I was sent a review unit of Seeed Studio’s Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino to try out and give my honest opinion. So, here it is! (You can also buy from Amazon UK here). What’s included? As you can see…
The latest Humble Bundle book deal (just a sample of which is shown above) contains several books from Make including “Make: A Raspberry Pi-Controlled Robot” by Wolfram Donat and various other electronics and programming volumes. Well worth a look if you…
An Imgur user and his brother have built a dartboard scorer surround and inside is buried a Raspberry Pi. Button presses to keep track of the score are detected by an Arduino Leonardo and these are then fed into a…
Tim’s just alerted me to the latest Humble Bundle book deals, and they are great bundles to grab! They’re all Wiley books, so the quality is excellent. For $1, you can get: Complete Electronics Self-Teaching Guide with Projects Exploring Arduino Learning…
Alex Eames (from RasPi.TV and Rasp.io) has run several Kickstarters and his new one looks to be his best yet. His new campaign is called RasPiO Inspiring. It is a new system for ‘sculpting with RGB LEDs’ and is made…
Spencer Organ has been putting his making skills to use with this Harry Potter-inspired build. Taking his cue from both the Weasley Clock and the Marauders’ Map, he’s taken a Raspberry Pi, an Explorer HAT, an Arduino, some servos and…
Wendell Kapustiak has built a self-playing wooden pipe organ. The organ has 42 wooden pipes (representing 3.5 chromatic octaves). Each wooden pipe is different and had to be custom-cut to play the right note. A “blower” used to cool data centres…
Plum Geek have previously launched, and successfully funded a series of Arduino-powered robots on Kickstarter. Now, they’ve moved into the Raspberry Pi arena with the Spirit Rover. Inspired by the NASA/JPL Mars Rover, the full kit features a custom circuit…
Spencer Organ recently spoke at CamJam about his timelapse video rig (pictured above). It uses an Arduino in combination with the Raspberry Pi (and it’s associated camera module) to pan across a landscape, taking photographs every so often as defined…
Martin Hertig took a guitar bag, hooked up an Arduino to the zips via conductive thread to make a MIDI controller and then added a Raspberry Pi into the mix to create his project, called Zippy. The Pi runs FluidSynth synthesizer…
