Hacking my Pentax K to M4/3 lens adapter

Lens adapters that allow you to connect different format lenses to camera bodies can be very handy.

But they ideally need to be the correct length to maintain focus range.

I decided to try to hack an adapter that is just 1mm or so too short.

Using Pentax SLR lenses on a micro four thirds camera

Although we got rid of the majority of our Pentax gear over a year ago, I still have a few lenses.

Since these are just gathering dust, I thought I'd try to put them to use...

...so I bought a lens adapter!

Powering The RaspberryPi

For the majority of RaspberryPi users, powering their Pi from a standard 5 Volt USB supply is the best and safest option.

The power supply is of fundamental importance, and if this does not do its job properly, your Pi powered project may be unreliable, or simply not run at all.

Most of the time, almost any 5 Volt USB power supply will be OK to power the Raspberry Pi when running with just mouse, keyboard & display, providing it is powerful enough.
