Using Scratch to control #RaspberryPi GPIO remotely
Simon Walters (Cymplecy) has worked out how to control Scratch, running on the Raspberry Pi, from Scratch running on another computer. It requires a broadcast-listen set-up and he has documented the procedure on his blog. Read how to do it here
Games and Utilities for #RaspberryPi Minecraft
Nicholas Harris has put together a collection of Minecraft Pi utilities and games. There are two games: Arena (avoid the disappearing floor) and Dodge (stay away from the oncoming ‘lava’). The utilities are varied, so take a look on Stuff…
Communicate over serial using #RaspberryPi and C#
Not sure why anyone would want to use C# on the Pi… but I guess if you have the skills then why not. Here’s a quick example of using C# to send text out over the serial port. Read more here
MUD Pi – a Multi User Dungeon written in Python for the #RaspberryPi
Mark Frimston from up in Manchester has created an open source project which allows multiple users to connect in a ‘multi user dungeon’ experience. As it’s written in Python it will be really easy to extend. If you’re into text-based…
RaspberryPi GPIO in C++
Hussam Al-Hertani over at hertaville.com has written an excellent tutorial, with code and breadboard diagram, on how to control the GPIO through C++. Read the tutorial here
Rock Paper Scissors with Python on the #RaspberryPi
Trevor Appleton has written a nice example program that emulates a Rock, Paper, Scissors game over on his blog. Read about it and get the script here
Controlling an RC car using a Wii Balance Board and #RaspberryPi
Conor O’Neill has been experimenting with using a Wii balance board and the cwiid library to control an i-racer remote control car via a Raspberry Pi. Read more here or watch the video below
Shutdown a #RaspberryPi by removing a USB device
Claudio d’Angelis has come up with a neat way of shutting down his Raspberry Pi by tying the shutdown command to the removal of a USB device. There are probably easier ways to do it, but this script makes it…
Live motion tracking with the #RaspberryPi
The Foundation has blogged about a motion tracking experiment developed by Erik Haderup. It “uses a Raspberry Pi to wirelessly transmit live motion tracking data from a set of 13 inertial measurement units”. Read about it and watch a video here
