Create your own home office work status light with Raspberry Pi

If you’re working from home and you have children, you’re probably finding it all pretty demanding at the moment. Spreadsheets and multiple tabs and concentrating aren’t nearly so manageable without the dedicated workspace you have at the office and with, instead, small people vying relentlessly for your attention. And that’s not to mention the horror […]

Resurrecting a vintage microwave sensor with Raspberry Pi

Here’s one of those lovely “old tech new spec” projects, courtesy of hackster.io pro Martin Mander. After finding a vintage Apollo microwave detector at a car boot sale, and realising the display hole in the top was roughly the same size as a small Adafruit screen, he saw the potential to breath new life into […]

You don’t need me to tell you about the unprecedented situation that the world is facing at the moment. We’re all in the same boat, so I won’t say anything about it other than I hope you stay safe and take care of yourself and your loved ones. The other thing I will say is […]

Printing at home from your Raspberry Pi

Yesterday I wrote about working from home with your Raspberry Pi, and talked about things like how to connect to your company VPN, and how to get video conferencing up and working. However, one thing I didn’t talk about – and that many of you have asked for some guidance on – was printing. To […]

Working from home with your Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 4 is more than powerful enough to serve as replacement desktop computer while you’re working from home. Or as a secondary desktop to help you out while you’re doing other things, such video conferencing, on your main computer. If you’re pulling your Raspberry Pi out of a drawer right now, you should make […]

Raspberry Pi puts the heart back in mid-noughties nostalgia tech

Is it still the Easter holidays? Can anyone tell? Does it matter, when we have nostalgic tech bunny pets to share with you? These little bunnies can now do much more than when they first appeared. But they’re still incredibly cute – just look at that little lopsided-ear thing they do. The original Nabaztag bunnies […]

This clock really, really doesn’t want to tell you the time

What’s worse than a clock that doesn’t work? One that makes an “unbearably loud screeching noise” every minute of every day is a strong contender. That was the aural nightmare facing YouTuber Burke McCabe. But rather than just fix the problem, he decided, in true Raspberry Pi community fashion, to go one step further. Because […]

Crunch your way through morning meetings

OK, so, we’re not really here. It is a public holiday in the UK and we are all between three and seventeen pounds of Easter chocolate and hot cross buns deep. Our teeth hurt. Anyway, we’re not sure what possessed our cute friends over at Deep Local to do this, but we like it, and […]

Make a Side Pocket-esque pool game | Wireframe #36

Recreate the arcade pool action of Data East’s Side Pocket. Raspberry Pi’s own Mac Bowley has the code. Created by Data East in 1986, Side Pocket was an arcade pool game that challenged players to sink all the balls on the table and achieve a minimum score to progress. As the levels went on, players […]
