The Raspberry Pi is a super flexible tool for the casual aerospace engineer. Don't believe me? Check out this free and open-source cosmic ray detection project known as CosmicPi. It's designed to run on our favorite SBC and, with the right hardware, it can reveal unseen particles as they're detected.

Earlier this week, the development team behind the project announced support for a Grafana dashboard. With it, users can easily visualize the data they're receiving in real-time. The best Raspberry Pi projects have a clean user interface, and this addition definitely adds a nice touch to the CosmicPi project.
