More and more often we find the opportunity to create Internet-connected projects by ourselves, in that category known as the Internet of Things (IoT), within which you can find smart appliances, home automation systems, medical devices, security systems and many others: a complex world, sharing the ability of being connected to the Internet. The…
Tens of thousands of units sold in a few hours, a respectable performance, costs unchanged, here is where Raspberry Pi has decided to be in our future. Here it is. On the desk, switched on, working, calmly, and cold it is processing our applications written for the previous Raspberry Pi model… with eye-rolling…
We add to Raspberry Pi a TFT touch screen to display the system console, movies and favorite photos or control a relay board … at your fingertips, literally! To avoid using an HDMI monitor the cost well above that of Raspberry Pi, in previous articles we have always gone the way of connecting remotely to the…
In case you missed our previous articles, we summarize briefly what is RandA. RandA is a system that allows a physical and functional integration between Raspberry Pi and Arduino, allowing the use of Arduino shields with the Raspberry Pi computational power. It also includes an intelligent power management and a RT clock. In figure shows RandA…
As you may recall, we described BananaPi lately in this post, and today we give you a brief overview on the latest software updates released by the manufacturer of Banana Pi. New porting of operating systems, increased compatibility with Raspberry Pi and new hardware configurations make it a better and better solution for our projects….
In the previous posts we presented the project of an an embedded MP3, capable of playing and recording audio sequences by means of appropriate commands. The interaction modes, as well as the communication interfaces cover a wide range of possibilities, for example it is possible to easily use UART, USB, I²C or bit banging on…
The operation principle of this circuit is very simple and easy to describe. The basic idea consists in supplying a device that is capable of operating since it is first started: this is why we created a software, in order to automatically generate a preset configuration file, with default values, that can be modified at…
Happy Birthday Arduino! Today March 28th we are celebrating our beloved controller with a day full of initiatives dedicated to Arduino board and community. What is the Arduino Day? Directly from the event home page “Arduino Day is a worldwide celebration of Arduino’s birthday. It’s a 24 hours-long event –organized directly by the community,…
After releasing their first, and open source, stereolithographic 3D printer, the Ember, Autodesk announced the release of an open source resin for Ember printer and all the other compatible printers from makers all over the world. This is a clear and strong signal from Autodesk that is aiming first at trying to make 3D…
If you have “broken the ice” with GNU / Linux through Raspberry Pi already, here is a board that allows you to jump into the real professional world, with all the needed support and with totally “Open” instruments and, why not, in an enjoyable way. Arietta G25 is the “mascot” of a series of…
It is time to use the board that combines the capabilities of Raspberry Pi to Arduino ease of use. Raspberry Pi and Arduino worlds got close but they did not collide: indeed, they have resulted in a cooperation that has created a hybrid of enormous potential. We started talking about it in this post, where…
One of the strongest trend we have seen this year at CES2015 is, as you can imagine easily, the IoT (Internet of Things) development. Consequently, the most important component needed is the “connection and communication” module that enables the remote interaction between the device and “the community” via internet. Here we will sum up the…
