FlexPi Kickstarter promises flexible Raspberry Pi Pico with a few upgrades

Raspberry Pi.

One of our favorite aspects of Raspberry Pi boards is the fact that they're open source. With that comes a great deal of flexibility and today we mean that literally! We came across a really neat Kickstarter project posted by TOP Gadgets which aims to provide Raspberry Pi Pico boards on a totally flexible PCB known as the FlexPi. The FlexPi board is just like the original Raspberry Pi Pico but with a few minor upgrades. Instead of your usual stiff PCB, this one can flex in any direction which makes it easy to fit inside of tight spaces and curved cases.

The team was asking for $500 USD to get the project off the ground and has already surpassed their goal with a current pledge total of over $5,000 USD. It's important to note, however, that because this is a Kickstarter project, supporting it is more like an investment and does not guarantee you will receive a final product. Proceed with caution when throwing your hard-earned money at projects like these, no matter how cool they seem.
