Motion-triggered music player with a Raspberry Pi
Here’s a nice Instructable tutorial from jenfoxbot. She uses an infra-red sensor that detects when the beam is broken and then plays music. The sensor is set-up across a doorway so that when someone comes through the door, omxplayer is triggered…
Using a Raspberry Pi 2 to make MIDI music
JosephEarnest has taken a Raspberry Pi 2, a USB digital-to-analogue converter (for sound output) and some other components soldered to stripboard to create a midi input/output device. The software is written in Python and cython and is available here. He’s made…
Vintage radio brought to life with a Raspberry Pi
Martin O’Hanlon is usually to be seen hacking around with Minecraft Pi. This time, however, he’s taken one of his wife’s collection of broken useless rubbish vintage radios, a Raspberry Pi, an IQaudIO audio board and amplifier and some other small parts and given it…
Squeezebox built from a Raspberry Pi and an ammo box
Richard Deininger has built a Squeezebox using a Pi and an Adafruit PiTFT and encased the whole thing inside a surplus NATO ammunition box. A Squeezebox is a network streaming device that sends MP3s over a LAN. Read about how…
Sinclair Spectrums join together with Raspberry Pi to solve 33-year old programming problem
When the ZX Spectrum was launched in 1982, chapter 19 contained a programming problem: use the BEEP command to play Mahler’s first symphony funeral march. Well, some programmers from Oxford’s Museum of the History of Science, led by Matt Westcott, have…
Make your own Raspberry Pi-powered drum kit
Carmelito Andrade has written an excellent tutorial in which he uses the Adafruit Capacitive Touch HAT together with a Raspberry Pi Model A+ and some 3D-printed bits to create a Pi-powered drum kit. Read it here.
Guitar powered by a Raspberry Pi and Arduino plays network logs
Ben Reardon saw a robot playing a classical guitar in 1988 at a World Expo in Brisbane, Australia. It stuck in his mind and he has now done his own version using a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino and some servos…
