Due to the pandemic, many people have been forced to stay indoors much more often, which means missing out on the usual social events, including sports and tournaments. Even playing a simple game of chess hasn’t been feasible anymore, until now. Lewis of DIY Machines designed and built a smart chess board that allows you…
8 relays controlled by 8 opto-isolated digital lines or by Raspberry Pi. It’s not the first time that we propose a relay board, because in these pages you have found both generic control boards that can be driven with voltage levels and logic states, and specific boards for use with Arduino. Still, surely the project…
In this project we will see how to make a low cost smart mirror from readily available parts. It all relies on the use of a regular picture frame, and mirrored window film to turn the glass into a two way mirror. Then enclose a monitor in the frame and hide it behind the mirrored…
Home security systems are a growing field of projects. A self-built system is not only generally less expensive than a professional installation, it also allows total control and customization to suit your needs. With the introduction of Microsoft Project Oxford, facial recognition applications are now more accessible than ever to makers. This project uses a…
If you find an old broken Boombox at home, don’t throw it away! You can turn it into a modern one with Spotify and NFC cassettes. The cassettes will have an NFC tag inside them and each of them can be associated with a Playlist on Spotify. The old stereo was disassembled and deprived of…
Identify faces in a video or live shot and recognize if they are wearing a mask: easy with the “raspberry”. The spread of COVID-19 has created a global health crisis that has had a profound impact on humanity, the way we perceive our spaces and our daily lives. As of December 2019, we have witnessed…
For most of us, getting weather information is as trivial as unlocking a smartphone or turning on a computer. But, in all of this, it lacks a certain panache that old weather stations had with their analog dials and stained wood cases. If you are a lover of vintage, you can’t help but love this…
The home security camera does a good job, but it may not work in complete darkness. You also don’t want your gadget to trigger a false alarm if it detects, for example, a cat. In this project we will see how to build a small-scale system that just turns on an LED when it detects…
With this project we will transform an old phone into a smart doorbell with face recognition using Raspberry PI. More info
In this project, I build a device which can be used to detect face from thermal camera readings and can accurately measure person temperature by extrapolating the facial skin temperature. If high temperature is detected, the person can use their smartphone to scan QR code (displayed at the screen) for further information. Also, a local…
Hello, We’ve just launched an interactive LED cube for the Raspberry Pi on Kickstarter. Would you be interested in covering it? We were fully funded within 12 hours, and have just exceeded £9k of pledges! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1202256831/lumicube-an-led-cube-kit-for-the-raspberry-pi We think it’s pretty stylish and wouldn’t look out of place sitting in your living room, or on your…
This is a tutorial regarding the process of usage of the Raspberry Pi to control Servo motor with Servo Phyton and Library and some lines of code. More info
