#RaspberryPi camera with Twitterbot
This is a work-in-progress but nice to take a look at if you like photography projects. Nicholas Moore is working on a camera based on work done by Adafruit with an automatic Tweet-sender program. Read more here.
Shutdown button for the #RaspberryPi
Phil has taken a nice big arcade button and hooked it up to the GPIO so that when he presses the button it shuts down his Pi. Read more here.
#RaspberryPi 7-segment temperature monitor
The Average Man previously wrote a tutorial on creating a prototype of his 7-segment temperature monitor. He’s now taken an EZasPi prototyping board and made a more permanent version. You can read more about the board and his use of it…
Animatronics and a #RaspberryPi come together to make art
Pierre Raufast has recently exhibited a piece of artwork in Berlin during the Pictoplasma 2014 Festival. In it, a pair of animatronic eyes identify people walking past and follow them. If there isn’t anyone there, the eyes search around for someone.…
The RasPiO Analog board for the #RaspberryPi
Alex Eames (from RasPi.TV) gave me one of his new boards to take a look at. It’s called the RasPiO Analog. It gives you the ability to add analog inputs to your Raspberry Pi. It’s essentially a GPIO plugin prototyping board…
Control LEDs with ScratchGPIO on the #RaspberryPi
Over at ScratchMyPi.co.uk, they’re starting a series on using Simon Walters’ ScratchGPIO to control various things connected to the GPIO pins. They’ve started simple – lighting up a few LEDs. If you’ve ever wanted to get into using the GPIO…
IM status indicator nameplates with the #RaspberryPi
This is a nice project. Reagan Ward wanted to give people an idea of whether he and his colleagues were in the office or not. He wired up a Pi with some perfboard and some RGB LEDs, did some nifty…
Review of 7 Seg for #RaspberryPi
Carl Monk backed Tom Garry’s IndieGoGo campaign and bagged himself a 7 Seg for Raspberry Pi kit. He soldered it together and tried it out and has now given his frank opinion in this review. Read it here.
Monitor #RaspberryPi system temperature with seven segment displays
The Average Man has begun a series of posts in which he will build a seven-segment temperature display for the Pi. To start with he’s building it on a breadboard but eventually it will be a removal package based on…
