PiDP-8, a PDP-8/I Replica

“Of all the PDP-8s, the 8/I is my favourite. Alas, getting a real one is impractical: they are pretty much impossible to obtain, and just as hard to maintain once you’ve found one. But asI learned from …

Cloud Cam: Internet-Connected Security Camera

“The cloud cam is a project to build an internet-connected security camera using a Raspberry Pi and Pi camera. The camera can detect motion and upload images to Dropbox’s cloud storage service, or the beta of Adafruit IO, Adafruit …

PiAware - Aircraft Overhead Indicator LED

“I’ve been using the PiAware software to track aircraft flying near me and I liked the idea of turning an LED on when a plane was overhead (or at least near by!). The first step was creating a way …

Using an RPi to Control an RGB LED

“As rahulkar mentioned in his tutorial, LED control seems to be the “Hello World” of electronics. It’s easy to set up, you learn a lot about how electronics work, and in the end, you’ve got a nifty little …

RPiScope: a raspberry pi microscope, build from laser cut acrylic parts

“Based on the RPI camera and LEGO brick-based microscope I had presented earlier ( A-Raspberry-Pi-camera-based-microscope-built-from- LEGO ), I have constructed a similar microscope build from Plexiglas parts. So now you may build your microscope even w/o having a large LEGO collection …

MyPIAmp project - RPI player and amplifier

“Sad because my 7.1 receiver broke down and get a repair offer pricier than a new High end receiver … my first decision was to scrap and recycle it. But looking at that that case full of electronic garbage, looking …

RGB Internet Pumpkin

“Just in time for Halloween, I modified my previous Raspberry Pi Internet LED Control project to control an RGB LED, and stuck it inside a fake pumpkin. Now I have an internet controlled RGB pumpkin! The code is basically the …

Shutdown button for Raspberry PI

Today we will build a small circuit that lets you execute commands in Raspberry Pi to do whatever we want when a button is pressed (in our case to start the shutdown process). This circuit is quite simple and requires …

ADC for Raspberry PI

Using an MCP3008 IC we will add the ability to read analog values on a Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi unlike the Arduinos natively has no way of reading analog data. By adding an integrated as the MCP3008 we can …

PiTank - A web controlled tank with cannon and live video stream

“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 …
