How to add Ethernet to Raspberry Pi Pico

Raspberry Pi Pico has a lot of interesting and unique features, but it doesn’t have networking. Of course this was only ever going to be a temporary inconvenience, and sure enough, over Pi Day weekend we saw both USB Ethernet and Ethernet PHY support released for Pico and RP2040. The PHY support was put together…

Supercomputing with Raspberry Pi | HackSpace 41

Although it’s a very flexible term, supercomputing generally refers to the idea of running multiple computers as one, dividing up the work between them so that they process in parallel. In theory, every time you double the amount of processing power available, you half the time needed to complete your task. This concept of ‘clusters’…

Low-cost Raspberry Pi Zero endoscope camera

Researchers at the University of Cape Town set about developing an affordable wireless endoscope camera to rival expensive, less agile options. Endoscopic cameras are used to look at organs inside your body. A long, thin, flexible tube with a light at the end is fed down your throat (for example), and an inside view of…

Remotely monitor freezer temperatures with Raspberry Pi

Elizabeth from Git Tech’d has shown us how to monitor freezers and fridges remotely with a temperature sensor and Raspberry Pi. A real-time temperature monitor dashboard lets you keep an eye on things, and text message alerts can be set up to let you know when the temperature is rising. The idea came about after…
