Here’s a great robot made using a Raspberry Pi as it’s brain. No details on how it was done, but I’m hoping to find out some more. In the meantime, take a look at the video:
Lallafa has found a way to use a relatively cheap TFT display on his Raspberry Pi. He’s even found a way to compile his driver into the kernel so you can use it as a boot screen. He claims to be able to run at 25 fps, which is enough to watch videos smoothly. He’s posted a full tutorial and guide on his blog. Read it here
Hosted by ISSUU, this week’s EEWeb Pulse from the Electrical Engineering Community has got masses of Raspberry Pi-related interviews and coverage. Read it here
Robert Arrowsmith is using a DVB-T dongle to create a radio astronomy platform. He’s currently got the dongle picking up FM radio traffic. Follow his project blog here
Martin O’Hanlon read about someone reading diagnostics from a motorbike and decided to adapt the work to read OBD-II information from his car.
He found an adapter that converted the car port to USB and then created a Python script to read and output the data.
