Maz_Baz’s RaspberryPi-Powered, 3D-Printed Cyberdeck Gives the Rebel Alliance Pathfinders a New Tool

by

3D-printed chassis, inspired by Star Wars aesthetics, houses an off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi touchscreen, Bluetooth keyboard, and USB battery.

Redditor Maz_Baz has built a Raspberry Pi-powered cyberdeck that any Star Wars fan would love to lug around, inspired by the aesthetics of the Rebel Alliance Pathfinders and near-completely 3D-printed.

“Pathfinders are the special forces troops of the Rebel Alliance,” Baz explains of the inspiration behind the design, “and I wanted to create something that one of their techs might lug into battle — Field Terminal — for quick hacks into Imperial systems or airstrike coordination. Or in my case, a tactical way to go from my desk to my couch.”

This Little RaspberryPi Device Lets You View Your NFTs

by

Snarflakes designed a Raspberry Pi-based displayer that lets you view your NFT images whenever you like.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a new concept in the world of cryptocurrency, though the idea itself is timeless. A fungible currency or commodity is one that is identical in value to every other unit of its type. Conventional currency is fungible, because a particular dollar bill always has the same value as any other dollar bill. A non-fungible commodity’s value is dependent on its own unique characteristics. Diamonds, for example, vary in value depending on their size, clarity, inclusions, and so on. NFTs are units of currency with values specific to themselves, and they’re usually represented as images. This Raspberry Pi-based device lets you view those NFT images whenever you like.

Paper Pi is an Ergonomic Cyberdeck Meant for Thumbs

by

What’s the fastest way to master console stuff like screen or emacs? Force yourself to use it exclusively, of course. But maybe you’d be tempted to cheat with a desktop. We know we would be. In that case, you ought to build a console-only cyberdeck like this sweet little thing by [a8skh4].

This cyberdeck serves another purpose as well — the keyboard layout is Miryoku, so [a8ksh4] can get more practice with that at the same time. Fortunately, the layout is built for emacs.

Inside is a Raspberry Pi 4 and what looks to be an Arduino handling the keyboard input. The Paper Pi spotlights a 4.2″ e-ink screen between a split thumb keyboard that’s made of soft, silent, tactile switches.

Boochow’s RaspberryPi Pico Receives and Decodes MIDI Signals via Its USB Port

by

Developed using the TinyUSB library, this project receives MIDI messages via USB and decodes them for printing via UART.

Pseudonymous developer “boochow” has used the popular Raspberry Pi Pico in the heart of a MIDI device with a difference: Rather than making music, it’s designed to monitor and display the MIDI signals received from a USB MIDI device.

Automatic Cereal Dispenser With Facial Recognition

by

A device that automatically dispenses cereal when a face is recognized on a Raspberry Pi camera running OpenCV.

Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day. Nearly a quarter of individuals in the U.S do not eat breakfast and this mainly due to not having enough time in the mornings. I believe that time is not the issue robbing us of our sweet sustenance and is a simple fact that cereal boxes are too heavy. I wanted to create a machine that would use Artificial Intelligence to detect specific people and pour the cereal they like for them to conserve the critical energy that is needed to tackle the day. Picking up a cereal box has gotten more and more difficult throughout the years with the increase in cereal box size. To combat the strain to muscles that daily cereal box pouring can cause, my device makes it easy to keep your weak muscles safe and nourished.

RaspberryPi Assisted ‘Anti-Mosquito Laser Turret’ Has Been Developed

by

Russian computer scientist named Ildar Rakhmatulin produced a mosquito laser using Raspberry Pi and laser. An expert working on brain-computer interfaces at Russia’s South Ural State University claims that with his invention, he neutralized two mosquitoes per second.

” Raspberry Pi to kill mosquitoes laser ” online as a non-peer reviewed preprint in January. In it, he lays out a plan to snipe mosquitoes out of the air using a Raspberry Pi equipped with a Pi camera, a galvanometer that detects electrical currents, and a commercially-available laser pointer that’s 450 nanometers and one wavelength—powerful enough to kill a mosquito and blind someone looking directly at it, but not enough to burn skin.

Robin Grosset Takes a RaspberryPi Pico’s RP2040 to New Heights with an Overclock to 420MHz

by

Impressive overclock boosts the RP2040’s Arm cores to more than three times their official upper limit of 133MHz.

Engineer Robin Grosset has pushed a Raspberry Pi Pico and its RP2040 microcontroller to its limits, successfully overclocking the chip from its stock 133MHz to an impressive 420MHz.

Launched earlier this year the Raspberry Pi Pico development board plays host to Raspberry Pi’s first in-house silicon, the RP2040 microcontroller. Officially, the chip can be clocked at speeds of up to 133MHz — but unofficially the part can run considerably quicker, as is often required to get the best performance out of hacks like turning one into a fully-functional BBC Micro emulator.

Thomas Megel’s OpenScan Offers 10-Micron 3D Scanning on a RaspberryPi and HQ Camera Module

by

Low-cost 3D-scanning system offers sub-30-micron accuracy on a cheap Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2.1, or 10-micron on the HQ Camera.

Thomas Megel is aiming to bring down the cost and complexity of accurate 3D scanning — and to prove it, he’s scanned a Raspberry Pi single-board computer using another Raspberry Pi single-board computer.
