These instructions try to assume very little. Hopefully, if you can boot a Raspberry Pi and have an internet connection you should be able to complete this great little project. Basically, this is a project which will result in some specific areas which can be used in other projects. The main outcomes will be: Using […]

Introduction This short tutorial extends on Adafruit’s excellent tutorial on using Serial Cable(also known as Serial Console) to remote control the Raspberry Pi (RPi). Adafruit’s tutorial demonstrates how to connect the correct USB-Serial cable to the correct GPIO pins. However, the tutorial ended with no examples of what useful tasks you can do after login

A few months ago, we made a Book reader powered by the BrickPi which had the ability to read pages from your Kindle. There was a huge response to the project. But what everyone really wanted was a bookreader that could read a real paper book. Here we present to you the BrickPi Bookreader 2

The Raspberry Pi board is widely used to build home-servers by the Do It Yourself (DIY) community, so it seemed a good choice to be the base for my home Network Attached Server (NAS). This NAS should have two main types of storage: Solid State Disk (SSDs) for my network folders. External USB Drives for

I know what you’re thinking: “How cool would it be if I had my own Google Drive/SkyDrive/Dropbox that I can use whenever I like?” Or maybe you are just getting into the Maker movement and you think it’s the greatest thing since canned bread. You’ve probably seen quite a few Raspberry Pi projects already, or maybe

Do you have a Gameboy case? Do you have RaspberryPi? Now let’s build a RaspiBoy. It’s a RaspberryPi inside Gameboy running multiple emulators. It makes you feel back the old days and one of the best gadgets for Retrogaming. My RaspiBoy features: 3.5″ TFT display 32GB solid state drive RasperryPi inside three more buttons WiFi

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

In this simple project, we’ll use a motion sensor to detect if an object is passing in front of our Raspberry Pi. Then we’ll count how many times that happens, and send this value to Ubidots. People counters are typically expensive devices used in the retail industry to understand how shoppers behave. Thanks to Raspberry
