A very clever chap over at SolderChips is currently designing and 3D-printing a scale replica of a Half Life 2 sentry gun/turret. A Raspberry Pi will be used to do facial image recognition and then tell an Arduino to control some servos…

RasPiO Duino LCD kit – review
Alex was kind enough to send me one of these kits but I’m free to say what I like. This kit is all about learning how to display data onto an LCD screen from analog temperature sensors. The basic kit…
New add-on for the RasPiO Duino launched for the Raspberry Pi
Alex Eames did a Kickstarter a while ago for the RasPiO Duino, which is a GPIO add-on board for the Raspberry Pi that gives you an ATMega 328P-PU chip (which is the same as an Arduino Uno) as well as loads…
Building a water meter for your home with a Raspberry Pi
David Schneider lives in North Carolina, but used to live in California. Both States have suffered from water shortages to a lesser or greater extent and so he decided to implement a water meter system using an Arduino (to take…
Helicarrier bed uses Raspberry Pi as a command centre
Andy wanted to do something special for his son. So, he took his inspiration from Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. and built a raised bed with a den underneath. He then filled the den with all manner of tech and Marvel stuff and then…
Arduino on the Raspberry Pi – RasPiO Duino vs Gertduino
Hans Otten likes to use ATmega chips in conjunction with the Raspberry Pi. To do this, he has purchased two boards: the RasPiO Duino and the Gertduino. He has extensively reviewed the two products over on his blog and has…
Reading analog signals with the RasPiO Duino and the Raspberry Pi
Alex Eames has now finished his series of videos about the RasPiO Duino, the great little add-on board for the Pi that gives you an ATMega chip, breakouts and a prototyping area. The last video is all about reading analog…
Control ALL THE THINGS with the Raspberry Pi
Over at Makezine.com, Neil Davenport has used a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino and some other basic circuitry to build a speech interpreter that controls devices around the home. He uses the set-up with some off-the-shelf devices such as lights, and even a…
Wearable guerilla video projection device made out of a Raspberry Pi
Artist R▲has created the VIDEOBLAST_R which is a wrist-mounted device which allows the wearer to project pre-prepared artistic imagery on any surface. Animation is triggered by a Wii nunchuck controller and the whole thing is mounted on a rollerblade armguard. An…
Decryption machine reproduction with a Raspberry Pi (Turing-Welchman)
The Turing-Welchman Bombe was a decryption machine used in World War II to decipher Enigma-encoded German messages. There is a real one running at Bletchley Park: New Zealander Simon Jensen visited Bletchley and decided that he wanted to build a replica…
