Pole Ergo (I think his name is Guy, but I’m happy to be corrected) from Lyon in France has taken a Raspberry Pi and made it ultra-mobile using a hinged 3D-printed case. He’s removed several components of the Pi itself,…
Giles Booth has followed on from Matt Hawkins’ work on using a Wiimote and hooked the Bluetooth remote control device up to the Pi and made it control Turtle graphics. You can change pen colour, lift and place the pen…
Frederick Vandenbosch is a maker with a keen eye for detail. His latest project is to build a robot tank using a DFRobot Devastator chassis with a Thunderborg motor controller board from PiBorg. He went for a cheap Bluetooth remote control called…
Arron over at Pi Borg has done a great guide for connecting to a wifi network (using both GUI and console) and using Bluetooth devices (GUI only) with your new Raspberry Pi Zero W. It is, of course, exactly the…
Everyone, it seems, loves the Raspberry Pi Zero. With its low price-point and slimline looks, it’s a great choice for embedded projects. Today, it gets even better: Raspberry Pi has launched the Raspberry Pi Zero W. The W stands for…
Matthew Timmons-Brown (aka The Raspberry Pi Guy) has been around for ages, providing tutorial and other videos. Now, he has embarked upon his most ambitious project yet by building his own motorised skateboard, controlled (of course) by a Raspberry Pi.…
David Pride, who previously created the wonderful motorised Connect 4 game (which handed me my butt at the Big Birthday Weekend), recently went to a car boot sale and found an “air drum” kit for £1. Taking this as inspiration, he…
