Bristol Braille Technology<\/a>\u00a0is working on a more affordable replacement for traditional Braille reading machines. Under the hood is a Raspberry Pi running C and Python, controlling off-the-shelf motors and plastic gears to create the Braille text. Traditionally, Braille machines can cost \u00a31000-2000. The BBT version is coming in at around \u00a3440. They hope to have a\u00a0positive effect on declining rates of Braille literacy. More information and an interview with BBT founder Ed Rogers, is available over at arstechnica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
