The basic idea of my low-cost thermal imager started with my physics class in 2010. Our teacher bought a single-point infrared thermometer, also called a pyrometer, and asked if anyone wanted to use it for a science competition later that year. A friend and I came up with the idea of creating a thermal image

A small team of researchers from Michigan State University have created a low-cost open source fingerprint reader called the RaspiReader. The three students have used a Raspberry Pi 3 and two Raspberry Pi camera modules together with custom program software that can detect fake prints formed using glue, latex, gelatine and other materials commonly used to spoof

Sir Clive Sinclair’s nephew follows in his footsteps Spectrum inventor Sir Clive Sinclair’s nephew Grant is hoping to replicate that success with a build-your-own pocket gaming computer. POCO, or Pocket Raspberry Pi Gaming Kit, is little bigger than a smartphone. It comes unassembled but can be snap-fitted together in about 30 minutes. Grant Sinclair said
