Reading Time: 3 minutes “Although the term ‘IoT’ was not common in 2009, I combined the optical drive, cardboard, and springs to create a thing that could feed the hamster or control the power switch of the air conditioner by [moving] the tray of the optical drive,” Akkie tells us. “It is quieter, easier, and smarter to implement similar […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Such nonconformity “is a mindset that many programmers and engineers find difficult to accept,” says Mike, explaining why he and his PhD student co-founder Aviel Stein set about improving the odds of a successful harvest. Their response, Oasis-grow, is a ‘smart agriculture engine’ that runs on Raspberry Pi and collects detailed information about whatever the […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Over the course of last year, the way they play together had to change. Mainly, they had to move outside and that caused some problems. “Community Jams couldn’t play music indoors using our web‑based chords and lyrics application,” says Bob Steele, a retired programmer and current Community Jams member. “Outdoors, I put the app on a […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes Guyrandy Jean-Gilles is a musical maker who took Raspberry Pi Pico and created something rather special. “The goal of the project was to make a low-cost, automatic guitar tuner,” he tells us. “I’d been meaning to do a project with Pico and there are few development boards as cheap and well-documented.” Pico power Guyrandy developed […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Containing a Raspberry Pi 4, TonyPi (£380 / $519) comes preassembled (aside from the connectable head), so the fun here is all about controlling him. He’s a solidly built fella, with angular joints and broad lower arms and hands primed for scooping up coloured balls on command. We rather liked his all-white finish, which contrasts […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Team leader Arijit Das explains that SPY-DER is so-named because of its ability to walk like an arachnopod – much to the consternation of some observers. The robot’s main purpose is for live video surveillance, streaming footage that can be viewed remotely via a dedicated web browser. SPY-DER can be controlled in two ways, either […]
