Various projects created with a raspberry PI.

 

 

 

 

 

Led Flashing On / Off

Bought a basic kit on amazon from Freenov for around £30 with all the below in.

  • Raspberry Pi 3b
  • resistors
  • breadboard
  • jump wires
  • leds, tri colour leds.
  • motor
  • buzzer
  • capacitors
  • potentiometer
  • switches
    • physical switches
    • relays
    • electronic switches
      • transistors
      • diodes
      • Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) 
      • Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR)

This is like the hello world of Raspberry Pi, also got a motor turning, temp sensor, traffic lights, buzzer, petometer control for brightness, text to a display, controlling led matrix.

Retro Pi Games Console.

  • Created a desktop cabinet for console.
  • Acquired Arcade like joysticks and buttons for cabinet.
  • Old 4:3 monitor
  • Monitor Active SVGA Cable (needed more power that the PI output to power monitor)
  • Raspberry Pi 3b

Played a couple of opensource games now left mothballed in my Garage.

 

Time Lapse Camera

  • Raspberry Pi Zero W
  • Raspberry Pi Zero Camera and Cable.
  • Old Monitor Support
  • Bash scripting
  • Cron Job

Recorded a building site for about 18 months while the houses were constructed. 

Magic Mirror

Downloaded the Magic Mirror 2 code and had a play with that.  news feeds, email, weather, calendar.

  • Touch screen
  • Raspberry Pi 3b

Dismantled.

Home Assistant

Downloaded and installed. Also did this on a VM. Connected various edge devices. TV, heating system, media player, cctv camera's, some sensors, lights, smart plugs.

  • Touch screen
  • Raspberry Pi 3b

Dismantled. Might do this again soon

Purchased this, assembled and connected to google. Created a couple of commands then went on to other things and forgot about it. In a cupboard somewhere. Should revive at some point.
