Raspberry Pi is an incredibly versatile microcomputer that is perfect for any kind of DIY projects. From programming robots to building home automation systems, there are so many possibilities when it comes to designing creative and innovative raspberry pi projects. With its powerful yet low-cost hardware, plus plenty of open source software available, raspberry pi has become one of the most popular tinkering tools out there. But what kinds of projects can you make with this small but mighty computer? Read on for ideas and tutorials that will shake up your next project idea or two!
Pierre Villeneuve attached five hobby servos to a Lego model, controlled with a motor control board board and a RasPi. This is a nice way of controlling a Lego robot without needing to use Lego’s robotics components! I initially tried to control my servos directly from the Raspberry Pi through its GPIO ports using the […]
An updated wireless version of the the Kindleberry, a combination of theRaspberry Pi and the Amazon Kindle, using the new Kindle Paperwhite.
Some months ago I finished an original Space Invaders restoration project, but as you can see on the picture on the left, it was a little big for my daughter. So the other day I stumbled across a cheap 5.5 inch CRT black and white TV and I decided to make a “mini-me” version for her.
Congratulations to Intonarumori, the Lobbyist Meter, the Raspberry Pi-based State Poster, Walnut Raspberry Pi Enclosure, and the Raspberry Pi Powered Cat Feeder, who are all winners in the first ever Raspberry Pi Design Contest!
Aluminum cases for the Arduino and Raspberry Pi, custom CNC machined by Tux Labs, are now available in the Maker Shed.
I came across an excellent bit of wizardry by Rasmus Andersson called PeerTalk. It’s a Objective-C library allowing you to communicate between your iPhone and your Mac over the USB dock cable using TCP sockets. My immediate thought was that the same mechanism should be able to be used to talk to something like the BeagleBone, or the Raspberry Pi, not just your Mac.
Whiskey Tango Hotel’s Hand of Pi is a robot hand that gestures (sometimes rudely) when a tweet is sent to @OurCatDoor that contains certain keywords. It’s all controlled by a Raspberry Pi. Looks like this is one of the entries in our Raspberry Pi Design Contest which closed last night…
