If you loved the idea of the Google Glass, check out open source developer Adafruit. The Google Glass never quite revolutionized the tech market in the way we expected it to. Once scanned, the 3D image is rendered and ready for some genius to make a 3D printer out of a Raspberry Pi (hint). The cameras are intended to fire all at once and so create a strong image of something which, like in Richard’s experience, could be tricky with a subject such as two-year-old. However, don’t let that stop you from scanning all the things you’ll be printing when it does get there.įor this Raspberry Pi 3D scanner project, user the_anykey used 40 Pis and 40 cameras (although stresses it could be done with much fewer) as well as 40 8gb SD cards and, disappointingly, just a single power. Or this reason and others, the tech may take a few more years before it becomes truly accessible.
All the software is open source.ģD printing is a huge introduction to the technology space, but comes with a heavy price tag.
It’s touchscreen-controlled by partygoers, and it automatically emails your photos (if you wish) and uploads them to Google Photos where anyone with the password can see and share. This photo booth is based on a Raspberry Pi with a Pi camera module. The BricKuber is an open source Rubik’s cube solving robot that you can build yourself with the Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi camera and BrickPi3. In a wonderful marriage of two of the most customisable consumer items in history, Reddit creator Francesco Georg used Lego and a Raspberry Pi to conquer one of the most frustrating consumer items in history – the Rubik’s Cube.įrancesco’s creation can solve the Rubik’s Cube in around 90 seconds, not as fast as some machines and even some humans, but they aren’t made from Lego. This is a brilliant and modern design that keeps up with other brands offering the same solutions. It also runs a webcam so you can view live video from the camera when you are away. The camera uses object detection (with OpenCV) to send you an email whenever it sees an intruder. The team over at Hacker House have used a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a Raspberry Pi camera to make a smart security camera. The versatility of the Raspberry Pi is one of its most famous features. The only drawback is that the Raspberry Pi 3 is unable to play in 4k, but if this isn’t a requirement, this is a fantastic project to work on.
Jamie McKane has written a brilliant article surrounding the fabulous idea of living it large with a state of the art home theater, but doing it in a way that’s upgradable, convenient and above all, within a reasonable budget.
This particular model is created with the Raspberry Pi zero, and Jannis includes a full step-by-step on how you can create your own. Programmer, Jannis Hermanns, created this incredible Original Mac after a particularly inspiring session of LEGO with his son. Eben Upton, Raspberry Pi inventor and founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Providing children with access to low-cost programmable general-purpose computers is a little, simple thing that can have big, complex consequences down the line. We hope that one day people will look back on Raspberry Pi in the same way many of us look back on the BBC Micro, Sinclair Spectrum and Commodore 64: as the machines that gave us our first exposure to hardware and software engineering, and set us on the path to where we are today.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation provides low-cost, high-performance single-board computers and free software. The Raspberry Pi Foundation enables people to harness the power of computing and digital technologies for work, to solve problems that matter to them, and to express themselves creatively.
