Stroke and gesture recognition with a touchscreen on the #RaspberryPi
Mark Williams has done a tutorial on installing Xstroke which has a built-in list of strokes/gestures you can use via a touchscreen on the Pi. It reminds me a bit of the Graffiti system that used to be on PalmOS…
#RaspberryPi-controlled aquaponics
This is another Instructable, this time from user matthewh415. (It) uses the IBC method of Aquaponics, with modifications to include a Raspberry Pi for controlling a pump, solenoid drain, and temperature probes for water and air temperatures. The relays and timing…
Get notifications from your #RaspberryPi when new email arrives
Instructables employee Aleator777 has written an in-depth guide to creating an email notifier with a Pi. It checks a Gmail account and then lights up if there is new email. It’s quite a complicated tutorial and even uses laser-cut wooden…
Lots of #RaspberryPi tutorials and resources from David Briddock
David Briddock has been writing Pi-related tutorials for some time now and he’s now decided to collect them all together on an index page. Most of them are about programming in Java and Python and you can see the full…
Make a candle with the #RaspberryPi
Everyone knows that the equivalent of Hello World with the GPIO is to make an LED blink. Well, in this tutorial from Linux User magazine, Russell Barnes shows how to do it with some flair by using the PWM pin of…
Install and use Node.js on the #RaspberryPi
Frank Carver has done a short tutorial on installing Node.js, which is effectively a Javascript server, on the Pi. It’s all the rage nowadays and it’s worth having a go if you’re at all Javascript-orientated. Read all about it here
Use a PIR sensor with your #RaspberryPi
This is a nice little project to get you using your GPIO pins – a movement detector using a PIR sensor. Read how to do it here
Lunar phase clock uses the #RaspberryPi for something beautiful
The Raspberry Pi Foundation have covered Aleator777’s work to create a lunar phase clock. This is a lovely piece of work that uses John Conway’s lunar phase algorithm. All the computation and control of lights is done using the Pi. You…
Run a QuakeWorld server on your #RaspberryPi
Sorry everyone. Looks like the downloads have disappeared. RawShark has been looking at running QuakeWorld on his Pi and has now come up with a way to do it. Here are his instructions (reproduced from his original thread): 1. download…
