We have a pet Hamster, which is mostly active at night being that they are nocturnal animals. Playing in silence all on its own, which may be a good thing but to me that sounds lonely. So I thought I would give it the option to have a bit of a boogie at night. So I built a music player with sensor triggers.

I have been interested in the NVMe SSD PCIe add-ons that have been released by Pimoroni and Pineberry but I still want to use my existing Pi5 Case. Unfortunately they don't fit. So I decided to mod the case.

Activate an easy Automated WiFi AccessPoint or connect to a local WiFi Network for Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm. The AP is automatically created when you are not in range of a known WiFi network. Useful for both headerless or desktop setups. 

The PiOS 12 Bookworm has been released at the same time as the Raspberry Pi 5, but can you still use 11 Bullseye or even 10 Buster with the Raspberry Pi 5.

 mBot ranger is a 3 in 1 remote control robot and a fun way to get started programming with drag and drop block coding and plenty of features for the more advanced programmer.

The Wio Terminal is a SAMD51-based microcontroller with a builtin display, various sensor buttons and a Raspberry Pi compatible GPIO.  This guide gives examples on using the built in features with Adafruits CircuitPython

This project was designed to take some of the chaos out of mornings by helping to organise everybody while getting ready in the mornings for work, school, collage, appointments and take some stress away from being told how little time you have left. This is a Clock that organises everybody's tasks to get them out the door on time. 

Track the International Space Station across the world using a WiFi enabled Pico RP2040 microcontroller.

Give your Raspberry Pi Pico a WiFi upgrade with the ESP32 WiFi co-processor and get connected with this CircuitPython setup guide. With an example of sending data with MQTT.

I have decided to try out a few i2c sensors with the Raspberry Pi Pico and see what the difference is to how I use them with a Raspberry Pi 4.

This little project is our home assistant. A Cat sitting on a Book with a  Raspberry Pi mounted inside. This contains sensors, lights, a display, google assistant, music player and network Storage.

The AS7262 is a  6 Channel Spectral Sensor by Pimoroni that can be programmed in Python.  This guide shows you how to setup the sensor on a Raspberry Pi and then how to use python to get the results.
