At the start of May, we updated the contents of our Nut Pi SD card to include newer versions of a range of components.
The Nut Pi is a great collection of some of the best commercial RISC OS software available – including the ROOL Desktop Development Environment (DDE). It represents a fantastic deal; the total retail value of the bundled software is around £600 but the Nut Pi is available for just £35 plus VAT, P&P – that’s cheaper than the DDE on its own!
One of the key changes in this update was to ensure that everything functions correctly on the Raspberry Pi 2 but we also took the opportunity to refresh many of the titles with newer versions. One significant update is the bundled DDE has been updated to the very latest release version.
Most of the included applications are built specifically to run only on the Raspberry Pi range of computers. The Nut Pi is available in micro-SD and full-size SD form factors.
Please note: there is no discounted price available to existing Nut Pi owners, due to the already heavily discounted price.

First introduced to celebrate 50 years of BASIC last May, Pico is a tiny cut down version of RISC OS which runs on the Raspberry Pi which boots straight to the interpreter prompt and can be used on ordinary FAT format media.
As it predated the model B+ and mark 2 hardware it has previously only been available in large SD card format for the original model B.
Now, all that instant boot-into-BASIC goodness has been shrunk down to micro SD card size and enhanced to work on the more recent versions of the Pi. You can order a copy through the store or bag a 10% discount when ordering a class pack for groups of 10 or more.
Users have been finding all kinds of ways to make use of this non desktop version for embedded control of anything from a robot
arm to central heating systems.
What are you using Pico for?
