Another weekend has passed and I decided to get rid or the ugly cables connecting the raspberry pi zero to the 3d printer. For this to go well (in one end because the tri-gorilla doesn't output power in the usb-B port and in the other because the raspberry had the connections on the opposite side that I wanted) I decided to solder the 4 wires directly to the raspberry pi zero (2nd pic) and in the other end I used a female usb-b (so that I can still disconnect the whole thing easily when needed),solder the data- and data+ to the tri-gorilla and the power I connected to the aux 5v & gnd pins.

I would say the end result got pretty neat and now I'm not afraid anymore to tune the camera direction when printing since it's not so easy to disconnect the cables anymore :P

Magic mirror / Family calendar

Old monitor dismantled and placed in a photo frame. Addition of a mirror film and cutting of a black sheet for the background.

Raspbian installed on a RaspberryPi Zero W (placed in a 3D printed blue box). 

Configuration : 

-       Download and install Raspbian (full : with Chromium)

-       Setup network, timezone, user/pwd, blockpopup…

-       Install Unclutter to be able to hide mouse cursor :

-        Apt-get install unclutter

-       Create your Dakboard (it’s free for a simple private usage) on https://dakboard.com/options/message

-       Make sure that Chromium starts up full screen, the mouse is hidden :

-        sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

-        @xset s off

-        @xset -dems

-        @xset s noblank

-        @chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --incognito –disable-features=TranslateUI –kiosk https://dakboard.com/yourURL

-        @unclutter -idle 0

-       Set up a cronjob if you want to turn the Pi's screen on and off on a schedule. crontab -e that looks like this:

-        # Turn monitor Off at 21:00/09:00pm during weekdays

-        0 21 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0

-        

-        # Turn monitor On at 06:00/06:00pm during weekdays

-        0 6 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 1

-        

-        # Turn monitor Off at 22:00/10:00pm during the weekend

-        0 22 * * 6-7 /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 0

-        

-        # Turn monitor On at 08:00/08:00pm during the weekend

-        0 8 * * 6-7 /usr/bin/vcgencmd display_power 1

-       Rotate your display to portrait mode :

- Sudo nano /boot/config.txt

-  Add the following line to the bottom of the file :

- display_rotate=1

- how to add Google Calendar to Dakboard : https://dakboard.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/35000030558-how-to-add-your-google-calendar-to-dakboard

- And reboot your RaspberryPi (sudo reboot)...

This Movement-Detecting Wildlife Digicam Was Made with Raspberry Pi

This Movement-Detecting Wildlife Digicam Was Made with Raspberry Pi

Desire a distant motion-activated wildlife digital camera with out shelling out huge bucks? You possibly can construct one your self utilizing Raspberry Pi. PiBat not too long ago constructed a pint-sized one, and it really works fairly nicely.

The construct makes use of the Raspberry Pi Zero W, an affordable and compact single-board laptop that has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

“Now that the PiZeroW is offered, it’s now doable to make fairly small wildlife cameras,” PiBat writes. The construct additionally makes use of the Raspberry Pi Digicam Module V2.1, which has improved picture high quality.

The digital camera case is barely a little bit bigger than a pack of ordinary enjoying playing cards. On the entrance of the digital camera is a 12X telephoto lens that’s designed for cellphones, permitting for close-up pictures of animals that wander into the body.

“The digital camera module must be positioned a couple of millimeters behind the lens to keep away from vignetting of the picture,” PiBat says.

Right here’s what the digital camera regarded like previous to camouflage tape being utilized over the floor:

The free and open supply movement detection program PiKrellCam is what turns this digital camera into an computerized wildlife digital camera. Listed below are some pictures that had been triggered by the themes flying into the scene:

The digital camera will be triggered to seize video as nicely. Listed below are a few examples:

PiBat beforehand constructed a bigger Raspberry Pi path digital camera in 2013 — when you’re concerned with constructing considered one of these items your self, you could find particulars on the 2013 construct and the Python script used (to set off the digital camera when movement is detected) right here.

This DIY Furby Echo speaker will probably give you nightmares

Furby is already a tad creepy by itself, but a new DIY mod just stepped up the spookiness: Howchoo has converted a Furby toy into a makeshift Amazon Echo. The project works its dark magic by shoehorning a Raspberry Pi Zero W mini-PC into the critter’s frame, giving it the power to run Amazon’s open source Alexa Voice Service. Add a USB mic, a speaker and a stepper motor and you get a Furby that…

Got my hands into a raspberry pi zero w and decided to do a portable arcade machine with an snes controller. 

Why an snes controller? It barely provides enough space for everything, but it does have 4 buttons + 2 triggers and it’s still flat and small enough to carry in the pocket. A nes controller would provide more assembly space, but with less buttons and a square shape.

So basically I used a raspberry pi zero w, a micro sd card, a lithium battery charger, a lithium battery from my small syma x5c quadcopter (3.7V 500mAh - if buying one there are already more powerful ones with the same form/size), an snes controller (got one on amazon), a small power button, a mini hdmi to hdmi converter and some wires.

Then it’s just some patience wiring all together and testing it. Getting a retropie distro into the sd card, adding some roms on it and configuring the snes controller to work via the gpio’s.

I inspired myself in this 2 tutorials:

Don’t forget to configure the wifi and enable the ssh before closing the remote for further management/copying roms into the pi.

Andy's first #heatsink installation. The #raspberrypizerow is small but mighty and we have no clue what to do with it next but will give it our best shot. Just finished loading the @c4labsinc case assembly on YouTube and will load a small tease later after edit.
