A robotics development platform based on a two-wheel mechanics plus pivoting wheel on which you can prototype applications, controllable with popular Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi 3 boards or both. Robotics is one of the most engaging parts of electronics because it can combine different fields of knowledge and skills in the same project; in…
The Tactigon is a board for wearable applications prototyping, able to recognize gestures and different kind of movements, thanks to the firmware availability and simple programming which are typical of the Arduino environment. You knew about it In the introductory post published issue and in the first proposed application; now you can see it in…
[bctt tweet=”A shield for the acquisition of 8 analog signals from the Raspberry Pi board.” username=”OpenElectronics”] A shield for the acquisition of 8 analog signals from the Raspberry Pi board, which can be stacked with other boards in order to, for instance, interface a big quantity of sensors, diagnostics, environmental control and IoT applications….
Let’s put our VoIP notions to practice by creating our switchboard equipped with all the most advanced features. Raspberry PI is a single board computer that we already had the chance to use in the most diverse applications. By taking advantage of its predisposition to work as small Linux server, we used it…
Let’s find out how to make a phone switchboard equipped with all the most advanced features, by using a Raspberry Pi as hardware and Asterisk as software. Part one. The term VoIP, which means “Voice over Internet Protocol”, refers to a group of technologies used to transport voice using the Internet-based IP protocol as…
Let’s create a portable touchscreen all-in-one PC, to be used both as a portable computer and as a platform for the field development of applications, thanks to the integration of peripherals and to the access – from the outside – to Raspberry Pi’s expansion connector. The computing power and the rich equipment of peripherals…
Home cinema becomes even more immersive thanks to Raspberry and addressable LEDs: let’s re-create the Ambilight TV effect on any other TV using Raspberry and Kodi. What’s better than watching a movie in front of your TV in the summer heat or …under a warm blanket in the winter? Once the perfect mood…
RandA has been updated to be compatible with the 3rd version of Raspberry Pi: let’s going deep and explain all the new features. As you probably know, if you are familiar with the evolution of the raspberry board, in February of this year the 3rd new version of Raspberry Pi has been launched on…
If you had a Teddy Ruxpin in the ’80s and ’90s, you probably remember inserting special tapes and hearing him read stories to you. Whether you loved or hated the little bear, it was hard to forget his weirdly moving mouth and eyes. Today though, with small and cheap development boards readily available, this mechanical system is…
Makes Raspberry Pi suitable to be used in “professional” environments, sports a power source, an UPS, a RTC clock, a watchdog function, RS232 and RS485 converter and a buzzer. All in one. In the previous posts in which we presented different solutions – and above all in the professional daily work – we…
Let’s see how to use this shield along with Raspberry Pi, by means of a dedicated library. In the last installment we gave readers description of a new RTCC shield, based on the MCP79410 integrated circuit, by Microchip just after having presented the sketch for Arduino; now, as anticipated in the first installment,…
Let’s use a new Real Time Clock by Microchip, by making it available on a shield for two prototyping boards. First Installment. Many applications require an hourly information, that is locally obtained by means of circuits that are named RTCs (Real Time Clock) or RTCCs (Real Time Clock Calendar); among them are clock…
