About PinoutFeed

Fast, accurate news on maker hardware — new boards, chips, kits and firmware releases — with clean specs copied from the maker's own pages.

Founded and published by John Folger. PinoutFeed is an independent publication and is not affiliated with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Espressif, any chip vendor, or any retailer.

Who it's for

Hobbyists, embedded engineers, educators, students and anyone with a drawer of dev boards. If you want to know what launched, what it actually costs, whether you can buy it yet, and how it compares on paper to what you already own, this site is for you.

What we cover

Raspberry Pi, Arduino and ESP32 boards and other single-board computers; microcontrollers and modules from Raspberry Pi (RP2040/RP2350), Espressif, ST, Nordic, NXP, Microchip and TI; maker kits and crowdfunded hardware on Crowd Supply and Kickstarter; PCB tools such as KiCad; firmware and RTOS releases including MicroPython, CircuitPython, Zephyr and ESP-IDF; notable maker projects; and the business behind it all.

Editorial approach

Every spec — clock speed, cores, RAM and flash, GPIO count, radios, price, availability — is copied from the maker's own product page or datasheet and attributed. Prices carry a currency and a date. We say plainly whether a product is announced, on pre-order, crowdfunding or shipping. We never invent part numbers, pin counts or benchmark figures. We publish news, not wiring guides. Articles are AI-drafted under disclosed desk bylines, checked against their cited sources, and reviewed before release. Read the full editorial standards.

Sources & images

We synthesize public information — makers' product pages and datasheets, vendor newsrooms, official release notes, campaign pages and reporting from established outlets — into original coverage.

Accuracy & corrections

A wrong pin count or price is a real error, and we treat it as one. Spot something wrong? Email [email protected] with the source that shows the correct figure, and we will fix it and log it on our corrections page.
