Just noticed this posted on a WS19 group by a G3:-
"Yet another noisy piece of kit to mess up the airwaves.
I plugged in my new Raspberry computer. It seems to work OK but then I read
the back of the slip of paper that fell out of the box (the only paperwork
supplied in fact).
It's EMC compliant only with "Class A" requirements, or in other words it's
only good for operating in a commercial environment.
It actually states that it will cause harmful radio interference in a
residential area.
As the Raspberry Pi is most definitely sold for home use the phrase (which
I'm paraphrasing slightly) "the user must pay for preventing it from
interfering with radio sets" comes into play. Fat chance it's even possible.
Does anyone remember the good old days when you could listen on 20 metres
and the background noise was so low you almost hear a pin drop in
Australia?"

Cambridge Uni funding? Certainly access to their resources. David Braben,
the god who wrote the game Elite (among others), is possibly rich enough
to put some of his own money into it, as are some of the others. It's a
charitable foundation.
The avowed intention is to encourage children to program as they did in
the early days of home computers, so I expect there will be a whole suite
of software and hardware add-ons to promote that, which in turn will be
relevant to people such as us who like to make things work. Isn't it
going to make an Arduino look rather archaic?
