Create your own face tracking, pan and tilt camera on the Raspberry Pi! This tutorial will demonstrate use of the OpenCV (computer vision) library to identify and track faces on the raspberry pi using two servos and a USB webcam. For the interested, I previously covered a more thorough overview of the installation of OpenCV […]

This is the second part of a 2-part series on ‘How to build a High-Definition FPV UAV using a Raspberry PI with HD camera, using a high speed WiFi link. In my first post on the subject (located here), I discussed the parts I used, and how to install them into a Hobby King Go-Discover FPV
HAB (High Altitude Ballooning) is a growing hobby where enthusiasts use standard weather balloons to put small payloads typically 100g-1kg into “near space” at altitudes of around 30km or so, carrying a tracking device (so the balloon position is known throughout the flight) and usually some sensors (temperature, pressure etc) and often a video or

This will allow you to create a remote webcam for your Raspberry Pi so that you can view it from any computer on the local network. For this instructable you will need: • Raspberry Pi with an Whezzy Raspbian installed and internet connection established • Webcam (I use PS3 Eye Camera, but it will work

This may seem like it already exists, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. So, I made it myself: a camera mount for the Raspberry Pi that you can easily mount onto any standard tripod. Step 1: Create the 3D Model I looked around for an existing tripod camera mount. I couldn’t find exactly what I

summary for the curious Commercial aircraft in Australia (and a lot of the world) periodically transmit their location and the altitude. Aircraft with ADS-B determine their position using GPS; and broadcast that position along with identity string, altitude (plus other useful information such as speed). Using some inexpensive components, we can build a receiver to listen to

he picture frame has come a long way since the last post. I now have the wooden frame for it built and almost done but we will come back to that in a minute. Since the last update I have completely remade some of the electronics. The only reason I did this is because I

UPDATE: I’ve revised the circuit design. I no longer recommend connecting the Arduino Uno to the Raspberry Pi’s I2C pins together without the use of a logic level shifter. The revised design uses one from www.adafruit.com. As part of a larger project I’m doing right now I’ve connected an Arduino Uno, as an I2C slave,

Replacing a simple and inexpensive remote cable release for your camera with Raspberry Pi may seem like a classic case of over-engineering, but using the tiny machine to control the camera opens up a whole new world of photographic opportunities. Using a simple Python script, you can turn Raspberry Pi into a powerful and flexible intervalometer or trigger
