#RaspberryPi powered pollution monitor – the AirPi
Two kids from Westminster School in London have created a pollution monitoring system with a Raspberry Pi. It records temperature, humidity, air pressure, light levels and monitors for various pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. They have said that…
Watterott Display on #RaspberryPi
Lallafa has found a way to use a relatively cheap TFT display on his Raspberry Pi. He’s even found a way to compile his driver into the kernel so you can use it as a boot screen. He claims…
Build a radio astronomy platform with a #RaspberryPi
Robert Arrowsmith is using a DVB-T dongle to create a radio astronomy platform. He’s currently got the dongle picking up FM radio traffic. Follow his project blog here
Building an audio processing looper with a #RaspberryPi and KORG monotron
Servando Barreiro has made an audio processor/looper using a Raspberry Pi and the KORG monotron. Looks like a sweet project. Read more about it here
Track aircraft with your #RaspberryPi and a TV tuner
Using an RTL-2832U chipset TV tuner, it is possible to track aircraft using your Raspberry Pi. There is a wiki page on RaspberryTorte.com that shows you how to do it! Read all about it here
Reviving Teletext with a #RaspberryPi
Over at The New Tech, Moonlit has been working on reproducing the Teletext television text service. A lot of it is over my head, but it still makes for an interesting read. Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here
#RaspberryPi GPIO reference board keyring now on sale
This is a nifty little GPIO reference board that slips over the GPIO pins, is impossible to put on the wrong way and attaches to a keyring, if that’s what you want. I spotted this months ago and I’m pleased to…
Mini #RaspberryPi GPIO ‘app’ explains things a bit
Gadgetoid has published a little web-based app that allows you to explore the Pi’s GPIO pins. It features explanations of each pin and often gives WiringPi examples to use them. Take a look here
