A Raspberry Pi-Based NOAA Decoder That Tweets Satellite Photos!
Our experience of the weather is traditionally passive; we have little choice other than to accept what happens in the atmosphere above. It might rain; it might be windy; sunshine might be slight, or enough to convince you to go to the beach.
Get Awesome Sounds with the Pedal-Pi Programmable Guitar Pedal
Increasingly, guitar pedals come with programmable FX that can be saved. With this development comes an opportunity. Couldn’t you just build your own?
Play Chicken Scream with an Arduino
You’ve probably heard of a ‘bot’, automated software that performs repeated tasks. They turn up everywhere, from Twitter to video games.
A Raspberry Pi and Arduino-Powered Dart Board Digital Scoring Display
We’re not saying that you’re the next Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor, but there’s a good chance you like a game of darts. Hasn’t the lack of a decent digital display proved a problem, in a world of oft-disappearing chunks of chalk?
TinyPi: Your Retro Gaming Raspberry Pi on a Keychain
Retro gaming on a Raspberry Pi is increasingly popular, as is making your retro gaming centre portable. Typically you might build something from scratch, akin to some sort of retro Nvidia Shield, or squeeze a Pi Zero into an Altoids tin. As long as it is light, compact, and easily recharged, whatever you build should be awesome.
ODroid XU4 vs Raspberry Pi 3 B+
Though tons of single-board computers exist, the Raspberry Pi and Odroid XU4 are among the most popular. Learn more about the Odroid XU4 vs Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and find out which is best for your needs!
13 Best Operating Systems for the Odroid XU4: Odroid XU4 Supported OS Options
The Odroid XU4 is a powerful, versatile single-board computer (SBC). Because of its octa-core processor, it’s more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, making it a worthy Raspberry Pi alternative.
A Solar Powered Squirrelhouse
Whether you live in the countryside or a suburban part of town near a park or fields, there is a good chance that there’s some wildlife nearby. While birds, foxes, squirrels and other creatures are bolder than ever when it comes to living in proximity to the grinding gears of progress, it can still be difficult to see them up close.
Let Your Robot Make the Cakes!
Disclaimer: in this writer’s opinion, there is no way a mechanically made cake can taste quite as good as one made by hand.
Fancy a Foldable Raspberry Pi-Powered All-in-One Workstation?
Looking for a simple Raspberry Pi-related weekend project, or just want to package your Pi into its own display?
Getting started with the Odroid XU4
The Odroid XU4 is a single-board computer (SBC) similar to the Raspberry Pi. Released by South Korean company Hardkernel Co Ltd, the Odroid XU4 ranks among the more powerful SBCs available.
Mugsy, the Robot Coffee Maker
Did you have coffee this morning? Did you make it yourself, struggling with the kettle and CoffeeMate? Perhaps you own a Tassimo or similar cartridge-based coffee machine?
Something Fishy about Alexa…?
The Billy Bass wall display was a perennial feature in bars and restaurants (and a few home-built bars and domestic snugs) throughout the nineties and noughties.
Build Your Own DIY Retro Arcade Cabinet Using a Raspberry Pi Zero
In the 1980s the arcade was where we saw the latest games. A cacophony of sound and lights designed to entice us to part with our 10p/25c to save the world, go out for a drive, or eat power pills.
DIY Retro Arcade Cabinet - Part 4 - Assembly and configuration
Here we are, the end of the journey that has taken us four parts, many mistakes and lots of learning. Building this project has used multiple skills, chiefly design and fabrication using the K40 laser cutter. Using a laser cutter for small projects (keychains, signs etc.) is rather simple, but an arcade cabinet requires careful design and lots of iterations in the fabrication process.
Build a Pinhole Digital Camera
Pinhole photography is one of the earliest ways to take pictures, but you wouldn’t think of it as a digital photography practice. After all, it relies on the natural physics of light, and the chemical reaction of the film or photographic paper – two things that digital photography has a very different relationship with.
Tell the Time with this Arduino Powered Laser Clock!
This build is so clever, it should have a degree. Utilizing ultraviolet LEDs and a glow in the dark surface, this “laser clock” (the use of laser is a bit vague, but it looks amazing, regardless) is constructed from 3D printed parts and has an Arduino inside it. Developed by YouTuber Tucker Shannon, the effect here is so stunning that we just had to take a closer look at it.
Secret Cola Bottle Spycam
Is someone snooping on your stuff? Want to protect yourself from people’s mischief? Big camera on the wall far too obvious to catch a perpetrator in the act?
