Adafruit TRINKET – Mini Microcontroller – 3.3V and 5.5V versions:
It’s a tiny microcontroller board, built around the Atmel ATtiny85, a little chip with a lot of power.
A cool cheap little Arduino compatible board for smaller projects. The 3.3V version runs at 8MHz and the 5V version can run at 8 or 16MHz. It has five I/O pins available and comes with 8kb of memory. It can be programmed with AVRDude or the Arduino IDE after some small modifications. Looks great!
Crystal cMoy Freeform Headphone Amp:
Very cool transparent cMoy headphone amplifier, made using clear casting resin. This is something I have to try.

Update: You can find my latest update on the progress of my Raspberry Pi Car Audio System here.
I’m working on a Raspberry Pi as a music player in my car. I’m putting all my music on a SSD disk in lossless FLAC. I’ve already got hold of a 2×16 character LCD with six button from Adafruit that only uses two pins for communication with I2C. It’s easy to program and it has four different background colors.
How to use interrupts with Python on the Raspberry Pi and RPi.GPIO » RasPi.TV:
We’ve finally got interrupt capability on the Raspberry Pi for GPIO programming in Python using RPi.GPIO.
Interesting! Saving this link for later experimenting. Need buttons for my Carputer Raspberry Pi.

I love my music playback setup that consists of a couple of Squeezebox V3 players in different rooms so I can listen to music in lossless format wherever I am in the apartment. With the iPeng HD app on my iPad, I have a nice interface for controlling the players with album art and other nice features. But the best part is that I can playback high resolution audio directly on my iPad using the Camera Kit USB adapter and an HRT HeadStreamer DAC portable USB headphone amplifier. But I wanted a small, cheap and eco-friendly server for hosting my music files and wondered if I could use the Raspberry Pi. And here’s my findings.
