Make your own set of piano stairs with a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino
Back in November 2013, Bonnie Eisenman and her team used light sensors and torches to create a set of musical stairs at Princeton: The team have now written up the project as an Instructable so you can create your very own…
Pixar lamp robot made with an ODROID-U3 provides inspiration
Not strictly Raspberry Pi, but I reckon it would be possible to reproduce with a Pi 2. Here’s a lovely project from Jochen Alt. It is a robot lamp called Luci which uses an ATmega chip to generate PWM signals for…
Oxford Flood Network uses Raspberry Pis to detect rising water
The Oxford Flood Network uses a network of ultrasonic sensors in a flood-prone area to detect water levels and broadcast their data over short distances to Raspberry Pi-based gateways; these aggregate the data and pass it to an open online…
Build a Raspberry Pi powered arcade console with an Arduino controller
Here’s a nice tutorial from Tyler Winegarner over at Make. It uses the PiPlay distro to give you an arcade emulator. You then add your controller in the form of an Arduino Esplora and configure your games accordingly. All the instructions for how…
3D printed portable Raspberry Pi games console
I’ve featured a few of these before, but this one looks particularly nice. Rasmus Hauschild is 14 years old and from Denmark. He has created a portable retro games console with the Pi and some nifty 3D printing. He has posted up…
Flappy Bird game controlled by brainwave activity via a Raspberry Pi
On 6th June, we held a Cambridge Raspberry Jam at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. One of our Show and Tell tables was manned by Carl Monk and Albert Hickey. Albert has created a game called ‘Flappy Bird’ using Python…
Arduino programming for the Raspberry Pi – RasPiO Duino launched for general sale
Alex Eames from RasPi.TV recently ran a very successful Kickstarter campaign for the RasPiO Duino – an add-on board for the Raspberry Pi. The Duino contains the same ATMEGA 328 chip that is on an Arduino and plugs directly onto the first 26 pins…
Automated waste sorter uses a Raspberry Pi
Harrison Bradley, Jeff Bertel and Marc Welsh studied on the Advanced Mechatronics course at Georgia Tech. They’ve created an apparatus which takes in a piece of waste and then automatically sorts it depending on what the object is identified as: cans…
Beginnings of a greenhouse monitor project using a Raspberry Pi
Romilly Cocking and his wife own an allotment about half a kilometre from where they live. Romilly wanted to set up a wireless monitor between the greenhouse on the allotment and their home. To do this, he’s experimenting with a…
