This is an idea about ESP32 and TFT screen, we can combine them to realize the function of a drawing board let us draw, and plug in the SD card to realize the function of digital photo frame to display beautiful photos. Now, we add a camera on this basis, and realize a simple…
Over the last few months we’ve all been forced to communicate online rather than in person. As a student, most of my lectures turned into Zoom meetings, and the same happened to my tutoring hours. In the next few weeks, many students of all ages will go back to their schools or universities but many…
The recognition of vehicle number plates is a process as complex as it is necessary, used for example at motorway toll booths or to identify who violate traffic rules. Here we propose a Raspberry Pi-based system that automatically recognizes vehicle license plates using image processing. The system features an HD camera with infrared sensor and…
This is an OPEN SOURCE/3D printed Torch/Camera/Laser pointer Kit. Arduino M0 based and created using common elements from the Makers/ 3D printers World. Programmed in Python. A very accurate and fast torch pointer. Can be controlled using an Xbox and/or PlayStation controller. Alternatively, you can adapt its Python written control code to follow any pre-planned…
I wanted to do timelapse video of some plants growing in a pot on my window sill so I wrote Windows 10 IoT Core Universal Windows Platform (UWP) background task to capture images and store them to the local file system of a Raspberry Pi or DragonBoard 410C devices. The first version was pretty rough so for the next one I moved all the…
Command centers need to know where their people are and where danger exists and may be approaching them. This system tracks fire boundaries & fire hotspots and firefighters or other persons on-the-ground and relays this data back to command centers where it is mapped in real time. The drone roams via a planned route…
Building our centralized web-controlled home video surveillance system. Last episode In the previous posts, dedicated to the creation of a video surveillance system based on Raspberry Pi and the MotionEye application, we saw how to install the software necessary for our architecture and how to configure a first video camera connected via USB and…
Building our centralized web-controlled home video surveillance system. Second episode. In the first episode of this series, dedicated to the creation of a video surveillance system, based on Raspberry Pi and the MotionEye application, we saw how to install the software necessary for our architecture and how to configure a first video camera connected…
https://youtu.be/BccGnfM-dbk We continue with the Pi Zero dashcam project and in this post, we take care of file management while also adding some enhancements in the process. This project is almost complete and we will be carrying out road tests in next week’s post/video. More info
What to do with such a Lego collection? Digging through it to find Just the Right Piece can be frustrating, and bringing order to the chaos with manual sorting is just so impractical. How about putting some of those bricks to work with a machine-vision Lego sorter built from Lego? The main component of this…
This is how to build your own Automated Photo Booth for less than hiring one (if you can lay your hands on a DSLR). You can customise the housing to suit your event/wedding and as it’s controlled by an Arduino Nano you don’t need anyone to ‘man it’ throughout the night. The guests just…
Could hackers take over our cameras, the guardians of our precious moments, and infect them with ransomware? And the answer is: Yes. In our research we aim to advance beyond the point of accessing and using the protocol’s functionality. Simulating attackers, we want to find implementation vulnerabilities in the protocol, hoping to leverage them in order…
