Use the #RaspberryPi as a syslog server
Muhammad Furqan has written an in-depth piece on intenseschool.com about using the Pi to record syslog messages sent from multiple network devices. Read more here
Use the PiGlow on the #RaspberryPi with RISCOS
Leo White has been working on getting the Pimoroni PiGlow working with RISCOS. He’s managed it and has posted the BASIC code up so that everyone can do it! This opens up a whole world of opportunity for RISCOS on…
ePaper weather station with #RaspberryPi and #Arduino derivative
Jeremy Blum has hacked an open source BADGEr which is an e-paper conference badge into a weather station using a Pi. The BADGEr is an e-paper display mounted on a shield with an ATMEGA328 onboard. He wrote some new firmware…
Easy internet radio with a #RaspberryPi
Using a Pi, a button and a resistor, it’s possible to create this ultra-simple internet radio. Giles Booth has written the project up and you can read all about it here. Thanks to Pi Weekly for spotting this!
Voice controlled electrical outlets with the #RaspberryPi
Ben Finio has written an excellent Instructable in which he details the process of reverse-engineering some wireless remotes for electrical sockets and then combines them with a Pi running Steven Hickson‘s VoiceCommand software. Read all about it here
Use Wolfram Mathematica to do more on your #RaspberryPi than you thought possible
And I thought that Mathematica was only for doing maths on the Pi. Boy was I wrong! The Foundation have just published a great article linking to several examples that show Mathematica doing some cool stuff over the GPIO. Read…
Add video streaming from your #RaspberryPi robot to a web device
This article from Linux User & Developer builds upon their previous work to do with building a robot with a Pi. To start with, the article takes you through using mpeg-streamer very nicely to stream video from your Pi Cam.…
Analog sensors without analog inputs on the #RaspberryPi
Electronics guru Simon Monk has posted on his blog about using some analog inputs, such as a potentiometer, with the Pi without needing to add an A2D chip. He’s done this by using a couple of resistors and a capacitor…
Talking reindeer decoration with a #RaspberryPi
They produce a lot of good material over at Penguin Tutor and it’s well worth keeping an eye out for new stuff. This tutorial is a bit of fun – they’ve taken a reindeer head decoration from HobbyCraft and outfitted…
