  • Insentricity :: Making a Raspberry Pi into an unified retro peripheral ::
    Notes
    If you've been following along here or on Twitter or Google+ you've no doubt seen the experimenting I've been doing with interfacing a Raspberry Pi in various ways with several retro computers like the Atari 800 and Commodore 64. My first project was using the Raspberry Pi to act as a converter for a USB gamepad to turn it into an Atari 2600 style joystick.

  • Cheap, overkill Amiga network adapter - blog.jmp.no
    Notes
    Since the Raspberry Pi was just sitting there, and the Amiga lacked (*) a network adapter - why not just connect the dots and get something up and running? I did, and it worked. Here's a quick writeup on what I did - if anyone's interested I can write a more detailed post with all the information I have.

  • Pibow Belt Base for Raspberry Pi by pburgess « adafruit industries blog
    Notes
    REQUIRES PIBOW CASE – this is ONLY a replacement bottom layer. Laser cut from 3mm (1/8″) acrylic. The belt is made from 1.5″ nylon webbing (better-equipped hardware, sewing or camping stores will stock this and related fittings), but it’s also perfectly suited to most camera straps if you have a DSLR + Raspberry Pi project in mind. The USB battery pack is an item from the Adafruit shop, held in place with cable ties.

  • Codebits: The Codebits Digital Signage Project (Part I)
    Notes
    We’ve been so busy we haven’t had time to do a proper write-up of this yet, but this year we decided to revamp the on-site displays (both overhead projections and LCDs). And given that 2012 is pretty much the year of the Raspberry Pi, we decided to have a go at it using these amazing little boxes – after all, they’re pretty much perfect for the job given that they have an HDMI output, an Ethernet port and more than enough smarts to run a browser and playback H.264 video.

  • The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
    Notes
    The SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a peripheral used to communicate between the AVR and other devices, like others AVRs, external EEPROMs, DACs, ADCs, etc. With this interface, you have one Master device which initiates and controls the communication, and one or more slaves who receive and transmit to the Master.

  • Wiring the Cobbler to the LCD | Drive a 16x2 LCD with the Raspberry Pi | Adafruit Learning System
    Notes
    Whenever you come across a LCD that looks like it has 16 connectors it is most likely using a HD44780 controller. These devices provide the same pinouts making them relatively easy to work with. The LCD uses a parallel interface meaning that we will need many pins from our raspberry pi to control it. In this tutorial we will use 4 data pins (4-bit mode) and two control pins.

  • 3-Wire Serial LCD using a Shift Register
    Notes
    HD44780 based character LCDs require at least 6 I/O lines from microcontroller to display data. Therefore, they are not suitable for low-pin microcontrollers like PIC12F series microchips. In this project, I am going to show how to drive an HD44780 based LCD display with only 3 pins of a microcontroller. I am going to demonstrate it with PIC12F683 microchip. The character data and command from the microcontroller is transferred serially to a shift register (74HC595), and the parallel output from the shift register is fed to LCD pins.

    Adding a LCD to any project immediately kicks it up a notch. This tutorial explains how to connect a inexpensive HDD44780 compatible LCD to the raspberry pi using 6 GPIOs. While there are other ways to connect using I2C or the UART this is the most direct method that get right down to the bare metal.

    Notes
    The three models (all of which we use here at Digital Diner) are the Arduino, Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone. We chose these three because they are all readily available, affordable, about the same size (just larger than 2″ x 3″) and can all be used for creating wonderful digital gadgets. Before we get to the comparison, here is a brief introduction to each one.

    WebIOPi is a REST framework and a webapp which allows you to control your Raspberry Pi's GPIO. Just install it on your Pi, and use any browser from your network. It's useful to start enjoying GPIOs and also to debug some circuits without writing any line of code. It also allows to control your Pi's GPIOs over Internet, so it's a good starting point for home remote control.

    While the Raspberry Pi packs and awful lot of punch for the price, and it's fairly flexible where HW expandability is concerned, there are situations where you might want a bit more basic digital IO. Thankfully, it's an easy problem to solve with an I2C-enabled device like the MCP23008 (for an extra 8 GPIO pins) or the MCP23017 (for an extra 16 GPIO pins). This tutorial will show you how you can get up and running quickly with either of these chips.
