Josh Kiepert built this Raspberry Pi Cluster while at the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Boise State. He didn’t want to rely on the stability of the Beowulf cluster at the university while working on his doctoral research so he decided to build his own using 33 Raspberry Pi computers. He has stacked them wired them with a custom power interface so that he can keep the power lines
If you have a project that needs to talk have a look at the Network Speech Server by Viktor Criterion from Super Fun Adventure Quest Time. This design uses a Wifi module that listens for messages on a port. When a message comes in it is passed to the text to speech module so it can be spoken. This would make a great addition to an online business
 Max Thrun shared his latest project with us called the BeagleBone GamingCape. Wow, what an undertaking. The video below takes you through a time lapse view of the design of the custom PCB and the custom enclosure. The enclosure was tested by doing a print on a 3D printer before it was cut on a laser machine. The case design is an interesting layered design that is constructed
 Gavin Hannah from Kilmarnock, United Kingdom has documented his Ultrasonic Anti-Collision Robot Build that he just finished. He discusses the issues that he has along the process and has all of the parts that were used in the side bar of the site. “I’ve also coined a name for my project. SARRRO, which stands for Search & Rescue Reconnaissance Rover.  I’ve updated the site title to reflect this.  From now on,
  Check out this cool Hard Disk Drive Midi Scratch Table. It uses the sensor from an optical mouse to look at the movement of a hard drive platter. There are a number of buttons that can change the midi output of the device to allow it to adapt to your DJ needs. The optical sensor is used to read a pattern on the underside of the platter to
  Just imagine not having sight to see what is around you. This DIY Visual Impairment Aid project allows the user to use it to look around using the ultrasonic finder that detects how far things are in front of it and provides this information to the wearer by beeping at different intervals. I am wondering is some type of low speed vibration motor or pressure feedback would be
AnalysIRÂ is an Arduino based IR Remote Control Analyzer. This system will help you get some use from the mountain of IR based remote controls most of us have laying around. Via: Arduino Blog “AnalysIR is made up of 3 components: AnalysIR Windows PC application. An Arduino (or other MCU type platform such as Raspberry Pi, Pic, MSP, AVR etc) with an inbuilt serial over USB, connected to the
