The Raspberry Pi is a small beast of a machine, and particularly with the latest version, the Raspberry Pi 4, it can run quite hot – therefore it could do with some cooling.
Today we look at the creative solutions that people have employed to cool their Raspberry Pis, and a word of warning, I’m totally ignoring practicality here!
Robotics is the next disruptor which is obvious, electronics, data science and hardware knowledge is very important to make a mark in this field. Robots ranging from small printing machines to huge arm movements are very precise which has been possible by introducing a new generation of motors known as STEP Motor or STEPPING Motor and popularly known as STEPPER Motor.
Zelda 64DD Mod – on real hardware! Dawn & Dusk – a brand new mod by Captain Seedy-Eye, ported to the Nintendo 64DD by LuigiBlood. For the first time, we play a Zelda: Ocarina of Time expansion (IE: an Ura Zelda replacement).
I bought a Premium Refurbished Nintendo Wii U from Gamestop last week – and proceeded to mod it.
But is it worth it?
I have been asked many times if it is possible to use an old laptop screen (LCD Panel salvaged from an old laptop), watch the video and see how its done!
Part 2, what is LVDS… https://youtu.be/Gph9hYLPMFk
For the longest time my answer has been NO, or not with a lot of work It is now time to change that answer, in this video you will see how you can use many different LCD panels from OLD Laptops with the raspberry PI with the purchase and connection of a simple board from Banggood.
Let’s find out if it’s worth to reinforce our 3D prints with carbon fibers and epoxy.
I bought a pair of KY008 laser module and a matching sensor, and I knew I had to make some cool project with it. So took the pair, and created an electric time keeping gate for the slot car track that was already on the table for my self-driving slot car project.
We go hands-on with the latest prototype of Tilt Five, the augmented reality glasses made for tabletop gaming! We take a deep dive into the technology that makes this system work with inventor Jeri Ellsworth, and demo some of the AR boardgame experiences in development. This unique approach to augmented reality works really well and has some surprising advantages over other AR hardware we’ve previously used!
The Matrix was a hit, and now a favorite among hackers, for a lot of reasons. One of the most intriguing plot devices in the movie was the characters’ ability to download new skills. For instance, Neo is able to instantaneously learn advanced martial arts techniques — at least within the digital world. While that is purely science fiction, a new type of wearable sleeve developed by Dr. Pedro Lopes at the University of Chicago’s Human Computer Integration Lab could make a simplified version of that possible.
Learn how computers work by building and programming a computer with the classic 6502 microprocessor. This was the first truly low-cost microprocessor that started the personal-computing revolution. Versions of 6502 found their way into the Atari 2600, Apple II, Nintendo Entertainment System, Commodore 64, Atari Lynx, BBC Micro and many other computers and game consoles of the era.
In this video series, I’ll build a basic 6502 computer with an LCD display and a few buttons, explain how to program it in assembly, and write a game or two.
