Raspberry Pi users can now connect an additional SDIO or eMMC device directly to the HAT connector, thanks to recent kernel and boot blob updates. This expansion unlocks enhanced storage solutions and complex computing tasks, empowering users to push the boundaries of their single board computers. In a transformative update for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts and […]

1. Introduction: Raspberry Pi Embedded System Development Kit The Raspberry Pi Embedded System Development Kit offers an ideal platform for both learning and utilizing Raspberry Pi capabilities. Built around the Raspberry Pi Zero, it features a 320*240 LCD with touch functionality for display purposes, along with an integrated chip for audio processing, playback, and recording. […]

Introduction The upcoming guide will demonstrate how to utilize the Raspberry Pi as an object counter utilizing an Infrared (IR) sensor. IR sensors, renowned for their ability to detect object proximity, will be harnessed for tallying objects traversing our miniature conveyor system. In developing our Python Flask application, we’ll employ the WebSockets protocol, facilitating real-time […]

Waveshare has released a new development board for makers that are partial to the Raspberry Pi Pico’s RP2040. Being one of our favorite microcontrollers, we found the opportunity to share hard to ignore. This new board is called the RP2040-GEEK and it sports a color LCD screen on one side as well as access to some useful ports. […]

This project illustrates the configuration of a Raspberry Pi as a surveillance camera system capable of capturing photo snapshots and sending them to mobile phones via MMS text messages. The process is initiated by a GPIO alarm input. In my Python application, I utilize a magnetic door sensor to activate the alarm, but various sensors […]

Flipper Devices and Raspberry Pi, have come together to create a new gaming module for the Flipper Zero device. This collaboration is a significant development for those interested in gaming, cybersecurity, and electronics, as it brings together the strengths of both companies to push the boundaries of what’s possible with open-source tools. The Flipper Zero, known for its versatility, has just become even more powerful […]

1.  Introduction       Problem With the emergence of renewable energy sources, maintaining grid stability has become increasingly challenging. According to a 2018 study on consumer energy management, 68% of residential consumers, a 3% increase from 2016, express significant concern about climate change and their carbon footprints. Additionally, 7 in 10 businesses report that their customers […]

Listening to police and fire calls used to be a pretty simple proposition: buy a scanner, punch in some frequencies — or if you’re old enough, buy the right crystals — and you’re off to the races. It was a pretty cheap and easy hobby, all things considered. But progress marches on, and with it […]

Like cassette tapes and floppy disks, 8-track tapes are very susceptible to degradation because data is stored on magnetized media. On top of that, 8-track tapes are old enough that physical damage is very common. For example, the foam pads on almost all original 8-track tapes have long since crumbled into dust. Alon Boris wanted […]

Over the years there have been so many times when Microsoft came up with a product that so nearly got it right, but which tanked in the market because the folks at Redmond had more of an eye to what fitted their strategy than what the customer wanted. The Surface RT was one of these: while the […]
