FPGA development has advanced dramatically in the last year, and this is entirely due to an open-source toolchain for Lattice’s iCE40 FPGA. Last spring, the bitstream for this FPGA was reverse engineered and a toolchain made available for anything that can run Linux, including a Raspberry Pi. [Dave] from Xess thought it was high time for a Raspberry Pi FPGA board. With the help of this open-source toolchain, he can

The SmartHome IoT Pi project by Pridopia is aimed towards creating a system capable of controlling devices over the internet from any device. Currently the system supports up to 12 Controlled devices and 1 DHT 2302/22 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. The main device ( G1 ) Can be triggered by temperature (with a DHT sensor) or time. The system uses Solid State Relays ( SSR ) or Switching Relays. For
When the Raspberry Pi came on the scene it was hard to imagine that you could get a fairly complete Linux system for such a low price. The Pi has gotten bigger, of course, but there are still a few things you miss when you try to put one into a project. Wifi, comes to mind, for example. The first thing you usually do is plug a Wifi dongle in,
Due to the proliferation of cellular networks, most homes have abandoned their land line telephone plan. The infrastructure is still there though, hidden in our walls. Why let all that copper go to waste? Let’s talk about how inexpensive and easy it is to reclaim this technology, making it useful again in today’s internet connected world. Needed: PBX Old phones, modems, answering machines, etc. Voice Over IP gateway Modular telephone
Raspberry Pi, one of the most ingenious invention for makers and hackers. Before we get started into the nitty gritty details of getting it setup, we first must ponder over the question that what the Raspberry Pi actually is? Raspberry Pi is a linux based single board computer in a small form factor capable of fast processing (compared to Arduino) and able to interact with the physical word through inputs
This tutorial will show how to stream Video via Raspicam to a web browser using a Raspberry Pi and the UV4L driver. Step 1: Material – Raspberry Pi or Odroid-W Running Raspbian – Raspicam – Router – Ethernet Cable Step 2: Enable Raspicam Before starting to configure the Raspberry, you’ll need to enable the Raspicam CSI port and expand the root filesystem. First, connect the Raspicam and the Raspberry
Here is a great tutorial by konovalov over at instructables which you can follow to build your own 3D Pi Camera for less than $100 (depending on desired quality and amount of parts already owned). It uses 2 usb webcams to capture and process images to .jps (stereo .jpg), ready to view on a 3D screen. Step 1: Parts and Equipment 1. Raspberry Pi (model B) and SD card (class 10 recommended,
For those interested in Bitcoin Mining take a look at this great instructable by robertlee0707 and for those who simply want to know what bitcoin mining is checkout www.bitcoinmining.com Step 1: Gather Your Parts You will need a Raspberry Pi 2 A powered USB hub ( Make sure to get a good quality one) Antminer U1/U2/U3 USB Fan Raspberry pi heatsink with fan Step 2: Setup USB and Heatsink Setup with the
Another great kickstarter campaign check out Pi Cubes by Cube-Controls Inc. Pi Cubes is modular DIY/Hobby HVAC Automation system based on the Raspberry Pi Linux Board. System is designed on the principles that commercial Building/HVAC automation systems are designed, only leveraged down to the Hobby/DIY market. Pi-Cubes provides a complete solution by using Raspberry Pi to control your home HVAC system in any complexity. You may control your Furnace, Boilers, Humidifiers,
Check out this awesome project by hipfan75 over at imgur. Tired of forgetting to close the garage doors at night he decided to build this rather ingenuous Raspberry powered garage door controller. Raspberry Pi Breakout Board with STM32F030 Arm Microcontroller One of the breakout boards, partially completed. More details here: http://imgur.com/a/qbVZ4 Garage Door Sensors Standard RJ-45 jack and cable strung between the garage door and the Pi. (Approximately 25 feet).
