In this article I will talk about the use of a professional VPN service called Hide My Ass (I have no affiliation with them). This allows you to send and receive data online while appearing (to everyone else on the Internet) as though you are in a different country. They have VPN servers all over […]
“If you imagine it’s possible, someone else is already trying to doing it, or has already done it.” The Installer. This was how I left my musing on the fictitious open source Celestronic M1 chart plotter system. I wasn’t aware at the time how extensive the efforts were by an ever increasing cabal to build these types […]
Hello! In this project you will learn how to control an LED via your phone or desktop computer threw apache server! Step 1: What are we going to do in this project I’ve been working with the Raspberry Pi 2 for about a month now, and when I got it I knew I want to […]
You can pick up one of these for under £30 Heavy Disclaimer Although the Raspberry Pi described here is super cheap, you will have to have some slightly specialized network equipment to do this. In particular you will need a VLAN aware network switch and a VLAN aware Wifi Access Point at a minimum. These […]
rious methods can be used to detect lightning. Commonly it involves sensing the electromagnetic radiation generated by a strike. Most people have probably heard this at some point as static, crackles, and popping sounds on an AM radio. Some detectors are capable of picking up the flashes of light produced within a cloud, even during the day when […]
Project overview The project aims to equip standard remote control (RC) car with improved control. Commonly used RC car control joystick is replaced with PC racing set. This improvement ensures more precise driving and exceptional user experience. Moreover camera attached to car enables view from perspective of RC car, e.g, what would a driver in RC […]
Servos are similar to motors, but can typically only move from 0 to 60/120/180 degrees, rather than rotate continuously. Unlike a motor, you send a servo a signal that makes it go to a specific position (eg 30 degrees), making them ideal for applications such as moving parts of robots, or controlling surfaces on an […]
Project Description This project assumes you already have a Model A or B Raspberry Pi, power supply, HD card, screen, keyboard, network etc. Raspbian Wheezy OS. In this project I will show you how to construct a wireless switch. This project can be adapted to suit any application where you need a wireless […]
Installation Steps The following commands download and install PICPgm on your Raspberry Pi: cd ~ mkdir picpgm_install cd picpgm_install wget http://picpgm.picprojects.net/download/picpgm_v2810.tar.gz tar xzvf picpgm_v2810.tar.gz sudo ./install.sh cp pgmifcfg.xml ~ Note: For PICPgm versions till 2.8.1.0, a copy of pgmifcfg.xml has to be in your home directory. For newer versions this will no longer be required. […]
Introduction For the past 12 months or so after reading about the exploits of Dave Akerman and his first launching of a Raspberry Pi into near space I’ve been tinkering with the idea of launching a balloon myself. Although there isn’t a huge HAB community in NZ there have been some previous launches, and there […]
