Today we present a Bridge between Raspberry Pi and Arduino that leverages the hardware equipment and the computing power of the first with the shields and the applications of the second. The worlds of Raspberry and Arduino increasingly tend to converge to give users a bridge between the enormous potential of the embedded Linux platform…
Pretty big news at Raspberry Pi Foundation as the guys just put out the new Raspberry Pi 2, featuring (for the same price): A 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU (~6x performance) 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM (2x memory) Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1 Because it has an ARMv7 processor, it can run the full range of ARM GNU/Linux…
This project is based on A Raspberry Pi based (www.PiTouch.co) tablet plus a customizable, Open-source design for your needs and projects. It’s also a lot interesting for wannabe creators on kickstarter: very cool to see the original developers of the PiTouch creating new ideas to make use of their original product, and kickstarting super niche (60…
After having produced and sold more than 3 million pieces, the Foundation just lately renewed the offer with a new Raspberry Pi B+: it materializes experiences, advices and requests coming from the users in these years. Let’s finally take some time to see what changed, for the better or for the worse. The “new”…
Let’s turn Raspberry Pi into an analogic/digital measurment tool with BitScope Micro, the most recent product of the BitScope tools generation. As hinted by the name, its calling is the measurement of digital signals. The software is available for the GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac/OS X platforms. BitScope Micro is a further confirmation of the ongoing…
This wonderful project explores the borders between hacking, learning computers, hacking and electronics: it’s a kit you can hack and a learning course you can use to teach people how to create real hardware: Pi-Top provides a platform to expand your knowledge in hardware creation. The kit takes you through each of its components and…
An area of application of Computer Vision, one that has always fascinated people, concerns the capability of robots and computers in general to determine, recognize and interact with human counterparts. In this article we will take advantage of the availability of cheap tools for computing and image acquisition, like Raspberry Pi and his dedicated video…
Let’s see how to use the Camera Pi module, a quality photo video camera, purposely designed for Raspberry PI, to acquire the first knowledge concerning Computer Vision, to recognize colors and shapes. Camera Pi is an excellent add-on for Raspberry Pi, to take pictures and record quality videos, with the possibility to apply a considerable…
The 3-4-5 October 2014, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, will host the second annual Maker Faire Rome, the largest European exhibition of Innovation, where thousands of visitors and makers are expected from all over Europe. On this occasion Open-Electronics and Futura Group will present RandA! What is RandA? RaspberryPi and Arduino are…
Robots provided with autonomous operation capabilities and, particularly, those sporting sense organs similar to the human ones, have always tickled the fancy of science fiction writers and screenwriters. As always happens, from a certain point in history, even official science has started to deal with the subject, at first with the so-called “strong theses”, whose…
Pete Lomas is a co-founder and trustee of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK registered charity which exists to promote the study of computer science and electronics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing. Pete has a particular interest in embedded systems and using Raspberry Pi to interface and…
RS Components just announced the availability of Raspberry Pi Model B +. After the success with Model B, three million items sold, Raspberry Pi has been enhanced with several new features and functions included in the Model B + version. Apparently: the energy consumption of the Pi Model B+ are significantly lower (between 20% and 30% less…
