Reading Time: 2 minutesStrato Pi takes this stripped-down Raspberry Pi and uses the DDR2 SODIMM connector to hook it up to a custom board with 10/100 Ethernet, two USB Type-A ports (with individual power and fault detection), a real-time clock and CR1025 battery, and a hardware watchdog chip (used to switch between the two microSD cards and perform […]
Reading Time: 7 minutesIn this tutorial, we’ll show you how to attach a lens to the HQ Camera and adjust its focus and aperture settings. We’ll then use the supplied ribbon cable to connect it to Raspberry Pi, enable it in Raspbian, and enter some commands in a Terminal window to start capturing photos and video. See also: […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesJohn sadly passed away in April this year but his creation lives on, not only in memory but in different manifestations. One of the most intriguing – from our perspective at least – is a version run on a Raspberry Pi. It has been produced by software engineer Nick Kelly, and it uses the same […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMeasure voltage and current with the Tiny V/A Meter Arduino Team — June 3rd, 2020 Measuring voltage with a multimeter is easy enough, and current is a bit harder, but reading both values simultaneously can be a challenge.

Although it won’t pack the capabilities of an Oculus […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis Arduino-powered LED matrix mask responds to your voice Arduino Team — June 2nd, 2020 When wearing a face mask nowadays, you can’t show expressions in the same ways that we’re all accustomed to. As a possible solution to this problem, programmer Tyler Glaiel decided to create a custom covering, with an 8×8 LED matrix […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesThis article was written by César Garcia, researcher at La Hora Maker. This week, we will be exploring the Apollo Ventilator in detail! This project emerged at Makespace Madrid two months ago. It was a response to the first news about the expected lack of ventilators in Spain because of COVID-19. Several members of the space […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesMeet TELEBOT, the terrifying telepresence robot Arduino Team — June 1st, 2020 The Internet has been perhaps more important than ever to keep us connected these days. Available technology, however, apparently wasn’t good enough for brothers Hunter and Josh Irving, who built their own telepresence robot using parts on-hand during their own two-person hackathon. The robot […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesOne slight downside is that – unlike the full‑size Unicorn HAT HD – it doesn’t come supplied with a translucent diffuser layer to fill out the gaps in the display between the small pixels. However, you could always make your own, even out of paper. Push-button controls Four programmable push-buttons – two on either side of […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteLearn about exoplanet exploration with this Arduino-powered apparatus Arduino Team — May 29th, 2020 How do we know that planets exist outside of our solar system? While too far away to observe directly, with extremely sensitive equipment like the Kepler space telescope it’s possible to detect changes in light as these exoplanets pass in front […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkvsczf9h0Q?feature=oembed&w=500&h=281] The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we interact with people, things, and the world around us. We’re calling on the community to use an Arduino Nano or MKR board to build solutions that can help us practice better social distancing, improve queue management, or enable touch-free technologies. Stepping out from our homes, to […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesA Raspberry Pi 4 with double the RAM With twice the memory as any previous Raspberry Pi, and 40 times the power of the original board, the new 8GB model is a powerhouse!
