The One Thousandth PiTrex


The latest batch of fifty PiTrex boards completed this week included PiTrex number 1000! It is marked with a special sticker, for whoever happens to buy it from among the stock listed at the OmberTech store page outlink and the Tindie listing outlink. Even with the shortages of Raspberry Pi Zero boards (especially this year), the popularity of the PiTrex has well surpassed our expectations.

Though not obvious lately, work has been continuing to bring new and improved features to the PiTrex software. Code will soon be added at the PiTrex git repo outlink for the modified X display server described earlier outlink, now working with (modified) XMAME and to be used in an upcoming preview release of a Linux-based software environment.
