The Raspberry Pi Foundation has launched a new educational resource to to commemorate the declaration of World War I. With it, you’ll be able to build your own morse code machine and have a Raspberry Pi play the morse and interpret what you’ve sent signals for. It’s a great project to build, especially for kids over the summer holiday. Use their new resource here.
Tobias Simon has posted some information onto DIY Drones about a quadcopter he’s developing which is controlled by a Raspberry Pi. Here’s a list of components he’s used:
Their software is called PenguPilot and is available here.
Here’s a video of it in action:
Nicholas Moore has done a conversion of a Gameboy shell he purchased from Kitsch-Bent by adding a Raspberry Pi and some other components, together with a handy retro gaming image from Adafruit. You can read how he did it here or watch a video of it in action below.
Jonathan Porta has written a client/server application using Node.js and Angular.js on the Pi to control a model train set. He strapped a GoPro to the roof of the train and has got some great footage (below). You can view the code here and you can expect a write-up on his blog in the near future.
Andy & Chris at AndyPi have worked out a way to use an old modem and an LCD screen to display caller ID. Have a read how they did it by downloading the PDF on their blog page.
Here’s a nice, basic tutorial article from Rob Zwetsloot over at Linux User magazine. It shows you how to get started mining Bitcoins natively on the Pi. Read it here.
