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.

Sharing Senses with onemile
How cool would it be to see through someone else’s eyes, or to sense how fast they’re breathing or how loud their location might be? We can’t really do that yet, but that doesn’t stop people from experimenting with technology to at least get a taste of that goal. onemile is a Master’s project by […]
Results from Arduino Hackathon at AT&T’s 2013 Developer Summit
Sara Streeter wrote in to let us know about the hackathon that Axeda put on for AT&Tโs 2013 Developer summit. The projects were Arduino-based and sensor-enabled, and featured NFC, geotracking, emergency response, and all kinds of monitoring.
Mini Maker Faire and Data Sensing Lab at Strata NY
O’Reilly’s Strata + Hadoop World New York kicks off Monday, and while the conference is sold out, there are several events that are part of New York City Data Week that are open to the public, including a data-focused Mini Maker Faire and an experiment with Arduinos, sensors, and XBees (courtesy of Digi) and cloud storage (courtesy of Amazon Web Services). Come and check out cool projects, or join the fun and play with data and sensors.
The Create USB Interface and GROVE Sensor Platform
Here’s another interesting physical computing platform; the PIC-based Create USB Interface. The original design was made by Dan Overholt as a bridge between computer and world for musical and artistic applications. Seeed Studio has an updated design called the CUI32Stem, which has been tweaked to work well with the thirty-something sensors and actuators in their […]
Environmental Sensing with the JeeLabs Platform
JeeLab’s Jean-Claude Wippler has been “rethinking the Arduino interface” since 2008, when he first attached an ISM band radio to a Modern Device Real Bare Bones Board. Three and a half years later he has built quite a library of sensors and breakout “plugs” for the JeeLabs Platform. The heart of the platform is the […]
Boxie the Robot Explores its Surroundings
Boxie is a semi-autonomous robot that roams through its surroundings until it finds a willing human participant to answer its questions and star in a movie it films. It was designed and built by Alexander Reben at MIT’s Media Lab.
