Giles Booth continues his series using the SenseHAT with this rather nifty weather forecasting script. It reads a forecast from the BBC news API and then performs some text-replacement jiggery-pokery before outputting the information to the SenseHAT’s matrix display. Really glad he’s…

Roll a dice with the Raspberry Pi SenseHAT
Giles Booth has followed up his previous work with the SenseHAT to create a dice rolling device. The SenseHAT detects G-forces via the onboard accelerometer and then, when a tolerance is breached, the Pi generates a random number which is displayed on the…
Turn the Raspberry Pi SenseHAT into a spirit level
Giles Booth has attached a SenseHAT to his Raspberry Pi and then written some simple Python script to generate a spirit level on the SenseHAT’s matrix display. Some great work here showing the flexibility of this fantastic little Pi accessory.…
Extending a traffic lights project on the Raspberry Pi
Giles Booth previously started to construct a circuit and write code that would display a traffic lights sequence on LEDs connected to his Pi using GPIO Zero. This time, he has added a momentary tactile switch to the circuit so that…
Simple GPIO project using the Raspberry Pi and GPIO Zero
Giles Booth wanted to get started with physical computing using the Pi. Luckily, Ben Nuttall had just announced GPIO Zero, the new GPIO library from the Foundation. So, Giles got hold of some simple electronic components and wrote a traffic…
Easy internet radio with a #RaspberryPi
Using a Pi, a button and a resistor, it’s possible to create this ultra-simple internet radio. Giles Booth has written the project up and you can read all about it here. Thanks to Pi Weekly for spotting this!
Internet radio project using a #RaspberryPi made out of discarded tech
Giles Booth (and his kids) have taken an old USB audio input/output box and made an internet radio out of it. He’s now added a button to it to change the station. Read more about the project here and here.
Weather forecast on a #RaspberryPi printer
Giles Booth has mashed together a GoFreeRange printer and a Raspberry Pi to print out a weather forecast every morning. This is a fascinating project that should be reproduceable by others. There’s also a great script to monitor a DropBox…
