What we’re about

Welcome to Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE)!

We’re a local community of makers, hobbyists, and tech enthusiasts who meet in person twice a month to explore projects built around Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers — along with retro computing, electronics, and creative tech.
This Facebook group is a space for:

  • 📢 Announcements about upcoming CARPE meetups and events
  • 💡 Sharing projects — show off what you’re building, learning, or experimenting with
  • 🤝 Connecting with other local makers between meetings

Whether you’re just getting started or have been soldering since the 1970s, you’ll find a welcoming community that loves to learn, share, and tinker.

Typical interests: Arduino • Raspberry Pi • ESP32 • IoT • Retro Tech • SDR • Electronics • Sensors • AI at the Edge
CARPE = Creative • Applied • Retro • Pi & Edge

Be sure to check the location for each session as we are moving locations often based on room availability!
