Raspberry Pi NOAA Satellite Receiver Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

Emboldened by the success of his Raspberry PIrate radio, Matt indulges in some more radio hacking by building a specialized QFH antenna and a briefcase form-factor satellite receiver in an attempt to intercept "faxes" from OUTER SPAACEEE!!! Connect with Matt on the element14 community: http://bit.ly/2RiSXC5 Project TIROS is a self-contained, Raspberry Pi-based satellite signal reception system designed to automatically download images and data from NOAA's POES spacecraft as they pass overhead and display the data on an integrated LCD panel. In this video, Matt will walk through how to set up an RTL-SDR module with a Raspberry Pi for automated satellite downloads as well as how to design and build a quadrifilar helical antenna for polar-orbiting signal reception.

Atari Portfolio Inspired BeagleBone Black Wireless Computer Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

An actual Movie Star visits Clem's Bunker. He appeared in Terminator 2: Judgement Day and saved the world by helping John Connor to hack an ATM. we are talking about the Atari Portfolio, the smallest fully MS-DOS compatible Laptop ever made. Clem recreates this beloved device in a modern Form. He uses a Beaglebone Black Wireless and a Touchscreen to build an ultra Portable modern Linux computer, with the classic ATARI look.

Infinity Icosahedron Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

How do you make any electronics project better? Add LEDs. How do you make it infinitely better? Add infinite LEDs! Ok, so we can’t actually add that many LEDs to a project (not to mention the mathematical impossibility), but we can bounce light around endlessly with the infinity mirror effect for a far out light show that makes for a psychedelic addition to any space. So today we’ll be making an infinity polyhedron out of addressable RGB LEDs and a 3D-printed frame. Connect with DJ on element14:

Most Useless IoT Device Ever Part 2 Nov 02, 2018

Show notes

In part 2 of our quest to build the most Useless IoT Device Ever, Matt--jealous of Hawaii's perfect waves--decides to add flight tracking capabilities to the Rock. Except that the flights he's tracking aren't his own! The AirborneSurfer pulls his namesakes together to build a device that will alert him whenever someone else's plane lands at the destination he'd rather be!

Raspberry Pi Virtual Reality Arcade Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

From the maker that brought us Virtual Reality Doom, Clem now brings us an up to date and upgraded Raspberry Pi project in the form of the open source clone of Quake 3 Arena: Open Arena! Using an Arduino and radio frequency communications, Clem makes it almost wireless in its ability to transmit the orientation data to the Raspberry Pi in realtime oer 5.8Ghz! Can you help Clem finish off the project? Find out how on the element14 Community!

Adding a Motor to your Bike with Arduino Oct 10, 2018

Show notes

Can you create a project that could change someone's life for the better? Join the team as they motorise a trike with safety mechanisms using Arduino to help improve those with multiple sclerosis to be more mobile in their neighbourhood. Adding a DC motor, front collision detection, a smart brake and evening a garage door opener and calorie burning detection! Helping to be mobile and healthy! Thanks to the Arduino MKR 1000 IoT Bundle and a lot of mechanical hard work, you can find the build materials and talk with the team on the element14 community.

Most Worthless IoT Device Ever - Part 1 Oct 05, 2018

Show notes

Almost everything is connected to the internet now, your fridge, your child, your car and your pet. In industrial environments the internet of things can be very useful! But, what could be the most useless IoT device? Well we have an ESP8266, arduino and the internet - what could go wrong? Let us know what your ideas are for the most useless or useful internet of things device could be on the element14 Community!

R.O.B. Rebuild and Upgrade Sep 28, 2018

Show notes

R.O.B. was a Robotic Operating Buddy, created as a companion for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), now far beyond their end of life, it's time to bring back the little robot companion with the help of a Raspberry Pi. In this episode, we tear down R.O.B. and implement a Raspberry Pi, motor and voice control with a miniature projector to create a motorised retro gaming setup themed appropriately for the earlier days of home gaming!
