An Atari Asteroids controller for the #RaspberryPi
I love retro projects (as evidenced by Daniel Bull’s recent guest post) and this one is great. Tim Bartlett has created his own arcade case and added arcade buttons and a Raspberry Pi to be able play the old Atari…
Analog sensors without analog inputs on the #RaspberryPi
Electronics guru Simon Monk has posted on his blog about using some analog inputs, such as a potentiometer, with the Pi without needing to add an A2D chip. He’s done this by using a couple of resistors and a capacitor…
rpi-update and apt-get update/upgrade on the #RaspberryPi explained
I’m just sitting here running updates on my Pi in an effort to get camera streaming working and I thought it would help to give an explanation of the various updates you might want to run. I found a rather…

Carrying on from my previous post, you can now contribute to the general festive feeling in my house by controlling my PiRingo Christmas decoration. If you go to: http://109.151.115.130:8081/index.html you should get an interface to fire off various effects. Please comment on…
Bullet time effect with 48 #RaspberryPi and cameras
The team at PiFace Digital created a rig of 48 Pis, complete with camera modules and PiFace boards, put them into a circle and created the Frozen Pi – a bullet time photographic system. The Pis are triggered at the…
ScratchGPIO gets support for the Pibrella #RaspberryPi add-on board
Simon Walters (@cymplecy) has been beavering away at his ScratchGPIO software. This software brings GPIO support to Scratch so that you can use LEDs and, now, expansion boards from the popular visual programming environment. The latest board to receive support…
Festive fun with the PiRingo LED board for the #RaspberryPi
Just in time for Christmas, ebay and Amazon seller 4tronix have developed a cute little GPIO add-on board for the Pi. It has a ring of LEDs and two switches meaning you can use it in a PiGlow-type way but…
