AirCasting Raspberry Pi Design Contest I took a vintage voltmeter that I found at Uncommon Objects in Austin and modified it to make its voltage range more Pi-friendly. A utility class to handle calibration made this into a first-class display device. With a little help from our designers at work, we used it to create a meter registering the number of new lobbyists that register each week. Color My Desk is a publicly controllable string of lights illuminating my daily workspace. I was asked how hard it would be to create a charging station that would use our existing campus ID cards. I had a proof of concept working on an old dell P3 before long. Since my main goal was low price I was happy to try integrating a raspberry Pi. I extended the software to accept both swipe and prox cards using a Weigand style reader. Next is to use HDMI for some local advertising… “Chicago Faces” is a guerrilla art piece that photographs the faces of unsuspecting civilians using open source hardware and software.

e-Health Sensor Platform V2.0 for Arduino and Raspberry Pi [Biometric / Medical Applications] In August 2013 Cooking Hacks launched the new version of the first biometric shield for Arduino and Raspberry Pi: the e-Health Sensor Platform V2.0. Thanks to the feedback given by the Community and several projects that have been created with it, we have improved the e-Health platform with new features such as: New muscle sensor New blood pressure sensor Upgraded glucometer New Connection possibilities In this tutorial we will explain how to work with e-Health Sensor Platform V2.0. Tutorial: e-Health Sensor Platform V1.0 for Arduino and Raspberry Pi [Biometric / Medical Applications] This information can be used to monitor in real time the state of a patient or to get sensitive data in order to be subsequently analysed for medical diagnosis. If real time image diagnosis is needed a camera can be attached to the 3G module in order to send photos and videos of the patient to a medical diagnosis center. Quick FAQ: What does it mean to count with an open medical monitoring platform? Kit Sensors
The $99 Khan Academy wireless server, using a Raspberry Pi At the Rigsum Research Lab we are always looking for ways to use technology for benefiting education in the local context. For example, one of the challenges facing schools in Bhutan is the lack of access to online resources such as Khan Academy. Khan Academy is a free educational website containing more than 4000 short, high-quality lectures covering topics ranging from math and the sciences to economics and the humanities. Access to Khan Academy empowers both students and teachers. Since most schools in Bhutan do not have access to the Internet, or the access is painfully slow, viewing online lectures is usually impossible. We recently built a $99 Khan Academy wireless (and wired) server. Imagine: For around Nu. 5000, any school, college, library or community centre in Bhutan can offer unlimited access to one of the world's top educational resources; no internet required. How we built it
Искусственный рассвет Началось всё год назад. Перед Новым 2014 годом несколько пришел в упадок жизненный тонус. Процесс самокопания привел к следующей мысли: — А, что ж так темно-то, Господи? Впрочем, для человека, живущего зимой по летнему времени — мысль вполне естественная. Идея Не имея возможности переставить время я решил попробовать изменить ощущения посредством изменения освещения. Для общей принципиальной проверки концепции была куплена белая светодиодная лента и приклеена (оказалось, что на этих лентах есть клеящий слой) к карнизу кухни, причем таким образом, что самих светодиодов нельзя было увидеть даже случайно — это же иллюзия, её нельзя разрушать. Нужные для белой пятиметровой ленты 2A на 12V были взяты были взяты от БП сдохшего переносного диска. К сожалению, сохранились только три снимка от того первого исторического эксперимента (снятые на миксер), но думаю общее представление они передают. Да… ну и бардак в общем-то так себе… Но! Очевидно, нужна RGB-лента управляемая по расписанию. Реализация
Raspberry Pi: A Paradigm Shift for ICT4D? Here at the Centre for Development Informatics we’ve spent years avoiding a techno-centric approach to ICT4D. But . . . we are rather excited about Raspberry Pi. If you don’t already know it, Raspberry Pi is not a low-cost computer. Although credit card-sized, Pi is a fully-functioning computer. At those sorts of production scales, costs for Pi could be reduced to around the US$15-20 mark. In many ways, its key attributes are those of a mobile phone (not surprising since it runs with the same ARM chipset you’ll find in many mobiles): Very low cost puts it into the category of “semi-disposable” device, and a ready addition to many other innovations without breaking the bank.Its robustness and low maintenance requirements make it particularly suitable to harsh developing country environments.Its small size and portability make it suitable for applications that other computers can’t reach.It has very low power consumption, so can work more easily in electrical off-grid environrments.

Nora, The Smart Snoring Solution by Smart Nora Inc. No pillow beats your favorite one, so we designed the pillow insert to work with all types of pillows, whether firm or soft. The insert is padded so you can comfortably put your arm under the pillow. The folding structure rises equally across the length of your pillow, so you can put your head anywhere. Whether you prefer to sleep on your back or the side, Nora works just fine. We keep all of the electronics away from your head, making sure you get a natural and healthy sleep. Nora comes in a beautiful portable bag equipped with a rechargeable battery, making it easy to use on the go. Why do we snore? Snoring is the result of our airways collapsing as the upper throat muscles relax during sleep. Nora silently and gently moves your head using a lightweight, padded insert that sits under the pillow. Nora will ship with an iOS app providing valuable insights into your snoring and sleep patterns. Nora has been tested by our early users from 2 weeks, to 4 months (and counting).
