Who doesn’t love music? These Piano Stairs are an interactive, relatively portable, musical installation that can be applied to basically any stairwell. I built them for HackPrinceton along with my friends Erica Portnoy and Vincent Castaneda, and we won 2nd place in the hardware track. I’ve had requests to share my code and diagrams, so […]
Whilst developing BerryCam I thought it would be pretty cool to create a timelapse camera that could be left outdoors over a period of time, to capture a sequence of images that could be later joined together into a video clip. From the outset thoughts turned to housing everything in an ‘Illy’ coffee tin as […]
I have been lurking on Instructables for a few years but have never posted one myself. Now I have bought a home of my own it’s time to undergo some projects and share them with the community. In my first project I’m going to show you how I setup multi-room audio that can be controlled […]
This instructable describes how to build a surveillance cam based on a Raspberry Pi micro-computer which records HD video when something moves in the monitored area. Live picture can be viewed from any web browser, even from your mobile while you’re on the road. What you will get: See live stream in any web browser […]
Update 1/14/2014: Thanks to everyone who voted for this project in the Hardware Hacking Contest! Looking forward to my new maker pen. Update 12/31/2013: looking for a more advanced version of this project? Check out my new multi-channel voice-controlled version. We all know you could just go BUY an electrical outlet timer instead of building […]
OK, Instructables is really having some strange issues, Once again the Intro disappeared, now the history is gone, and I’ve had to recreate the Intro from a PDF download. I had some issues with Kingston SD Cards, but the SanDisk cards I’m using now have run for weeks without issues, so I’m changing the parts […]
I find the sound of rain really soothing, and wanted a device to just play rain sounds for me. I figured the Raspberry Pi would be perfect for this. So I wrote a Python script that selects a random number, and, based on the number, selects a rain sound to play. After that, I stuck […]
This project combines the Raspberry Pi, Arduberry and a huge set of Air Horns to alert us whenever we have a new backer on Kickstarter. We recently launched the Arduberry on Kickstarter which brings a seamless experience to Raspberry Pi by providing a very simple yet powerful way to interface the Arduino sensors and shields […]
Wish that the Autobot Blaster Transformer could play music when you were a kid? Well now you can with this Instructable!ABSOLUTELY NO PROGRAMMING SKILLS NECESSARY 🙂This Instructable shows you how to create a Classic Boombox with a Raspberry Pi. The model that is being used for this project is the Autobot Blaster Generation 1 from […]
The motivation for this project came when I combined my Raspberry Pi voice-controlled electrical outlets with a RetroPie. Due to the number of peripherals and cables involved (a powered USB hub, microphone, two USB controllers, breadboard, wireless remote, plus the normal HDMI and power cables for the Pi), this led to a pretty tangled mess […]
