Remote-controlled Raspberry Pi spybot
Zach Igielman has taken a Pi2Go robot kit from 4tronix plus the pan-and-tilt mechanism for the camera, and created a robot. He’s then used SSH to remote-control it and a web interface to see the video camera stream. Here’s the…
Raspberry Pi security camera using a RasPiO Duino
Alex Eames has been busy experimenting with a way to replace an old low-res security camera at his house in Poland. He’s come up with a Pi-controlled, servo-positioned camera that will accept commands over Twitter. The core of the project is…
Aerial photography from a kite with a Raspberry Pi
Richard Hayler (who has previously done very many cool things with a Pi) has developed his own “kite mapping” rig using a Raspberry Pi. He’s taken a model A+, a camera module, an Xtrinsic Sensor board and a ProtoCam prototyping board, meshed…
Selfie camera with a Raspberry Pi and a Pipsta printer
Spencer Organ has blogged about his new project: a selfie camera with automatic printing facility. He’s used a Raspberry Pi camera module and a Pipsta printer to do it. He’s published the 14-line piece of code over on his blog, so…
Fridge with a Raspberry Pi automatically orders fruit for you
American Steve Hickson has done an excellent home automation proof-of-concept. He’s placed a Raspberry Pi and camera module inside his fridge (and made sure that the light stayed on). The Pi takes a picture, analyses it and identifies whether there…
Lisiparoi Raspberry Pi camera light – Review
Lisiparoi creator Jason Barnett was kind enough to send me one to review, so here goes… Introduction The Lisiparoi is, simply, a light for your Raspberry Pi camera module. It comes in two flavours: the white Lisiparoi is for the normal…
Dual Raspberry Pi camera streaming to an Oculus Rift with the Compute Module
Torkel Danielsson has paired the Compute Module using two cameras with a PC and, with a friend, has developed a way of streaming the stereo images to an Oculus Rift 2. Not much detail on how, but it’s very cool…
Raspberry Pi “action camera” inside a 3D case
Connor Yamada has done a nice write-up of his project to create an ‘action camera’ with his Raspberry Pi and Camera Module. The results are mixed, to say the least, but it does show what is possible with a bit…
Solar eclipse captured by multiple Raspberry Pis
The Pi really came into it’s own as a piece of scientific equipment last Friday during the solar eclipse. Multiple people set up webcams to capture the event, perhaps the best one was at the National STEM Centre in York… which…
