Matt, over at Raspberry Pi Spy, has written a brief guide to using the Nano text editor. This is an essential piece of software for those who work from the command line and is the staple for things like Git.
Chart ambient vs outside temperature with a #RaspberryPi
Over at WhiskeyTangoHotel.com, they’ve written a tutorial that takes a Pi, a DS18B20 temperature sensor and a sen.se account to record and plot out temperature readings.
Stereoscopic viewer using a #RaspberryPi and a retro device
Vancouver-based Alec Smecher has taken a vintage View-Master toy and crammed in a Raspberry Pi, the innards of a CD-ROM drive and 2 OLED displays to create a portable stereoscopic video player. It’s a truly astounding mod and it’s well worth reading his article on how he put it together.

3D scanner made up of 40 #RaspberryPi boards and cameras
Richard has developed a 3D scanner using the Pi and the camera module… actually, 39 of them! He’s created an Instructable and also set-up a website specifically for the project. He recently took it to the Maker Faire in Groningen, Netherlands where he scanned over 200 people. Here’s a video of that appearance and some of the results. Truly outstanding work.
Dual-Protocol Routing with #RaspberryPi
This is one for the network engineers amongst you. I can’t make heads-or-tails of it, and I haven’t read it in-depth, but it seems that you can make a router out of a Raspberry Pi by using the Routing Advertisement Daemon (RADVD) and Quagga.
#RaspberryPi – enabled piano stairs are a hit at HackPrinceton 2013
Bonnie Eisenman and her team used light sensors and torches to create a set of musical stairs at Princeton. The sensors are read using an Arduino and the Pi is used to produce the sounds.
