I created a Toy which Talks somebody’s tweets using Raspberry Pi. This Toy catches object by distance sensor and then make sound (Tweet). The architecture is very simple. For getting Tweets, just using twitter api for python. And playing sound with “AquesTalk Pi” (free) which is created by Japanese software company. Unfortunately AquesTalk Pi only […]

It’s been quite a long time, when I’d first posted this RPi sample. Time passed, I’d gathered some feedback form the community, took into account the comments, and this sample is ready to be published at Instructables for the public interested in microcontrollers and the Internet of Things. What does this example show? How easy,

Raspberry Pi Along came the Raspberry Pi and I noticed that it had a GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) interface. Ok I have to admit – I didn’t really know what that was until I read up on the Raspberry Pi and reports were saying it was designed for the novice to connect to and

The latest big news in the world of Raspberry Pi Python GPIO programming is that Ben Croston has released an update for RPi.GPIO. Why is that a big deal? Because this version has interrupts. “What’s an interrupt?” I hear you say. It’s a way of waiting for something to happen without checking constantly whether or

I normally use my Raspberry-Pi on a windows shared desktop. I also share a network drive with the Pi. This is great, but I still have the annoyance of the clipboard on the PC not being reflected on the Pi. There may be cross platform apps out there for this problem, but I though it

NSC-01 For Team Near Space Circus‘ participation in the Global Space Balloon Challenge with NSC-01, we wanted to make sure that once powered up, and enclosed, we would still have control of the computer cluster and the timeline of events, as to what would happen when. As we devised a network with 7 nodes (see

I’ve had a Raspberry Pi since Christmas, but haven’t done much with it up till now. That’s all changed since I moved house. Getting to grips with a new central heating system, I find that (for reasons too dull to list here) I need to monitor and control it rather more flexibly than I can

Aim of the project: In this project we have developed a platform to remotely control surveillance robot controlled over Ethernet. It will enable us to monitor the activities in the remote and sensitive areas such as naxalite areas and etc. In traditional security systems, monitoring devices are usually mounted on fixed locations. In such cases,

LEDs, buzzers and switches are the most common items people attempt to interface to their Raspberry Pi’s. Something I found in eBay that is a little bit different is an ultrasonic measurement module. This allows you to measure the distance to the nearest wall or solid object. The modules are easy to buy, cheap and
