Build a physical dashboard with the Raspberry Pi
This is a nice tutorial from Adafruit. They’ve taken several of their own products (as they normally do) and created a physical dashboard with lots of digital numeric readouts and even a swingometer that uses a motor to move an…
Raspberry Pi Sense HAT game – Sense Cave
Albert Hickey (@winkleink) got a Sense HAT for Christmas and wanted to create a game using it. What he came up with is Sense Cave. Sense Cave is a maze with 64 rooms (8×8) containing emeralds. Some of the exits/entrances…
Connect to the Raspberry Pi over SSH from Windows 10, Linux and Android
Gary Newell over at Everyday Linux User has written a great tutorial on setting up and using SSH to connect to a Pi’s command line. He covers connections from Windows 10, Linux and Android (no love for the Mac, yet) including…
Self-driving remote control model car uses Raspberry Pi as brain
Zheng Wang has taken a model Range Rover and slapped a Raspberry Pi and camera module on top, along with a portable power supply. His aims were to build a system that would self-drive along a track detect stop signs and traffic…
Raspberry Pi digital empathy booth ignores your every desire
The Empathy Machine from Joanna Hopkins on Vimeo. Artist Joanna Hopkins and programmer Alanna Kelly have teamed up to create The Empathy Machine. The machine encourages people to enter the booth and then engage in conversation with a digital person…
Build circuits with this nifty crowdfunded Raspberry Pi HAT
Alex Eames has just launched his latest Kickstarter. Following successful campaigns for the RasPiO GPIO Ruler and RasPiO Duino, he is now raising funds for the RasPiO Pro HAT. Key features This HAT’s key features are as follows: protected GPIO ports to…
Last few days for this Kickstarter to produce a Raspberry Pi Zero prototyping board
I’ve covered this before, but just thought I’d give it a final push. Richard Saville (aka Average Man) is currently running a Kickstarter for this nifty little prototyping board for the Zero. He’s already blown past his funding goal, so…
GPIO Zero – the development of a new GPIO library for the Raspberry Pi
I’ve previously covered Ben Nuttall’s new GPIO library, GPIO Zero, on this blog. A few weeks ago, I had an epiphany and realised just how useful it can be. Since then, I’ve been meaning to start using it to redevelop…
Solar power meets steampunk with this Raspberry Pi / Nixie tube mash-up
Paul Parry from Bad Dog Designs took a 1930s Vickers combined voltmeter and ammeter, refurbished it, added the Nixie tubes and then added a Raspberry Pi which translated the data coming in from his solar panels into something usable by the tubes.…
