TheĀ Hoboken hackerspace, MakerBar, recently hosted a very special guest – [Rob Bishop] from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Wanting to impress [Rob], [Zach] and a few others from MakerBar put together a wearable computer based on the Raspberry PiĀ in just a few hours. Putting a Raspi, small Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo, and a USB charger [...]
[Nick Johnson] recently wrote in, sharing a neat project he put together in his spare time. Our readers are most likely familiar with the ubiquitous “fortune” program that ships with many *nix distros, offering cheeky comments and quotes with the press of a button. [Nick] thought it would be cool to build a fortune telling [...]
And then Obi-wan said, “you were supposed to be the chosen one!” Yesterday, a little bird told us Makerbot will be moving to a closed source modelĀ for their newest printer. This was confirmed, and now [Zach Smith] a.k.a. [Hoeken] – creator of the RepRap Research Foundation and co-founder of Makerboth Industries is weighing in with [...]
For $35, you can't expect too much out of the tiny, 700MHz computer Raspberry Pi. However, according to the official site, you can now overclock the little processer up to 1GHz without voiding your warr...
Much to the chagrin of hardware tinkerers, the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have analog inputs on its GPIO pins. Sure, you can blink a LED with just a few console commands, but reading sensors with a bone-stock Raspi requires a little additional hardware. [Brian Dorey] just released a board that allows for 8 analog inputs on [...]
Instead of dedicating his laptop to control his RepRap all night, [Walter] is using a Raspberry Pi as an Internet-enabled front end for his 3D printer. Before [Walter] got his hands on a Raspberry Pi, he set up his laptop next to his RepRap and let the machine do its work for hours on end. [...]
Up next on the continual march of expansion boards for the Raspberry Pi is the Raspy Juice, a board designed to break out the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi into servo, serial, and otherĀ miscellaneousĀ connections. The Raspy Juice features an ATMega168A microcontroller connected to the Raspberry Pi as an I2C slave device. Not only does [...]
In retrospect, it was only a matter of time before someone turned a bunch of Raspberry Pis into a supercomputer. The Raspi supercomputer is the result of a project headed up by University of Southampton professor [Simon Cox]. Included in the team are a gaggle of grad students and [Simon]‘s 6-year-old son who graciously provided [...]
Do you think you could travel for the entire summer and leave your laptop at home? [Gef] did just that. With the help of his Kindle he used a Raspberry Pi as his travel computer. This was an easy association to think up, since he planned to bring the Kindle along as his reading material [...]
A Kindle isn't exactly the most exciting device you could use as a monitor, but over the blog Ponnuki, writer Damaru shows how to turn a Kindle into a monitor using a Raspberry Pi. More »...
