Over at 314Reactor, one ingenious maker has taken a Raspberry Pi A+ and created his very own smart watch running Windows 98. He uses the emulation software QEMU to run the operating system, a small TFT screen to display it…
Arron over at Pi Borg has done a great guide for connecting to a wifi network (using both GUI and console) and using Bluetooth devices (GUI only) with your new Raspberry Pi Zero W. It is, of course, exactly the…
Albert Hickey recently went to a Raspberry Jam and took along with him his latest project: a green-screen photo booth. The booth, which runs on a Raspberry Pi 3, uses Imagemagick to remove the colour green (provided by a green backdrop purchased from…
I’ve just spotted this new resource on the Raspberry Pi website’s resources section. It shows you how to get started with controlling the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins using visual programming language Node-RED. It’s a nice tutorial and helps you get…
Josh King has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero, a PaPiRus 2″ e-ink HAT, an Adafruit Powerboost 1000c and a LiPo battery and made himself a name badge. He’s written the whole thing up as an Instructable which you can read here. Thanks to…
Gus over at PiMyLifeUp has done a comprehensive tutorial on using the Pi as a network print server. He uses a piece of software on the Pi called CUPS and shows you how to configure it to achieve the correct result.…
Recently, I reviewed the JustBoom AmpHAT and found it to be an excellent piece of kit for those that like their audio ‘just right’. Well, now it’s little brother, the Amp Zero pHAT has been used in a project that looks really lovely. Frederick…
Rui Santos from Portugal has written an excellent, comprehensive tutorial for those who want to get into ESP8266 boards and control them from a Raspberry Pi. He uses Python on the Raspberry Pi, with imported MQTT libraries, and C code…
Here’s another tutorial, this time in the form of an Instructable, although it’s not for the ‘beginner’. It uses wires of different lengths, an accelerometer to detect different vibrations caused by plucking the wires and an MCP3008 analog-to-digital converter chip to…
Here’s a good little tutorial I found on GitHub. It uses an 801s vibration module and a Raspberry Pi Zero to detect vibrations from a home appliance, such as a washing machine. If it detects stillness for a specified amount of…
