Over at RaspiRobot, Peter Mansvelder has used an L298N H bridge module to generate PWM signals from the Pi
Oxford #RaspberryJam Report from DesignSpark
Although I attend the Milton Keynes Raspberry Jam regularly, I like to keep an eye out for reports from other Jams. This one:
Oxford Raspberry Jam – Jan 2013 » DesignSpark
is particularly interesting as it contains details of several projects including:
- Raspberry Pi Photobooth
- Pi-powered 3D RepRap printer
- RaspIO – a prototype input/output expansion board, particularly aimed at the education market.
- A hacked IM-me device working as a wireless console terminal device.
- A Solenoid Sequencer as an electronic drum machine.
Building a personal microcontent server with #RaspberryPi
DesignSpark member Andrew Back takes a look at how a Raspberry Pi can be used together with TiddlyWeb and TiddlyWiki to create a personal microcontent server for hosting wikis and much more.

Etech Magazine issue 10 focuses on #Raspberry Pi
Etech magazine at Design Spark has a nice article about the Raspberry Pi as well as more Arduino-related stuff.
Automatic TV volume adjuster with an #Arduino
I daresay that this can be done with a Raspberry Pi as well, or it can be connected to an XBMC media centre running on the Pi, so I’m featuring it here.
This is an Instructable on creating an Arduino device that detects the volume level of a television and then automatically issues infra-red signals to turn the volume up or down.
Read the Instructable here. Let me know if you get it working with a Pi!
Create your own #Arduino on a breadboard
New York University’s Introduction to Physical Computing course has written a tutorial on how to create a fully functional and compatible USB-enabled Arduino clone on a breadboard. This includes step-by-step instructions.
