Raspberry Pi is an incredibly versatile microcomputer that is perfect for any kind of DIY projects. From programming robots to building home automation systems, there are so many possibilities when it comes to designing creative and innovative raspberry pi projects. With its powerful yet low-cost hardware, plus plenty of open source software available, raspberry pi has become one of the most popular tinkering tools out there. But what kinds of projects can you make with this small but mighty computer? Read on for ideas and tutorials that will shake up your next project idea or two!
What you’re looking at here is a close up of the brand new camera module for the Raspberry Pi, which is in the finishing stages of development. The camera connects to the Raspberry Pi via the onboard CSI (camera serial interface) port. There’s still some work to be done with the drivers and there’s still […]
Right now there are two new micro-controller boards seeking funding—one on Kickstarter, and the other on Dragon Innovation’s new crowdfunding platform—that are slightly different. These boards aren’t just yet another Arduino clone, or yet another possible “Raspberry Pi killer.” These two boards, the Tessel from technical.io and the Espruino from Pur3, intend to take the path least travelled and co-op an existing community not traditionally associated with the maker community.
This news comes to us from the official Raspberry Pi Foundation blog: Raspberry Pi Model A is now available for purchase from their official distributors in Europe. The less expensive board comes in at $25 and lacks ethernet, has only one USB port, and 256 megabytes of RAM as opposed to Model B’s 512. Besides […]
Dexter Industries has been playing around with the RPi lately, and hooked up a Mindstorms-compatible accelerometer/gyroscope to a RPi running Raspbian. They have a full tutorial showing how they did it.
With all the microcontrollers and single board computers on the market, sometimes it’s hard to see all your options. That’s why we made up this quick reference sheet for the 8 most popular boards we sell in the Maker Shed.
