The new GoGoBoard 5.0 now also works with the Raspberry Pi, a popular credit-card sized single board computer, and adds the following abilities:

  • Eight analog or digital sensor ports.

  • Four servo or DC motor ports.

  • Infrared remote control receiver.

Background

The Raspberry Pi is a cheap, small, and (mostly) open-source computer. These features make it an ideal platform for teaching about programming and robotics. The new GoGo Board 5.0 simplifies the connection of sensors and actuators to the Raspberry Pi so users can focus on higher level concepts.

Goal

The goal of the new GoGo Board 5.0 is to make learning about programming and robotics cheaper and easier, opening up a host of new possibilities with the Raspberry Pi.
