Is there an RSS feed for the forum?

No RSS unfortunately, and no sign it’ll ever be added ( I think it’s considered a dead format by many ). There is, however, a JSON feed which should be trivial to implement.

For example: http://forums.pimoroni.com/c/announcements.json

You could try and include the following in a JSON reader.

@tigerfrost Some sort of physical computing project that notifies the user upon a new Pimoroni forums post.

EDIT: Oh wow! This forum system is practically built upon JSON, in that you can append “.json” to most things and collect raw data.
