via a smartphone.
