Hey everyone, time for another update! A couple of weeks ago the whole Resin.io team got together to catch up, have some beers, eat some great food, and build a Beast!If you've ever wondered what 40 people building a cluster of 360 Raspberry Pis looks...
2020-12-12 Bought this from the Pi Shop in town, for £25. This might be useful for remotely monitoring events, either in real time.It is rated 1080 lines at 30 fps, and 720 at 60 fps, which should be plenty. The PiCamera box has a link to https://www.okdo.com/gettingstarted/,...
After a delay I received the kit on Wednesday. The kit exceeded my expectations and I was able to put the camera together and install the software in one night. Below is a picture of the box. It also came with a case , face plate and power supply. I...
I decided it was time to finally start cleaning up my code this morning, and it's going surprisingly well. I created some basic functions, and basically started over. I finally got a function working that lets me start and stop recording by pressing...
I was not sure I could make it work before the next vote, but finally it is there and I could show it.This prototype shares the first prototype's display and enclosure, it is so nice to make experiments without breaking anything... Software is cross...
TI (Texas Instruments) SensorTag (http://www.ti.com/tool/cc2541dk-sensor) is a nice dev board that suits well to prototype this project.SensorTag is packed with a lot of MEMS sensors, including a Kionix KXTJ9 Tri-Axis, User Selectable ± 2g, 4g,...
So, as we said, the first goal was modularity. To that end, The Beast comprises of a number of interlocking modules, called Tiles. A Tile is basically 12 Raspberry Pis, as well as the supporting Networking and Power Supply infrastructure. The Tiles can...
TKIRV - now controllable over the internet! Because hell yes. Check out the orange wheeled monster in action...From the beginning, the goal of this project has been to build an R/C car that can travel far and wide. This necessitated a way of controlling...
In principle, the Raspberry Pi compute module is the thing you're supposed to use to embed into projects like the clock. I've done a little bit of looking at it, and in theory it is possible to design a board that would accept a compute module instead...
Get an SDRA good example for a cheap SDR receiver is an RTL-SDR TV USB dongle. RTL-SDR was designed as a TV tuner for PCs. It can be plugged into a USB port, and with it's software installed it can receive FM radio stations or TV programs.But with a...
I'm in a ranty mood today, so I will write a little bit about why I decided to make this and how I hope it will work.You have probably heard about the Raspberry Pi and the Micro:bit. Those projects are both parts of a larger effort to liberate people...
Time to post an update...So far I've done some additional testing with a different camera, playing around with a few different options for "fswebcam" and looked into the options for GPIO programming on the Pi, as well as getting my feet wet in the "Fritzing"...
Making a minimal confuser actually do minimal confusing is a lot harder than it used to be. For decades, the raspberry pi foundation has labored to run as much as possible as slowly as possible. With much coercing, it can be made to just...
UPDATE2: Wow! 27 hours! I mean, yahknow, it'd be *easy* to bump a wire on this thing sitting right above my keyboard... but still running at 50MHz. Cool.UPDATE: Been "Free-Running" continuously for over 5 hours straight at 50MS/s... I might go so far...
The leading contender for replacing IR pivoted to a central bridge that received 433Mhz FM from the CC1101 & transmitted on Wifi to all the desks. The CC1101 definitely starts up fast enough. There are 4 ESP8266's which never found any use...
