Competitions – win a blue #RaspberryPi and a Camera Module
Two exciting competitions have been launched this week. The first is to win one of 1,000 blue Raspberry Pis (pictured below). To win one of these, you must come up with an idea of what you would do with a…
PicoBorg small motor controller for #RaspberryPi
Updated 5th March 2013 with an extra photo – thanks PiBorg! Here’s a new board from PiBorg. It can turn on and off 4 devices including fans, motors solenoids and relays etc from the Raspberry Pi. It comes in two…
Bartendro – a cocktail dispensing robot using the #RaspberryPi
Party Robotics have launched a Kickstarter project to fund their cocktail-dispensing robot, the Bartendro. The Bartendro has, at it’s core, a Raspberry Pi. In their effort to fulfil their goal of creating the perfect cocktail perfectly each time, they use Arduino clones…
#RaspberryPi #Gertboard – testing the D2A and A2D converters
TechFruits has published another in its ongoing lessons series about the Gertboard: The Gertboard: Lesson 5 – Testing the Digital to Analogue and Analogue to Digital Converters.
An ATX style solution for the #RaspberryPi
Jason Barnett has developed a prototype design for an on/off switch for the Pi. I know it’s been done quite a few times, but I just came across this one this afternoon: PiTX? An ATX style solution for the Pi!
Using a HMC5883L magnetometer/compass with the #RaspberryPi
This blog post describes getting an HMC5883L magnetic compass sensor to work with a Raspberry Pi. The pictures below show the sensor breakout board in question. For Arduino Leonardo If you do not have an Arduino, or just want the…
Installing and enabling I2C on the #RaspberryPi running Raspbian
I’m rather cheekily taking most of this from ThinkBowl.com as it’s a brilliant, simple walk-through that I’d hate to lose if the site disappeared! I’ve added some comments by way of explanation, just to add a little value. First install…
#RaspberryPi Fish Tank Monitor (work in progress)
Just thought I’d share this discussion forum thread in which a Raspberry Pi enthusiast called Rob is attempting to build a fish tank monitor out of a Raspberry Pi and some expansion boards.
Quick2Wire launch analogue board for #RaspberryPi
Quick2Wire have launched another of their add-on boards for the Raspberry Pi. This one gives access to 4 analog inputs and 1 analog output and is designed to be used in conjunction with their interface board. Read more about the…
