The Raspberry Pi is a great little machine—it's very affordable, highly portable, and user-friendly. But when you first get one, it can be a challenge to figure out which projects you should take on first. These 10 Raspberry Pi projects for beginners are great for getting an introduction to the hardware and software capabilities of…
I travel a lot and I like to take my media with me. However, I'm rarely end up at places with a strong internet connection and I don't like having to hook up my laptop to the TV. So a couple months ago I decided to build a portable media computer, and as a result, Mjölnir was born.
Ce qu'il y a de génial avec les cartes de prototypage du type Raspberry Pi, ce n'est pas particulièrement le look que cela donne à ceux qui les programment.
We have a fast and easy way to change the boot config options for your Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi's config.txt file has tons of options to choose from...but who has time to look up every single one? Enter PiCon--a cheap and easy configuration tool that makes configuring your Pi a breeze!
Last week Raspberry Pi launched a fantastic new website that really helps showcase their innovative and thought provoking product called the Raspberry Pi. This article introduces the new website, the Raspberry Pi and provides links to help you get into web development using your Pi.
Don’t expect a dry-as-dust description of how to plug things in or where to find your serial number. And you certainly won’t learn how to create a spreadsheet or a presentation. That’s really not computer science, it’s something else entirely. [...] We’re not going to make odd-coloured goop, but we will use experiments to discover how to program a computer to create your own games and animations, how to make graphics appear on screen just by typing in the right code (just like the developers of your favourite games do), how to get a cat to do your maths homework for you, and much more. [...] And that’s your first step on the journey to becoming a real computer programmer, a games developer, an über-hacker just like in the movies (only cooler and staying strictly within the law) and many other things besides.
It has been quite some time since my last post about Firefox OS running on a Raspberry Pi, but the questions didn’t stop to come in “when will it be released”? Well, I’m sorry that it took so long (sometimes finding time is not that easy), but finally, here we are: the sources and build instructions are available!
With Google Reader shutting down this July, you might be looking for another way to stay on top of your feed subscriptions. Why not set up a Raspberry Pi to...
There has been a huge shift in embedded computing that has been slowly happening for years, but became a sensation overnight. Suddenly embedded systems have become powerful enough to run full OS/platforms and are cheap enough to be accessible to the average developer. The birth of the Raspberry Pi epitomizes this shift. It is an inexpensive computing platform ($25-$35) that fits in your palm, yet has equivalent graphical power of an XBox.
If you have a Raspberry Pi and big plans for it, one of the first things you'll need is a case for it. There are tons to choose from, but some offer durability, port access, easy-access to the board, and style. This week we're looking at five of the best, based on your nominations.
Maybe you’re not a fan of parting with $1,500 for an unproven piece of wearable tech, or you’d rather just build something yourself and play with it until the device suits your needs.
Here’s my latest DIY project, a smartphone based on a Raspberry Pi. It’s called – wait for it – the PiPhone. It makes use an Adafruit touchscreen interface and a Sim900 GSM/GPRS module to make phone calls.
[Michael Castor] wanted a tablet, but not just any tablet. He wanted an all-in-one system running Linux, and he wanted it to look good. So he made himself a wooden PiPad. He started the project at ...
The Raspberry Pi, an inexpensive and tiny Linux machine, has garnered much popularity. At $35, it's one the cheapest full-blown computers that you can buy and easily use out of the box. There a million uses for a Raspberry Pi, but I often see people buy one on impulse and then find themselves at a loss for what they should do with it. Here I will keep track of what I use my Raspberry Pi for and what I have used it for in the past.
Feynlabs is developing a set of unique techniques to accelerate the learning of programming, computer science and computational thinking among young people.
We focus on Physical computing which involves building interactive physical systems which can sense and respond to the Analog world – especially applications that can be created by the Raspberry Pi and ArduinoFeynlabs is the first initiative to teach the concepts of programming languages to kids (as opposed to a specific programming language). By abstracting the common elements of programming languages, our aim is to enable learners to rapidly learn any programming language. Our three stage methodology is designed to inculcate an interest in computer science among the learners.
One day it’s a server, the next day it’s a core component in a budget space program. Tomorrow – who knows what? The Raspberry Pi has become something of a phenomenon, enabling low cost media centres, portable web servers and much more.
So you have a Raspberry Pi and you would like to maximize its tiny footprint by turning into a totally stand alone box—no monitor, keyboard, or other input peripherals.
An updated, wireless version of the kindleberry using the kindle paperwhite.
It got me wondering if there existed a laptop that was designed for hacking in direct sunlight... something that had a ridiculously long battery life and was still readable in high brightness situations. Instead I stumbled upon a more awesome solution: the kindleberry, a combination of the Raspberry Pi and the Amazon Kindle.
We're celebrating the first anniversary of the Pi with the first ever Raspberry Pi Design Contest. Win a Printrbot Jr. 3D printer, and a prize package valued at over $600 for your Raspberry Pi proj...
[Brian] has brought together a powerful collection of hardware to build a robot. The end goal is to have a robot that's controlled by a Wiimote. The Wiimote communicates over Bluetooth with a Raspberry Pi, which is running a Python script.
