Caleb has put together this lovely hack which involves a Raspberry Pi Zero, an accelerometer breakout board, a 5″ TFT screen, some cables and a shedload of cardboard. It all comes together as a pair of VR goggles and uses…
Jolar, from Oxford Hackspace, has come up with a great way of doing 3D scans that needn’t break the bank. He’s used four Raspberry Pi Zeros and 4 Pi cameras mounted to a triangular frame. Each camera is pointing at…
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…
It’s always nice when you see an engineering project that attempts to really help people, and this is one of the best I’ve come across. A recent hackathon, hackABILITY, brought together teams to concentrate on providing solutions to disabled people. One…
Gary has taken a Raspberry Pi 2, a Pi NoIR Camera and an Infrared LED light source and created a portable ‘trail camera’. A 12V power source provides the necessary juice for the LEDs and a PiBorg BattBorg steps the…
Instructables user DrH has written up an interesting project that uses a Google AIY kit and some servos to create a robotic responder to your voice commands. You can read about the project here and see a demo video below.…
James Behrens has written an extremely detailed tutorial in which he uses a HUB75 HAT (a special kind of LED interface board) together with a Raspberry Pi to drive an LED matrix. He then uses the OpenWeatherMap API to get weather…
Instructables user hamedtaha has written a tutorial and accompanying code to display a to-do list (from ToDoIst), calendar and weather display (from Weather Underground) on a 7.5″ e-paper display from Waveshare. Read more here and/or watch the video below.
Happy New Year everybody! The owner of FacelessTech wanted a small retro gaming console so he turned to the Raspberry Pi Zero. He designed a custom circuit board to house the control buttons, taking inspiration from Wonky Resistor’s ScoreZero. He…
German electrical engineering student Tobias Lauxtermann has taken a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino MEGA and several other boards and bits and pieces and created a set of Christmas decorations that are controllable over the Internet. The Pi runs a Node.JS…
