PiMyLifeUp shares how to make your own Raspberry Pi security camera using motionEye software. In this project, I will set up a Raspberry Pi security camera network using the motionEye software. You can use the standard Pi camera, such as the one I used in the time-lapse tutorial. This project is a cost-effective way of
Reddit user jareza shares how they made a working payphone using a Pi Zero. I just wanted to show off my latest backyard addition to people who will really appreciate it: a fully functional payphone! I’ve wanted a payphone for ages, but the ones I found for sale were either too expensive (now I know […]
Raspberry Pi Official Magazine issue 170 is out, and the cover feature is digital displays. The magazine covers large and small screen builds and includes a tutorial for a flight tracker that pulls live data. Elsewhere in the issue, Italian engineer Andrea Favero’s ball-balancing robot uses a mirror to widen the field
In the future, every microcontroller will be able to run models with 1.5 million parameters. The Pico-Faces project is an image generation model that can run on a microcontroller. The model implements a latent flow diffusion transformer (DiT). Similar to techniques used by some larger GenAI image models, but with some
The animated eyeballs on the MONSTER M4SK and Hallowing boards are an Adafruit spooky season staple. But, new boards and displays have come into vogue and it was time to revisit this code base. The new version is called Adafruit Monster Eyes, and it lives in its own repository on GitHub. It has support for […]
The CircuitPython watchdog module implements a watchdog timer that can be used to detect and recover from locked or stalled processes running on the microcontroller. The core principal is: configure the watchdog for a specified timeout period and activate it, then the code must feed the dog at least once within every t
Brothers Jonathan and Michael Weerts transformed this old pay phone into a memorial for their brother, Nick. Loaded with hours of home recordings, the phone booth mostly serves as a place of remembrance for friends and family. The family hopes it will bring joy to the community and that, in time, others will contribute
Ayush Pande, writing at XDA Developers, snapped one of the MIPI latches on his Raspberry Pi 5 within a few months of buying the board. He ignored it until he wanted to run two cameras into a Frigate server on the same Pi. That meant both MIPI sockets had to work, so he needed a […]
Super cool recent build from Indian maker Arnov Sharma: The main reason for making this project was actually pretty simple. I was already using the Pi 500+ with my USB recording microphone for voice-over work, and I kept thinking it really needed its own screen. See more details here on Instructables and YouTube.
Camera with Digital Film, image from Strange Inventions Lab Strange Inventions created this…strange invention: a cartridge-based Raspberry Pi camera that ‘prints’ to e-paper. The 3D printed camera houses a Raspberry Pi 3 A+, camera module, battery, and microSD card. Each cartridge contains a 1.54″ 4 color module. Snap
Abhishek Prakash at It’s FOSS wrote up a way to fix a Raspberry Pi that can no longer reach your network: edit the WiFi settings straight from the microSD card. This is handy when the router changed, the SSID and password are new, and hooking the Pi up to a monitor and keyboard is more […]
Declan Chidlow documented the history of Minecraft: Pi Edition, the free Raspberry Pi port that Mojang announced in November 2012 and released on February 11th, 2013. Development was led by Aron Nieminen and Daniel Frisk. It was based on Pocket Edition v0.6.1 alpha, and v0.1.1 alpha was the only version ever released.
