10 Things to Connect to Your Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi makes a great home server. But is also makes a solid hardware development platform if your needs go a bit beyond the capabilities of the Arduino.

Sketchfab, a website for uploading and sharing 3D models for free, is a great way to easily add an interactive element to your web content. Their model viewer can be embedded in almost any webpage, and they’re adding new features on a fairly regular basis. I caught up with co-founder Alban Denoyel to check in on their progress.
The infamous Becky Stern has made another great tutorial video. This time she demonstrates how to make a totally functional plush game controller with Flora and conductive fabric!
We’re starting to hear a lot about the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet these days. But what a lot of people aren’t aware of is that SCADA systems have been around for a long time, and more and more of these are being connected directly to the Internet. If you didn’t already know, […]
MAKE alumnus and supernerd Collin Cunningham rhapsodizes about everyone’s favorite current-fighting backbone of circuitry–the resistor–in this classic MAKE video. Collin talks about Ohm’s Law, resistor color codes, and using pencil graphite to make paper resistors.
The Cicada Tracker project is crowdsourcing soil temperatures to track the emergence of Brood II cicadas, that have been living underground for the past 17 years. Billions and billions of cicadas are expected to emerge over the next few weeks throughout the northeast United States.
Fran Blanche’s CuteUino Arduino spinoff is just 20mm (0.78″) square, and can have other modules stacked on top like a USB interface board. Also check out her Fretboard Shredcam project. [via Embedded Projects]
