Tomshardware.com recently posted an interesting Raspberry Pi GPIO Pinout guide for everyone that is not so familiar with raspberry pi or electronics. Every Pi model since the Raspberry Pi B+ has had 40 GPIO pins and they clearly explain what each kind of pin can do, by grouping them into different categories. Let’s see together…
There are an increasing number of software solutions available for adding voice agent technology to the Raspberry Pi, including Alexa agent (Amazon Echo) or the Google Assist technology. Yet, typical microphone add-on boards are often not up to the task of accurate voice detection especially in multi-speaker environments. Seeed Studios has a solution in the form…
Adafruit’s Onion Pi is a Tor proxy that makes your web traffic anonymous, allowing you to use the internet free of snoopers and any kind of surveillance. Follow Adafruit’s tutorial on setting up Onion Pi and you’re on your way to a peaceful anonymous browsing experience. Tor is an onion routing service – every internet…
With over 12.5 million boards sold in five years, Raspberry Pi is the third best-selling general purpose computer ever, behind Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows PCs, whose sales figures might be quite difficult for these tiny boards to surpass. This successful outcome puts them ahead of the widely popular Commodore 64! The following pie chart shows…
Raspberry Pi Multifunction Hat Board IRP-102 Offers RTC, ADC, LCD, RS232/485 And More The IRP-102 is an expansion board that brings you an easier way to add multiple function to your Raspberry Pi, making really easy to create a variety of different projects without the use of a protoboard, and is compatible with Raspberry PI…
Remaking the PDP-8/I using the Pi, simh & a replica front panel: a true catching project! Goal: a (very) low cost full replica of the PDP-8/I. Design: use the $20 Raspberry PI Model A+, a custom front panel PCB to mount it behind, and 26 nice-to-use toggle switches. Extend the simh emulator to drive 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…
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…
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…
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”…
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…
