Eye on the Sky
A company in Sheffield, together with contributions from the local Institute of Physics, has built a telescope, primarily out of 3D-printed parts, and used the Raspberry Pi camera module to take pictures through the lens. There’s a little more information on
PiKon’s blog and more on
the Alternative Photonics site and you can follow them on
Twitter.
Arduino-Pi
Here’s a
great tutorial, and accompanying video (see below), from “Android Eric” in which he describes how to use the Firmata sketch on an Arduino and a python library on the Raspberry Pi. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap2O9WZmFtI&w=600]
Goblins!
Andrew Oakley’s daughter’s bedroom is plagued by goblins. So, they decided to use a Raspberry Pi to scare them off! They’ve used a PIR sensor for detection and the Pibrella for a buzzer and general connectivity. Lovely little project –
check it out here for a write-up/tutorial with all the code.
