Recently, Canonical has announced that it will provide official support for the Raspberry Pi 4. However, there was a kernel bug with the Raspberry Pi 4 where the Ubuntu 19.10 only offers official support for the Raspberry Pi 1GB and 2GB versions. With the new updated images of Ubuntu, Galem Kayo the product…
Set up Swim.ai to seamlessly stream sensor data to any device and create impressive visualizations using Swim’s easy-to-use open-source API! This guide will go over setting up a Swim.ai client and server to visualize data from a MATRIX Creator. The project demo is meant to serve as a boilerplate for users to build off of….
This project will show you how to create a fully automated ground station that will receive and decode NOAA weather satellite images and upload them to your own website served from an Amazon AWS S3 bucket. With this project you don’t need your own server or have to run your own website infrastructure. Here’s…
We make a NeoPixel light installations using Fishino and NodeMCU, controlled via Wi-Fi from PC or Raspberry Pi through a Python library. A few years ago, the American Adafruit Industries revolutionized the LED market by introducing its NeoPixels, whose main feature is to integrate, in a single package, an RGB LED and its controller….
Let’s build a system able to detect the movement of people and objects through a video camera and send alarm e-mails with Raspberry Pi 3 B +. The so-called Computer Vision or artificial vision is a research sector that deals with how computers can interpret visual reality exactly like a human being; it uses…
Let’s experiment with the OpenCV 4 library in real-time face recognition and smile detection project. In the article “Home automation with OpenCV 4” we have introduced the OpenCV 4 library for Raspberry Pi, which represents a powerful tool to realize applications in the field of image detection with a specific camera for Raspberry Pi….
We are going to take advantage of one of the most known real-life examples in order to introduce the concept of blockchain, its characteristics and its practical usefulness, also explaining how to mine Bitcoins using an essential hardware platform such as Raspberry Pi. In today’s society, everything evolves really fast: lifestyle, communication… Even…
In the previous episode, we have described the library and the functions made available by it. Now we will introduce a series of sketches through which you will see in practice how the library works and it’s potential. The sketches will implement functions such as receiving or sending SMS, voice calls, managing certain generic…
Let’s discover a useful library to manage various low-cost GSM/GPRS modules, in order to provide cellular connectivity to our Arduino projects. Second part. In the previous episode, we introduced the shield hardware and exposed the technical features and possible applications, as well as mentioned the library for Arduino, here we complete the previous speech…
It supports various low-cost GSM/GPRS modules in order to provide cellular connectivity to our Arduino projects. First part. Given the growing demand for electronic equipment with connection to the GSM/GPRS network, we decided to develop a new GSM shield for the Arduino and Raspberry Pi 3 platforms, capable of supporting various modules on…
The electronic guardian who watches over our baby’s rest periods and environmental conditions of their room. Sometimes, when “browsing” the web in search of solutions to common problems, we happen to run into projects which are decidedly significant from the point of view of the use of resources, aimed at solving a problem that…
The latest robot from Waveshare, it adds interesting features to the qualities of its predecessor. You were able to appreciate the instructional robotics platform on wheels called Alphabot, in an article dedicated to it, and you were able to see it in its version with Arduino controller. Alphabot, we remind you, is a robot…
