In her small white farmhouse in Granby, Massachusetts, Abbie E. C. Lathrop bred a variety of small animals: ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and, most notably, mice. In 1902, her mice became the first to be used in a lab for genetic research—and some still are today.
Not a trained scientist, Lathrop is often cast as a mere footnote in the history of cancer research, portrayed as an eccentric hobbyist who was oddly attracted to mice. But a closer look shows that she was a savvy business woman turned self-made scientist, whose careful and methodical mouse breeding helped advance modern cancer research and create a standard organism of science. Moreover, she published scientific papers on mice and cancer inheritance that set the stage for future cancer research.

I do like a nice music-and-tech project and this one is pretty special. Called the Nsynth, this tablet-with-controls device is powered by a Raspberry Pi and accepts MIDI inputs which it then feeds through an openFrameworks app. The MIDI samples are then processed using the app according to whatever the user does with the controls. It uses “machine learning” to work out how to process the sounds using samples from Google. This is an open-source project from Magenta, a research group within Google, and all the files are available on GitHub.

This project will make a button switch that will both boot up and shutdown a Raspberry Pi and will light an LED while the RPi is operational. Great for headless setups. I created it to augment a Raspberry Pi Baby monitor, because of the concern with using a camera in a shared room.
My example is on a Raspberry Pi Zero, but it will work on any Raspberry Pi.
The button switch is just Pin 5(GPIO3) and 6(GND) connected together. I added a .01uf capacitor because it would signal the GPIO without hitting the button especially when I discharged static electricity nearby. Works reliably with the capacitor.
The LED is hooked to ground with a 330 Ohm resistor and is powered by the TXD (Pin 8). It needs serial console enabled to Light up. My circuit board pictured is a little different from this guide because I was in the process of adding some IR LEDs to my project.

Gobot is a framework for robots, drones, and the Internet of Things (IoT), written in the Go programming language. It provides a simple, yet powerful way to create solutions that incorporate multiple, different hardware devices at the same time.
Max Kern has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a camera module and some power circuitry and sensors and created a first-person viewpoint wheeled security drone, the ZeroBot Pro, an upgrade from the previous ZeroBot (without the Pro!). The software UI has been created using Node.js and Socket.io and the motors are controlled using PWM through the pigpio library. The hardware is packed inside a delightful 3D-printed chassis and he has open-sourced the whole design.

Last year I bought an EEG headset (the Mindwave Mobile) to play with my Raspberry Pi and then ended up putting it down for a while. Luckily, this semester I started doing some more machine learning and decided to try it back out. I thought it might be possible to have it recognize when you dislike music and then switch the song on Pandora for you. This would be great for when you are working on something or moving around away from your computer.
So using the EEG headset, a Raspberry Pi, and a bluetooth module, I set to work on recording some data. I listened to a couple songs I liked and then a couple songs I didn’t like with labeled data. The Mindwave gives you the delta, theta, high alpha, low alpha, high beta, low beta, high gamma, and mid gamma brainwaves. It also approximates your attention level and meditation level using the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and gives you a skin contact signal level (with 0 being the best and 200 being the worst).
Since I know very little about brainwaves, I can’t make an educated decision on what changes to look at to detect this; that’s where machine learning comes in. I can use Bayesian Estimation to construct two multivariate Gaussian models, one that represents good music and one that represents bad music.

We love seeing classic tradeshows come into the 21st century with the aid of interactive electronics! We’d also love to see a bit more of the guts and code/process for how this project operates (Learn Guide anyone?!) – the different colored light strips look great even from afar – but for now this is still a good story:
Recently we were asked to come up with a creative, interactive, and eye catching electronic element for Coastal Community Credit Union ‘s new trade show booth. The project became one of the most entertaining we have done in a while – a touch screen trivia game featuring CCCU trivia and a roughly 6’ RGB LED display in the shape of Vancouver Island.
The island itself was crafted by our next door neighbours, Industrial Plastics & Paints Nanaimo, with a trough specifically designed to accept Adafruit Industries new 90 LED / meter side mount NeoPixles. The result is nearly 1000 NeoPixels contoured to the shape of our beloved Vancouver Island coastline. The NeoPixel Vancouver Island cycles through several colour patterns that represent coastal forests, oceans, and CCCU’s logo colours. On top of that it also indicates correct or incorrect answers when playing the Raspberry Pi based trivia game.
Big thanks to Coastal Community Credit Union for involving us in the project!

With the Greenland shark finally caught on video for the very first time, scientists and engineers are discussing the limitations of current marine monitoring technology. One significant advance comes from the CSAIL team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): SoFi, the robotic fish.
Last week, the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) team at MIT unveiled SoFi, “a soft robotic fish that can independently swim alongside real fish in the ocean.”
Directed by a Super Nintendo controller and acoustic signals, SoFi can dive untethered to a maximum of 18 feet for a total of 40 minutes. A Raspberry Pireceives input from the controller and amplifies the ultrasound signals for SoFi via a HiFiBerry. The controller, Raspberry Pi, and HiFiBerry are sealed within a waterproof, cast-moulded silicone membrane filled with non-conductive mineral oil, allowing for underwater equalisation.

We’re lucky enough to have two teenage boys in the house. One of them lurks in the gloom of his bedroom listening to loud, raucous music and doing god knows what on his computer until he can be lured out by offers of food. But sometimes the music is so loud, or the headphones so firmly clamped that he doesn’t hear the call of “Tea time!!!” wafting up the stairs. I could go up to his room to get him, but this is the 21st century and there has to be a better way.
That better way is the Tea Time Klaxon.
Now I just need to send a tweet featuring the secret hashtag to trigger flashing lights and a buzzer to alert the eldest that tea is ready.
Actually, I’ve wanted to find an excuse to make something with one of these LED towers for ages, because they just look so cool, and recently they’ve been discounted at Pimoroni which gave me a good excuse to get one. The tower needs 12v DC so you can’t drive it directly from a Raspberry Pi. Instead I bought a power supply from Amazon – this one, I think and a Pimoroni Automation pHat to handle the switching.

For those moments when you wish the cast of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast was real, only to realise what a nightmare that would be, here’s Paul-Louis Ageneau’s robotic teapot!
It’s the classic story of guy meets digital killer teapot, digital killer teapot inspires him to 3D print his own. Loosely based on a boss level of the video game Alice: Madness Returns, Paul-Louis’s creation is a one-eyed walking teapot robot with a (possible) thirst for blood.
“My new robot is based on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with a camera.” Paul-Louis explains in his blog. “It is connected via a serial link to an Arduino Pro Mini board, which drives servos.”
Each leg has two points of articulation, one for the knee and one for the ankle. In order to move each of the joints, the teapot uses eight servo motor in total.
Paul-Louis designed and 3D printed the body of the teapot to fit the components needed. So if you’re considering this build as a means of acquiring tea on your laziest of days, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the most you’ll get from your pour will be jumper leads and Pi.

Excellent project + write up from Michael Horne up on his blog Raspberry Pi Pod.
I recently posted a tutorial on using an HD44780 LCD (with I2C backpack) with the Raspberry Pi. I mentioned at the time that I had also been looking at small enclosures for the Pi in the hope of making something. Well, in a few hours of spare time I had in between bouts of Pi Wars admin, I dug out my soldering iron, rotary tool and various other oddments and made something I’m calling palmPi.

As part of element14’s RoadTest program, I recently got to review Texas Instruments’ DLP LightCrafter Display 2000 pico projector for BeagleBone Black. After finishing the review, I wasn’t satisfied with the performance of the BeagleBone Black, and decided to swap it out in favour of a Raspberry Pi 3B+.
Credits go to Philip Hodgers, whose post I found on TI’s E2E forum, for figuring out the wiring and config parameters to get the projector to work via the Pi’s DPI interface.

This is a charger I have created for my small bluetooth controlled track loader.
This makes it possible to charge the track loader with a standard phone charger that uses micro usb plug.
It also enables you to check the cell voltage of the battery inside the track loader. When no usb cable is connected it displays the actual cell voltage. When a usb cable is connected it display charging voltage.
Through the 2 small holes in the bottom you can check if its still charging or its done.

This is a simple pen holder mod designed to be attached by screw or ca glue next to the thumb in an E-nable Phoenix hand or Unlimbited Arm. It is angled and positioned so the thumb and index finger support it like a hand would (see photos for placement). It’s based on the Book Cover Pen Holder by AtomKemp.
We made this as a request from Mr. Wichit a man in Thailand who lost his arm below the elbow and for many years would strap a pen to his stump to write. Now as part of the Thai Reach Sirindhorn Hospital Sai Jai Thai project to help Veterans with limb disabilities we are making him an Unlimbited Arm with the mod attached.
This very much a work in progress and we are planing to improve this so it has more functionality and more adjustable. This Wichit edition fits most pen sizes and works better on adult sized hands.
