Anvil is a web app builder website that has just launched a new “IoT Toolkit” for the Raspberry Pi Pico W called the Pico Uplink. By downloading their UF2 image (which is MicroPython-based), you will be able to send data…
Following various examples, I’ve created a MicroPython script that does the following: Create an access point on the Raspberry Pi Pico W. Create a web server. Serve a simple page on that web server. Toggle/flash the on-board LED when that…
Nick decided that he wanted a more visual representation of the attempts bots made to attack and gain access to his server. To do this, he took a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a Pimoroni Blinkt and a 7-segment display and…
Apologies for the dearth of posts recently – work’s been a bit… intense and Pi Wars preparations have taken their toll! Pi Supply have launched a new Kickstarter campaign for several different types of add-on boards which use LoRa technology.…
There have been lots of tutorials about how to create a Raspberry Pi wireless access point in the past, but they have become slightly out of date over time. This new one from the May 2018 issue of Maximum PC…
Roboberry, over at Raspberry Connect, has documented a way to automatically create a wifi hotspot on your Pi if your wifi connection to your router fails, or if there is no router to connect to. This is a great idea…
Gordon Hollingworth, over at Raspberry Pi, has just blogged an exciting new development that means you can now use a Raspberry Pi Zero’s GPIO pins from your PC or Mac. You’ll need to install Raspbian x86 Stretch on the non-Zero machine…
James was trying to allocate a static IP address to his Pi. He did what he’d always done and allocated the static address to eth0 but was then bewildered as to why it wasn’t working. He discovered that the naming…
Alex Eames has been doing some investigation into wifi connections. Specifically, how to create a connection to a hidden wifi network so that the Pi automatically connects each time it is booted up. He’s found the secret sauce inside wpa_supplicant…
Taron Foxworth over at Losant has done a great, short tutorial on preparing a Pi Zero W (or any Raspberry Pi with wifi capability, be it built-in or dongle, for that matter) for wifi connectivity and enabling ssh headlessly. This means…
