The first step in playing with a Raspberry Pi’s GPIO interface is to turn an LED on and off on command, the Hello World of digital electronics. As fun as that is, it would be more fun to do from my mobile phone using my home wireless network, this article runs through the software that […]

Description This project was about a personal challenge that my Dad asked me to do it. Everything started more than one year ago when I was trying to do it with Arduino but I lost a lot of time because I couldn’t make everything works as fast as Raspberry does. I decided to move on

The basic idea of this project is to convert a $3-4 solar light found at Lowes and Home Depot hardware store (here in the US) into a wireless remote sensor node. The node will utilize an MSP430G2553 MCU and a nRF24L01+(w/ spirilis library) wireless module to send light intensity (photoresitor that came with solar driveway

Main functions: Control the four rotators using the light buttons, rotary encoder and with a two-line display for each rotor. Same control remoted via web interface or telnet – only click to map and confirm rotating. Rotator module can directly control the motor of the rotator DC version of the phase-change AC version switching CW
BeaconAir is a Raspberry Pi based project that reads the advertising packets coming from iBeacons and roughly calculates the physical position of BeaconAir by Trilateration. This is an application that uses my new iBeacon Python library that READS iBeacons on your Raspberry Pi. It does not turn your Raspberry Pi into an iBeacon. Lots of other people

Although the Internet of Things is relatively new, controlling devices remotely is as old as sin; devices have been using IR remotes for ages. There is a lot of untapped potential from the infrared devices sitting in your home. Besides the raspberry pi, you can get all of the materials for this project at your

In this post I will cover how to create a web interface + API for LIRC, the Linux Infrared Remote Control project. I will be using NodeJS and a RaspberryPi in this post, but the ideas generalize to other languages and hardware. This post will serve as Part 3 of my open source universal remote

I’m loving using my Pi with Openelec for my media center, but the need to pull the cord to cut power was just keeping it below the WAF(Wife Acceptance Factor). So I sat down and came up with this. In the future, the arduino will be replaced with an ATTiny, but for now I already

Roberts 747, great radio from 1990. Fully working in very good condition. Found it on antique sale after a long hunt for something like this. I have a spare Raspberry Pi model B V1 home as a spare and it was just catching dust for some years as I couldn’t decide what to do with

Before I started working for Pelagicore I won two Raspberry Pi’s (short RP) which they sponsored. One because I was one of the first people on the foss-gbg mailinglist which they started. It is for people from Gothenburg and surroundings who would like to join others and talk about open source stuff in Gothenburg. And
