Instructables user ‘dearner’ has taken a Raspberry Pi, four 32×32 RGB LED matrix boards, an Adafruit RGB matrix HAT, a good extra power supply for the matrices and some smaller parts and created a long LED display. He’s then created…
The Ruiz Brothers over at Adafruit have created a really lovely sand simulator using a Raspberry Pi Zero, an accelerometer, an RGB LED matrix display, some small items and 3D-printed parts. Philip Burgess wrote the code which “simulates physics by calculating…
Emanuele Coletta and friends have created a physical representation of a Pac Man game. The game characters were 3D printed and the ‘pills’ collected by Pac Man were changed to LEDs which disappear as the character rolls over them. The friends,…
Gosse Adema has created a 12-inch high 3D-printed lamp that tells you the weather forecast. He has used 288 WS2812 addressable LEDs to achieve a stunning effect which combines to tell you the temperature (vertically from blue to red) and…
It’s always nice when you see an engineering project that attempts to really help people, and this is one of the best I’ve come across. A recent hackathon, hackABILITY, brought together teams to concentrate on providing solutions to disabled people. One…
Gavan Fantom decided that new-fangled electronic LEDs weren’t enough for his office Christmas festivities. So, he came up with this beautiful 8×8 electro-mecahnical display. Each pixel is controlled by a 3D-printed mechanism that is screwed back and forth to change…
Every year, Spencer Organ tries to make something Christmassy to make his house more festive, and to show off at various events he attends. This year, he 3D-printed a plastic house and placed it inside a snow globe bell jar.…
Richard Hayler recently acquired a new pet snake which he’s called The Kernel. The Kernel is housed inside a tank and Richard wanted to monitor the temperature and humidity of the environment. So, he used a DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor (like…
David Pride has taken a Raspberry Pi, a ZeroBorg motor controller, a disassembled Nerf gun and a robot chassis and made a drive-able shooting platform. He’s used several skills here, including 3D printing, to get the desired result and you…
Abhishek Singh has created this awesome GIF camera from two Raspberry Pis. Called the Instagif NextStep, a Pi 3 with a camera and preview screen records a short video clip and then transmits that clip to a Pi Zero which is…
