Bulky bench power supplies and dedicated adapters are still common on electronics workbenches, but they are often inconvenient to carry around and overkill for many portable or field setups. With USB Power Delivery and newer GaN chargers now able to provide high power from compact adapters, developers are starting to treat USB-C as a serious power source rather than just a charging port.

HackyFi, one of the tiniest yet most capable USB-C development dongles built for hackers, makers, educators, and security researchers. Powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2350A microcontroller, the ultra-compact device integrates a 0.85-inch LCD screen, dual programmable buttons, RGB status LED, 2MB onboard flash, and a microSD card slot all inside a keychain-sized form factor. Designed to challenge…

When it comes to filmmaking, cinema cameras are often one of the most expensive and unavoidable pieces of equipment. This reality has led many independent creators and engineers to explore lower-cost alternatives, including open-source and DIY camera platforms. In a recent project, Matthew Trahan documented the process of building a compact cinema-style camera using…

YouTuber Coding with Lewis recently demonstrated how an AI model can be given a physical body by converting an RC car into a fully autonomous wilderness explorer. Using Claude 3.5 Opus as the decision-making engine and a Raspberry Pi 5 as the onboard controller, the project bridges digital intelligence with real-world robotics, allowing the vehicle to navigate snowy forest terrain completely…

A home is meant to be the safest place for a child, yet falls remain the leading cause of injury in domestic environments. Studies show that nearly 60% of home injuries in children are due to falls, with incidents from heights such as balconies, staircases, and windows being the most severe. Hospital reports indicate…

In this guide, we will create a simple and precise digital clock using the  Raspberry Pi Pico RTC DS3231 Module through the Arduino IDE. We will use a 16x2 I²C LCD screen to display the information. Since the screen is small, we will write smart code that changes what is shown on the screen. For a few seconds, it will display the time and date, and then switch to show the temperature.…

The Raspberry Pi Pico SD card module is a simple yet very handy add-on that lets you store and access a lot of data using a standard microSD card.  When interfacing the SD card module with Raspberry Pi Pico, you gain access to gigabytes of storage for sensor logging, configuration files, and time-stamped data. This comprehensive guide will show you how to build…

Over the years, I’ve collected a few Raspberry Pi boards, my trusty Pi 4 and even an older Pi 3 that was gathering dust in a drawer. Instead of letting them sit unused, I decided to give them a new life by turning them into something surprisingly practical: a Raspberry Pi WiFi router with built-in ad-blocking capabilities.

With the…

If you’ve tinkered with Raspberry Pi boards for a while, you probably know the default choice: Raspberry Pi OS. It’s lightweight, optimised, and works flawlessly for most DIY projects. But what if you could install Windows 11 on Raspberry Pi? That's exactly what I accomplished on my Raspberry Pi 4 and later on the Pi 5 and Pi 3.

That’s exactly what I set out…

In a YouTube video, Fangzhan Shi introduced Pi-RTCSI, a self-contained Wi-Fi sensing tool designed for Raspberry Pi CM4 and Raspberry Pi 4B. It’s built using the Nexmon framework and makes use of Round Trip Channel State Information (RTCSI) to achieve phase-accurate localization. It comes ready to use as an SD card image, eliminating any need for environment configuration or compilation.

Want to boot your Raspberry Pi from USB instead of unreliable SD cards? If you've used a Raspberry Pi long enough, you've probably faced the dreaded SD card failure. Maybe it corrupted right after a power outage, or maybe it just wore out from thousands of log writes. That's when I finally decided no more SD cards. They're great for getting started with Raspberry Pi, but when you want…
