Robin Newman has recently been experimenting with Python OSC which, among other things, can be used to tie Python and Sonic Pi’s Ruby implementation together. This way, you can control a device driven by Python from inside Sonic Pi. Once such…
Instructables user ‘dearner’ has taken a Raspberry Pi, four 32×32 RGB LED matrix boards, an Adafruit RGB matrix HAT, a good extra power supply for the matrices and some smaller parts and created a long LED display. He’s then created…
Gosse Adema has created a 12-inch high 3D-printed lamp that tells you the weather forecast. He has used 288 WS2812 addressable LEDs to achieve a stunning effect which combines to tell you the temperature (vertically from blue to red) and…
Andy Felong needs a bit of assistance when parking in his garage because there’s a ladder sticking out just in the wrong place. A typical bodge-it solution would be to hang a tennis ball from the ceiling so that it touches the…
Kelly Hirano wanted to see how switching devices in his home on and off affected his electricity usage. Excited by the possibilities of reading the data from his SmartMeter, he discovered that he could buy a product (a Rainforest Eagle-200)…
dekuNukem has created a great system for keeping track of how long you spend playing games working hard in front of your computer screen. He’s taken a Pi camera module, which is focused on the computer user and a Raspberry Pi…
Jeremiah Mattison has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a seven-segment display with I2C backpack and an MCP9808 I2C temperature sensor and combined them to make this digital clock. The temperature sensor takes the temperature inside the room while the Zero…
The inimitable Mr Les Pounder has written up a brilliant project in which he utilises a string of Neopixel-like lights to give his Christmas Tree some blinky cheer. Soldered up on a ProtoZero board, the circuit requires a few bits…
Giles Booth likes to make radios out of tech. This time, he’s taken a Pimoroni Hyperpixel and a Pi and installed on the SD card MPC and MPD which allows him to play streams or MP3 files. He’s then programmed the…
Average Man (Richard Saville) has been continuing his resurgence into the world of Raspberry Pi. This time, he’s chosen to build a Plex server monitor out of a Raspberry Pi and a 20×4 LCD screen. He’s used the Plex API…
