In this guide, I will take you through all the steps on how to shutdown a Raspberry Pi correctly. As you may have already noticed, there is no button to switch the Raspberry Pi on or off. Your first instinct is probably to pull the power cord, but this is highly not recommended. There are […] Read More
In this Raspberry Pi MAC address spoofing tutorial, we will be showing you how you can spoof the MAC Address of your Raspberry Pi’s network interfaces, either setting it to a known different MAC address or randomly generating it on the fly. This tutorial is split into two different sections. The first section shows you […] Read More
This tutorial goes through all the steps to getting started with Arduino Cayenne. It's an easy way to enable powerful IoT software for the Arduino. The software allows you quickly integrate sensors and more with very little coding. Read More
This tutorial goes through the steps to making your own Arduino web server. It's a straightforward process that covers the process of getting it up and running. I will also cover some core concepts such as using Ajax to update rather than refreshing the page over and over. Read More
In this Arduino LCD tutorial, I will take you through the steps to connecting a simple 16×2 LCD to the Arduino. This small screen is fantastic for displaying data from the Arduino itself. For example, the temperature or debug information. Read More
In this tutorial, we will look at how to set up the Arduino DS18b20 temperature sensor and anything else you need to know about it. We will take you through which libraries you need, how to code, and how to build the circuit. Read More
In this Arduino light sensor tutorial, I will go through the basics of setting up a photoresistor, so you can easily detect changes in light. You will only need a few pieces of equipment to complete this project, such as an LDR, resistors, and LEDs. Read More
In this tutorial, I will go through the steps to set up the Arduino serial monitor so you can debug and interact with a program running on the Arduino. To demonstrate the serial monitor, we will setup a simple circuit as well. Read More
In this tutorial, I build a simple Arduino battery tester. This project is perfect for anyone looking to check the capacity of almost any sort of battery. The battery is barebones but can easily be extended with some knowledge of Arduino and circuitry. Read More
In this tutorial, we will be building a simple Arduino motion sensor that uses a PIR sensor to detect motion. You can extend this project to activate lights, send notifications, or use a speaker. It is an excellent tutorial for familiarising yourself with sensors and Arduino. Read More
In this tutorial, we will make our very own Arduino dice circuit. This circuit is a simple project and is great for introducing yourself to more of the basics of Arduino. You will need some LEDs, resistors, and a button for this project. Read More
This tutorial will look at building an Arduino traffic light circuit. This project will use some code and a straightforward circuit involving three LEDs. It is the perfect project if you want to introduce yourself to the basics of Arduino. Read More
In this Raspberry Pi pressure pad tutorial, I will go through the steps of connecting a force sensitive resistor to the Pi. There are many uses for a pressure pad, such as detecting when someone sits down or places pressure on a specific part of an object. It is a pretty great sensor to make […] Read More
If you haven’t already heard, the Raspberry Pi foundation has just launched a Raspberry Pi TV HAT (Hardware Attached on Top). The TV HAT allows for the connection of an antenna to the Raspberry Pi. This allows for the Raspberry Pi to be able to receive DVB-T2 television broadcasts. Before this HAT you would typically […] Read More
In this guide, you will be learning how you can set up the popular NordVPN service on your Raspberry Pi. Routing your internet through NordVPN allows you to retain some anonymity on the internet without sacrificing speed. Read More
In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up your Raspberry Pi as a Chromium powered kiosk. Chromium is one of the best tools for converting a Pi to a kiosk thanks to its wide website support. Read More
In this Raspberry Pi NTFS guide, we will be showing you how you can add support for the NTFS file system to your Raspberry Pi. While the Linux Kernel has some NTFS support, it is strictly read-only access. This read-only means that we have to install a separate userspace driver to be able to write […] Read More
In this tutorial, we go through the steps of setting up Flightradar24 on the Raspberry Pi. By supplying your ADS-B data, you will get a business account for free, which is a huge saving if you use the Flightradar24 service a lot. Read More
In this Raspberry Pi Luakit tutorial, I take you through all the steps on how to install the Luakit browser. I assume you will be using Raspbian for this tutorial so if you’re running something else, then the steps might differ slightly. Luakit is a little different, so it may or may not take your […] Read More
In this tutorial, we take you through the steps to take screenshots on the Raspberry Pi. We use the scrot package, a screen capture software that easily takes screenshots. It is a command line tool, but you can easily hotkey it to a key on the keyboard. Read More
