Alex Eames has done an excellent (as usual) video on how best to solder a header onto the P5 pin holes on the Raspberry Pi. The results are surprising, to say the least, but if you really want those extra pins, this is the best way of doing it! Read more and watch the video
Coronax has blogged about his ‘beginners’ experiment with Python and the PyGame library. He’s managed to get a working example of Conway’s Game of Life running on his Raspberry Pi. Read more here
Wouter van Wijk has built a Raspberry Pi distro image called Pi MusicBox that will run a Spotify server with little or no intervention or configuration. Read more here
Another quickie – just a link to a repository for OctoPrint which provides a responsive web interface for controlling a 3D printer (RepRap, Ultimaker etc). Get the code here
It has been pointed out to me that CAGE has mostly taken their script from Jeremy Blythe’s work here.
A quickie from CAGE Web Design – a Python script to print out some basic system info for the Raspberry Pi. Read the tutorial
Daniele Nicassio has done a great tutorial on using a webcam to automatically take photos every 10 seconds and then create a timelapse video out of the images, all on the Raspberry Pi. The great news for me is that he’s added a piece of code for ‘mencoder’ for making a series of images into a video, which is just what I need for the camera module photos I took. Read the tutorial over on Daniele’s site for more info.
