An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte! [ARDUINO + RASPBERRY PI] Switching light with NRF24l01+ [Raspberry Pi – Arduino ]Lamp Switch[/caption] A month ago we planned to manage our Arduino irrigator (aka Irrigatorino) through the NRF24l01+ wireless module.

[ARDUINO + RASPBERRY PI] Switching light with NRF24l01+

Our little project has been subjected to a little change, since we decided to make our life easier (buahahah…) and remote control a light over a browser (yes, mobile too). Surprisingly, a lot of people liked the little demo I’ve made with some raw code and asked for a tutorial, so here we are: Ladies and (more probably) Gentleman, I’m glad to present you the lamp driven by a browser switch! Nothing new actually, but still exciting! To test the wiring we suggest you to use the ping/pong test you can find in the RF24 libraries (both, of the raspberry and the arduino).

An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte! Homeseer + Raspberry Pi = Hometroller-Zee ! Homeseer est l’une des solutions logicielles les plus connues dans le monde de la domotique. Pas toujours facile à prendre en main, il n’en reste pas moins la solution la plus puissante et la plus polyvalente. Et l’une des plus chères, la licence de la version normale coutant tout de même 250$ (et près de 600 pour la version pro…).

A l’origine, le logiciel devait être installé sur un ordinateur tournant sous Windows. En 2011, Homeseer a commencé à sortir ses « box » domotiques, sous forme d’un mini PC embarquant Windows XP Embeded et le logiciel Homeseer: les Hometrollers. Avec un prix de départ à 500$, ces machines ont malheureusement rencontré assez peu de succès en France. Pour les connaisseurs, les caractéristiques techniques et les photos ne trompent personne: Homeseer n’a pas confirmé, mais tout indique que le mini PC se cachant derrière le Hometroller-Zee n’est autre qu’un Raspberry Pi ! Ce Hometroller-Zee s’annonce particulièrement intéressant pour plusieurs raisons:

Synergy on Raspberry Pi. Synergy is a free and open source software that allows multiple computers to share a mouse and keyboard.

Synergy on Raspberry Pi

One of the computers that the keyboard and mouse is connected to becomes a Synergy server. The other computers becomes Synergy clients. All of this is done over the network. 7 Operating Systems You Can Run With Raspberry Pi. Who can argue with a $40 computer?

7 Operating Systems You Can Run With Raspberry Pi

Especially one that also forms a good base for electronics projects! I certainly can’t. But the hardware alone is only one side of the story: you still need to run an operating system. Join me today as I explore 7 different OSes you can install on your Raspberry Pi, right now. Disclaimer: some are significantly more useful than others. Linux Three different flavours of Linux are available officially: Pidora (based on Fedora); Archlinux (a DIY OS); and Raspian (Debian). Raspian is the recommended OS for everyone new to the Raspberry Pi, but if you fancy trying out some of the others too, a new tool from the creators of Raspberry Pi has been released which allows you to choose from a selection of images during boot-up (including some of the others on this list). RaZberry turns the Raspberry Pi into an affordable smart home gateway.

The team over at Z-Wave.Me sent the following article on using the Raspberry PI (a platform that I love) to control your Z-Wave devices for some good DIY home automation fun.

RaZberry turns the Raspberry Pi into an affordable smart home gateway

There are few electronic boards that have gained as much attention and excitement as the Raspberry Pi. The little 35 US$ microcomputer is a quite powerful computing engine with very capable graphics engine and other multimedia IOs. Initially intended as a toy for newcomers to get into the PC development world, the Raspberry Pi has hit seven digit sales figure in short time and has become more and more a commercial platform further lowering the entry barrier for new embedded computing solutions. The next step in this evolution is called RaZberry. This enhancement kit for the Raspberry Pi turns the microcomputer into a fully featured controller for Z-Wave wireless smart home networks. The RaZberry solution comes in three parts.
