Make Noughts and Crosses for #RaspberryPi with Python and PyGame
Liam Fraser at Linux User and Developer has written an article about making a noughts and crosses game for the Raspberry Pi.
Using a HMC5883L magnetometer/compass with the #RaspberryPi
This blog post describes getting an HMC5883L magnetic compass sensor to work with a Raspberry Pi. The pictures below show the sensor breakout board in question. For Arduino Leonardo If you do not have an Arduino, or just want the…
Raspberry Pi running 4 5V stepper motors from GPIO
I’ve been playing around with some stepper motors with driver boards that I bought from eBay. They have a lot of potential and I’m planning to use them on an astronomy project… but more on that later. The motors were £1.66…
Web Control of #RaspberryPi GPIO
Basic example of a web interface controlling the GPIO. Read the Instructable here. This isn’t as flashy as something like BerryIO but it gives you something basic to work from if you want to provide a web GUI.
Programming Pi-Face with Java & Pi4J on #RaspberryPi
Robert Savage has published another of his Java/Pi4J articles. This time, he tackles the Pi-Face expansion board and provides some example code for those looking to use Java on the Raspberry Pi! Read his article here.
#RaspberryPi Python class for controlling 28BJY-48 stepper motor with ULN2003 board
Stephen Phillips has written an excellent piece of Python to control a 5V stepper motor from the Raspberry Pi. This worked first time for me and it’s formed the basis of a new project that I’ve unimaginatively called ‘stepper-pi’. The code for stepper-pi is…
MRI image analysis with the #RaspberryPi
Very impressive guest post over on the Foundation’s website about using the Raspberry Pi as an image analyser for MRI images. Read the post here
Autonomous #RaspberryPi Tank… almost / @Raspberry_Pi
Ian Renton’s blog about building a Raspberry Pi-powered tank never ceases to amaze me. This time, it’s Raspberry Tank Day 25: The Beginnings of Autonomy. His tank takes on a cupboard and… well, you’ll have to read his blog to find…
Using an Ultrasonic range finder with the #RaspberryPi from Java.
Another excellent post from Carl Hughes. This time he takes readings from an ultrasonic range finder connected to his Raspberry Pi using Java. Read his article here
