The maker Mika Yeap has created a new telescope project combining 3D printed parts, a telescope tube and the Raspberry Pi board. The PiKon is a ‘astro-cam’ telescope powered by a small Raspberry Pi mini PC capable of monitoring and capturing the night sky. The design replaces the conventional eye-piece of a Newtonian reflecting telescope…
If your next project involve to build an all-in-one computer system using your Raspberry Pi mini PC, for sure you may be interested in a new case published to the Thingiverse website this week. Designed to incorporate a 3.5″ tft touchscreen display available from online retailers such as and others from as little as £24….
A new Raspberry Pi case complete with 3.5 inch LCD touchscreen which is now available the purchase price of just $16. The display is nothing to write home about: it’s a 3.5 inch, 480 x 320 pixel TFT LCD resistive touchscreen that you can interact with using a stylus that ships with the case, or…
Desktop SLS 3D printing company Sinterit has introduced a new powdered material for desktop SLS 3D printers: PA11 Onyx. PA11 Onyx is a lightweight bioplastic made from plant-based resources. PA11 provides higher heat and chemical resistance than its relative of Nylon 12. Additionally, in Sinterit’s case, PA11 has the flexibility of 3D printing on the desktop. The…
Few days ago pcmag.com has published a complete guide to build yourself a (raspberry pi) retro video game console for less than $100. In this guide you can quickly see how to use an inexpensive Raspberry Pi board to play retro NES, SNES, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, Neo Geo, and even Atari Jaguar and…
FoxTail has recently released via Thingiverse website the 3D printing files of its Sega Dreamcast Pi Case, allowing anyone with access to a 3D printer to replicate the case to protect their own Raspberry Pi SBC. The iconic Sega Dreamcast case supports the Raspberry Pi B+ / 2 / 3 systems, and is also equipped…
Techbase announced several enhancements to its Linux-driven ModBerry family of automation controllers, which are based on a variety of open source boards. First, the company is introducing a new version of its ModBerry 500 to add an Espressif ESP32 module as a backup system for its Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 (CM3) computer-on-module. The Gdansk,…
FriendlyElec’s new $8 NanoPi Neo Core and $25 NanoPi Neo Core2 boards are low-profile variants of the company’s earlier 40 x 40mm NanoPi Neo and NanoPi Neo 2 SBCs, but with their large, topside USB and Ethernet connectors replaced by a third dual-row pin header. The new boards are more like computer-on-modules (COMs) than single-board…
The Pi Desktop Kit is not only a nice case, it also includes an add-on board which contains a power on/off button, a Real Time Clock with battery backup, and an mSATA socket so that you can add an SSD (Solid State Disk) if you want. There is also a software download available from the element 14 Pi Desktop page which…
The maker community keeps pumping out unique enclosures for the Raspberry Pi, and this steampunk version where the prerequisite gears move may be one of the best. The goal of this project was to have the microSD card on the pi stay accessable, so that the image could be easily updated or swapped out. In…
Making a 3D printed Raspberry Pi enclosure stand out is a challenge, given the thousands of options that exist online, but this Pac-Man is something special. The case can be opened thanks to a hinge on the back and it’s designed to fit a Raspberry Pi 3 in the lower section. There is space for…
If you need to trigger a flash but you don’t find the satisfying app for your scope, you could do what Josh Beckwith did, making it from yourself. It’s a simple project, but it could be helpful for everyone with less experience with Arduino. You’ll need: Hardware – Strobe – Arduino Nano – NPN Transistor…
