openFrameworks is an open source C++ toolkit that assists the creative process by bringing together: If our friend Hasan Ijaz will be funded, he will complete the design and programming of openFrameworks and will set up a training course to teach: Showing also 4 real projects as examples, you’ll find further details on his…
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…
It is an interesting question, isn’t it? People not “inside” the maker world or not expert in programming think that Arduino and RaspberryPi are two flavours of the same object. Like if you ask “Mac or PC” rather than “Ubuntu or Debian” if you’re nerdish. Indeed, Arduino is a microcontroller, while RaspberryPi is a microcomputer…
As promised on our previous post about the SciFi your Pi competition, here is one of the project selected for the challenge. It is directly taken from Star Trek, do you remember the Tricorder, the all-in-one sensor used to analyze a new environment and people health status? Here it is, fully open source! The latest…
Guys at Pi Supply released a very useful raspberry shield, to allow the POE supply to the beloved mini-pc. The backing campaign already gathered 2x the request, and 19 days are still running before it’s over, so hurry up if you are interested! The details: You can now power your Raspberry Pi and provide…
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…
An interesting experiment from Fabio Nelli, dedicated to all the software engineers who need to build or study a parallel computing system. The traditional ones are really expensive but, as you can read below, by using MPI library for python and at least a couple of Raspberry pies, you have a full performing system, almost…
As promised on our previous post about the SciFi your Pi competition, here is one of the project selected for the challenge. It is an innovative computer interface, similar to that seen in Tron, according to the project owner: When thinking about science-fiction, things that come to mind are touch/motion controls, things that slide in…
With the motto “Making Science out of Science Fiction”, Element14 community launched last month a competition among makers devoted to low cost computing and open source hardware to present their projects, following the rule: The element14 members are being challenged to create applications that inspired them from science fiction: the inspiration could arise from a…
We are exploiting any possible application for our microcontrollers and microcomputers, like Arduino, BeagleBone, BananaPi, RaspberryPi, but this one is quite new. It seems confirmed that some Russian and Brazilian game stores are selling illegally modified Sony PS4 to override the game’s copy protection. The interesting fact, for us, is that the core of the…
PaPiRus is a versatile ePaper display HAT for the Raspberry Pi with screens ranging from 1.44″ to 2.7″ in size. ePaper is a display technology that mimics the appearance of ink on paper. Unlike conventional displays, ePaper reflects light – just like ordinary paper – and is capable of holding text and images indefinitely, even…
