Rip online radio station music using a #RaspberryPi
Not sure about the legality of this, so I’ll keep it brief. Here’s a tutorial on ripping music from online radio stations using the Linux software package ‘streamripper’. Everyday Linux User: Using your Raspberry PI to rip music from online…
Control Google Earth Flight simulator with #Arduino – maybe with #RaspberryPi?
Two Arduino posts in one morning, what is the world coming to? Here’s an Instructable where an Arduino and accelerometer sensor is used to control the Google Earth Flight Simulator on a Windows machine. I wonder if the same can…
Debrick your router using #Arduino – possibly with #RaspberryPi ?
Here’s a blog post that someone wrote after bricking (really, really messing up) their TP-Link WR740N router. They used an Arduino to communicate over serial pins to the router and then pushed a new firmware to it, thus saving the…
