A programming language called ‘Go’ is pretty big news nowadays. Personally, it scares the heck out of me. Sooooo complicated, but what do I know? Some people like it. Tom Mitchell has taken Go and written a great script to communicate…
Hi everyone. Caught a particularly nasty chest infection and flu on the flight back from Belfast, hence the lack of updates. I’m about 60% at the moment, but wanted to try and keep the bloggage going as best I can!…
Using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and an SGP30 air quality sensor from Adafruit, one Instructables user, Tim Clem, has created a plant pot with personality. They’ve added a small amp and speaker for sound and a Pimoroni Blinkt for indicator lights.…
Matt Hawkins has written a great tutorial in which he deals with installing the necessary software, and configuring it, to create an FTP server. This is useful for file storage and file management. Take a look here.
Robin Newman has taken a Raspberry Pi, a RasPiO Pro HAT and an Adafruit MPR121 touch capacitive breakout and created a touch-sensitive keyboard for Sonic Pi. He’s documented the whole process over on his blog along with all the installation instructions and…
Ivan Holland over at CPC Maker Space has done a great write-up of this little board that gives your Raspberry Pi ears. He takes you through the steps of installing the software necessary to use Google Voice Services. This makes the…
This is one of my rare not-strictly-Raspberry-Pi blog posts. Although using a Wemos, because the programming is in Micro Python, it wouldn’t be difficult to convert to using, say, an MCP3008 chip to read the analog values and then GPIO…
One of James West’s sons has been known not to hear the cry of “tea time!” because of loud music playing in his bedroom. James has come up with a Raspberry Pi solution to the problem featuring a 12V LED…
I do like a nice music-and-tech project and this one is pretty special. Called the Nsynth, this tablet-with-controls device is powered by a Raspberry Pi and accepts MIDI inputs which it then feeds through an openFrameworks app. The MIDI samples…
Max Kern has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a camera module and some power circuitry and sensors and created a first-person viewpoint wheeled security drone, the ZeroBot Pro, an upgrade from the previous ZeroBot (without the Pro!). The software…
