new to astrophotography, [Jason Bowling] had heard that the Raspberry Pi’s video camera module might be utilized as a inexpensive entry into the hobby. having a Raspberry Pi B+ as well as video camera module on hand from an old project, he dove best in, outlining the process for any type of other newcomers. Gingerly […]

[styroPyro] liked his Attacknid, however decided it needed just a bit more blue death ray laser. We’ve seen [styroPyro’s] high-powered laser hacks before, however this time he’s taken to hacking one of [Jaimie Mantzel’s] Attacknid robots. According to one of the top comments on [styroPyro’s] video—a comment by Attacknid inventor [Jaimie] himself—the robots were meant to be […]

one of the terrific predictions of desktop computing from the mid 1990s was that we would all move to so-called thin clients, stripped-out desktop computers containing only processor, display driver, and peripheral interfaces, that would call up their applications not from a local hard disk but from a remote server. It was one that was […]

Python is the Arduino of software projects. It has a critical mass of libraries for anything from facial recognition and neural networks to robotics and remote sensing. and just like Arduino, I have yet to find the killer IDE for Python. possibly I just haven’t tried the best one yet, but it could be that I’m […]

We’ve seen Kickstarter campaigns to put a single satellite into space and one to launch your own personalized postage-stamp sized satellite into low earth orbit. This time, though, you can break the bonds of earth and send your own Arduino compatible satellite on a collision course with the moon. The project is called Pocket Spacecraft, and exactly as its […]
