OBD2 for Raspberry Pi with Pi-OBD add-on board or DXM OBD2 module and OBD2 software taken from my other labs project Firmware Update for OBD2-Analyser NG.This project turns the Raspberry Pi into an OBD2 on-board diagnostic tester. So, the Pi can read OBD2 vehicle data and it can read and clear emissions-related diagnostic trouble codes …
Bluetooth Low Energy (aka BLE/Bluetooth 4.0/Bluetooth Smart) is the most recent incarnation of Bluetooth technology developed by the Bluetooth SIG (the organization that maintains the specification). This communication protocol is designed for applications where data needs to be transferred in small amounts at relatively low speed while consuming low amounts of power (e.g., heart rate …

HI there, In this instructable I’ll show you how to make the cheapest glove for controlling your robots or any other Arduino or raspberry pi based projects and for demonstration example I’ll also include how a little tutorial how I made car controlled by this glove. This whole glove is pure improvisation with main goal …

The PiTank is a web controller tank built for a competition at my school’s robotics club. The project took about two weeks to complete with all 5 team members participating in various aspects. Its main projectile are ping pong balls (up to 3).The firing mechanism is based on a spud gun. The PiTank is controlled …

TL;DR: It should be fairly straight forward to add a Raspberry Pi controlled heating and hot water system to a standard UK domestic set up and, more importantly, remove it again without messing with the existing set up. As a minimum you’ll need a Raspberry Pi and 4 relays. A few other bits and bobs …

The purpose of this device is to allow someone who makes Homebrew Beer using the “All Grain” method, to control the temperature and timings of various parts of the beer making process when used in conjunction with a home made boiler. However, the physical device, could easily be used with different code to perform any …

Part 1: The Hardware & Driver Some time back, I joked that the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO port really stood for Game Port IO… So to make that joke come true, I present a way of interfacing the NES Joysticks to the Raspberry Pi. First you need the joystick/controller unit, and a quick trip to the …
Overview An AVR, typically an ATMega168P, is controlled from the Pi via the 3.3V UART, and provides the PWM signals to the Motor Driver. Features Controlled via the UART on the Pi GPIO Header. Up to 2A bi-directional current per channel at up to 46V. (Limited by L298N) Only the Motor Supply Voltage is required …
