Home monitoring with Raspberry Pi and Arduino
Eric Tsai has put together a combination of wireless, sensor-packed Arduinos with a Pi and come up with a quite neat home monitoring solution. He’s written it all up as an Instructable which you can view here. He’s called in…
Use Firmata to communicate with an Arduino from a Raspberry Pi
Here’s a great tutorial, and accompanying video (see below), from “Android Eric” in which he describes how to use the Firmata sketch on an Arduino and a python library on the Raspberry Pi.
Running Neopixels from the Raspberry Pi without an Arduino
Here’s what could be a game-changer in the land of blinkies. Tony from North-West USA has taken the work of an Adafruit forum user, adapted it slightly and is now driving Neopixels natively from the Pi. It uses the Raspberry Pi’s…
French-language site for Raspberry Pi and Arduino
As you know, I normally only cover English news and projects on the blog. This isn’t due to any xenophobic tendencies, I’m just not very good at other languages. However, a site has just come to my attention that might…
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…
Home automation with a #RaspberryPi and an #Arduino
Lauren Orsini has done a lovely round-up of all kinds of options for home automation using both the Pi and the Arduino. It’s basically a collection of links to other articles but the piece has been put together really well…
Monitor your plants with PlantPi – #RaspberryPi and #Arduino working together
A group of year 11 students from Frome College have entered (and won one of the prizes) the PA Consulting Raspberry Pi inventions contest. Jake Malley, Gabriel Barnes and Alex Osbourne have linked together a Raspberry Pi and an ATMega328P-PU…
Pi Co-op – #RaspberryPi / #Arduino add-on board review & a lie detector
The Pi Co-op is an expansion board that plugs straight onto the GPIO header and gives you immediate access to an Atmega328p microcontroller chip. Essentially, it gives you an onboard Arduino! It’s also pre-soldered which means you don’t need to…
Add an #Arduino to your #RaspberryPi using the Pi Co-Op
Dawn Robotics have created a new board for the Pi. It’s actually been out since January but they’ve just started to market the product, and what a product it is. In fact, if you’ve ever wanted to explore the world…
