A few months ago I found through a MOOC at Universidad Galileo, that was possible to convert a Raspberry PI in “almost” a laptop. This idea caught my attention, by turning this “micro” in an independent computer. I investigate how to do it and I concluded that it was possible for me to do so, […]

Hello Makers, In this instructable I will be showing you how to prepare a Raspberry Pi2 for use with a Phidgets Interfacekit 8/8/8 The Products from Phidgets allow you to connect sensors an actuators to your pc/pi/mac through the usb port. Most of the sensors do not require any soldering. http://www.phidgets.com/ There are plenty of

The Raspberry Pi itself is about the size of a credit card, but it only has a standard full sized SD card slot. When you plug in a standard full sized SD card into it, the card sticks out of the outline of the Raspberry Pi, making the overall size slightly larger. My solution is

This is a low power home file server I built from a raspberry pi and two USB drive cases. I’ve mapped it as a network drive on all of my home computers, so we have one common repository for files, documents, and pictures. It’s set up with two hard drives, one a mirror of the

My progeny loves operating our Nerf TerraDrone named James. He is able to animate James while trying to stay out of sight so I got the idea of using the Pi Surveillance Project by Michael Castor from the April/May 2015 edition of Make Magazine to make a poor person’s FPV. This build will require the

With Docker on the Raspberry Pi we are able to connect cloud tools with IoT devices. So how can we interact with the real world from inside a Docker container? Let’s see and get physical… To keep the tutorial simple we will use the binary from the wiringPi project within a Docker container. This command

Hex keypad. In an 8051 microcontroller, it requires 12 cycles of the processor clock for executing a single instruction cycle. For an 8051 microcontroller clocked by a 12MHz crystal, the time taken for executing one instruction cycle is 1µS and it is according to the equation, Time for 1 instruction cycle= 12 /12MHz = 1µS.

What is it? I2C (“eye squared cee”) is a versatile bus invented by Philips, running over two wires. The bus has been extended to be faster and support more devices on a bus, but the standard definition holds up to 128 devices or so (7-bit addressing) and speeds of up to 100kb/sec. (Theoretical max, some
