Building a vertical plotter with the #RaspberryPi
Brandon Green has created a Polargraph. It’s a vertical old-fashioned plotter that uses a program written in ‘Go’ on the Raspberry Pi to send commands to an Arduino which then controls two stepper motors connected to thread to move the…
Stop freezing pipes with the #RaspberryPi and a new #Arduino board
Alex Eames at RasPi.TV has invented a new board that plugs into the Raspberry Pi. Called a RasPiO duino, it’s programmable from the Pi and will also work away from the Pi providing it’s given a power source. He has…
Use a Wii Nunchuck on the #RaspberryPi to control a turtle
Jason Barnett has written a tutorial over on tuts+ about using a Wii Nunchuck to control the turtle library to draw lines via Python. There’s two ways of doing it: hacking directly into the circuitry of the Nunchuck or using…
Fantastic audio art installation with a #RaspberryPi
