Jump in and enjoy our latest offering of tutorials and projects that will help you learn more about technology, programming, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and so much more.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install the Rclone software to your Raspberry Pi. Rclone allows you to clone files from the majority of cloud providers easily. You can even use the software to mount your cloud drives as if it was a locally connected disk.
This project will show you how to use Syncthing on your Raspberry Pi to synchronize files between multiple devices with ease. Syncthing allows you to replicate files to all of your other devices in real-time without relying on a 3rd party server to store the files.
In this guide, you will learn how to use zram on your Raspberry Pi. zram allows you to create a special swap disk that can sit on your RAM. When data is written to this disk, it is automatically compressed, and likewise, when read, it is automatically decompressed.
In this Raspberry Pi guide, we will show you how to use Log2RAM to improve your SD Cards lifespan. As the flash memory used in SD cards only has a finite amount of writes before it dies, it can be helpful to move your log files from the SD card to RAM.
In this guide, you will learn how to install Ubuntu to a VirtualBox virtual machine. VirtualBox is a virtualization software for x86 based operating systems such as Linux. Following this guide, you will be able to install Ubuntu on top of your existing OS.
Using chmod 777 is something that should always be avoided. Follow our guide to find out why and learn more about Linux permissions. This guide will also offer some alternatives you should try using instead of settings your permissions to 777 using chmod.
In this guide, you will be learning how to use NTP on your Linux device by using Chrony. Chrony is a newer take on the NTP that is designed to make synchronizing time more reliable even in areas where a network connection is intermittent.
In this guide, you will be learning how you can use the timedatectl command to control your Linux-based operating system’s time, date, and timezone. You can also use timedatectl to turn on automatic time synchronization using NTP.
With this straightforward guide, you will learn all about how strings are handled within the Python programming language. Learn how to define, format, and modify strings. Learning about strings is a critical part of any programming language.
In this Python tutorial, we will be walking you through the steps on how to use arrays. Throughout this guide, you will learn how to make use of the array module in Python to create and manipulate type constrained arrays.
Learn how to calculate series resistance in this easy to follow guide. We take you through an example of how to quickly calculate the total resistance with. There is also a calculator that you can make use of to verify your own calculations minimal effort.
In this guide, we go through all the basics of voltage dividers and anything else that you need to know about them. It’s a crucial part of electronic circuits that I highly recommend that you take the time to learn and understand.
This tutorial takes you through all the steps to connecting the APA102 RGB LED strip to the Arduino. We also guide you through the process of writing some code to be able to control the LED strip. It’s an excellent project if you love playing with lights.
Learn how to set up the ADXL345 accelerometer with the Arduino. It’s a cool sensor that will be handy in quite a few tutorials, especially ones where movement is involved. We make use of an Adafruit library, which makes this tutorial significantly easier.
