Adafruit raspberry 10th birthday blog

The little board that could has come a long way over the past decade. Staying true to its origins as an inexpensive device for teaching computer science, the Pi has evolved into a capable computer loved by hobbyist, makers and educators.

Every iteration brings more to the table. From the radically affordable Pi Zeros to the fully kitted Raspberry Pi 400, there is something for everyone.

Happy 10th Birthday Raspberry Pi! We can’t wait to see what the next decade brings!!

You can check back with the Adafruit blog later today where we will be sharing some of our favorite Raspberry Pi blog posts and Learn Guides from throughout the year!

Supply chain issues are still a factor but check out Raspberry Pi in the store and our Shopping Guide!




3D Print an Entire Foosball Table!

OK, so you do have to cut and assemble a wooden table, and the control rods, but otherwise, the foosballers, grips, goals, rod holders, and most of the rest of the table are 3D printed.

J.G. Heck’s Iconographic Encyclopædia Restored and Reimagined

It’s hard to resist exquisitely organized drawings of plants and minerals. Can’t wait to see what I find while browsing clickable drawings on Iconographic Encyclopædia, via flowing data:

Scans of the original plates and English translation are available on the Internet Archive: plates (vol. 1, vol. 2), descriptions (vol. 1, vol. 2, vol. 3, vol. 4).

These scans were restored and integrated with the original descriptions to create a reimagined modern edition of the Iconographic Encylopædia. Ten primary subjects were originally compiled, which were later divided into eighteen subjects for the English translation

#3DPrinted Bokeh Filter Holder

Penguinmaster2001 mashed up a bokeh filter holder and a 52mm lens filter thread and put the results on thingiverse:

Use the bokeh filters from the “Bokeh Filter With Some Covers” by MrEsuba thing that I remixed.

I made some of my own bokeh filters using Inkscape and Blender, I might add more in the future.

I used matte black filament to prevent weird light reflections.

Fake Window Live Stream #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

6zaff6iug1j81

U/snicker1633 posted this clever project over on reddit. To make up for lack of real windows, they made this digital one. Great maker ingenuity but I think I’d still prefer a real window (although both would great). One commenter summed it up “This is both cool and depressing.”

My office has no windows. Thanks to a Wyze Cam v3 (RTSP firmware) and a Raspberry Pi (omxplayer), I’ve created a false window to live stream my front yard.

Retro-Gaming with PALPI V2 @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Here’s a great retro gaming project that runs on Raspberry Pi. Here’s more from Arnov Sharma via hackster.io:

The goal for making this project was to make a low-cost game console like a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck that can run most retro games…Old DOOM, WOLFENSTEIN, Pokemon Games Etc.

This console has more than 40 games preloaded on it. also, we can add any game on this console. for example, I’ve loaded dragon ball advance adventure on this game console through WINSCP or by manually transferring ROM File on the memory card. (will explain more about this process later in the post).

See project!

DogOnMat – Train your dog with AI and Positive Reinforcement @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Here’s a fun project from Joerg Schultz that will help train your pooch! Here’s more via hackster.io:

How can I train my dog to stay on its mat, even when I am not in the same room? Typical feeders can treat after a given time, but they don’t know whether the dog is still on its mat or left to go somewhere else (like excitedly greeting a scared visitor :-). Here, I address this challenge using Machine Learning based Image classification. I (transfer) trained a neural network using Edge Impulse to distinguish an image of a dog on a mat from one with an empty mat…. I deployed the model on a Rasberry Pi. Finally I connected the RasPi via BueTooth to an Android App, which then can trigger a feeder. Now my dog is reinforced for staying on its mat and reinforcement stops when he leaves. All without me being present. On the long run system like this can address typical behaviuor problems like reacting to the door bell, over-exitedly greeting visitors or barking at passer-bys relying completely on positive reinforcement.

See project!

The RangePi made easier to connect LoRa network @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Handy post from Kamal Khan up on Hackster.io.

You may not be acquainted with LoRa, but you are probably familiar with the Internet of Things, and LoRa is set to alter the IoT. It’s a wireless technology that’s used for automatic metre reading, smart parking, and livestock tracking, among other things. Its capacity to transport packets across vast distances without consuming a lot of power is what makes it so popular. As a result, it’s great for delivering little quantities of data to far-flung devices. However, there is a catch, and the hitch with LoRa is that setting up these devices is difficult. With the RangePi, we tried to make things easier.

Heart Skull Hairpins #3DThursday #3DPrinting

yoshiodoom shares:

These are designed to be used the same way as the skull hairpin.
I wanted something cuter and less severe for my wife to wear.

I also designed a sword to be used with these. If you hair is thick you can use the sword as it is.
If you have thinner hair I would thicken the hairpin by 50%. The three skulls are long, medium, and short. The shortest one has bigger eyes to maximize how cute it is. It’s the one in the photo and it’s labeled Heart_Hair_shortbig_eye.stl

Print at >20% infill,
Make sure to support it well. I set the support angle in cura to 0 degrees 90 in prusa.

Noir Queen – Maz’s Flower Ring Boxes #3DThursday #3DPrinting

MazAndAttero shares:

This is a collection of the flower ring boxes I designed back in 2019. I 3D printed a few of the versions but only took photos of the v3 ring box. I think I shared some of these on my Instagram page at one point. The Noir Queen version is the last one that I made. My main gripe about this version is how I left the faces from the other petals sticking through the outside of the flower. All in all though I still think these are really pretty flowers and think other people might like them too.

SRS, the Silk Road Songbook #ArtTuesday

SRS is a collaboration between Millie Chen and Arzu Ozkal featuring community musicians, via hyperallergic:

SRS is a socially charged, interdisciplinary art project that integrates songs with landscapes. It is intended to facilitate the creation of songs that voice local concerns about land, sovereignty, and cultural identity. For the project locations, we are re-tracing one of the major arteries of the ancient Eurasian trade routes between Istanbul (Constantinople, western terminus from the 4th century on), West and Central Asia, and Xi’an (Chang’an, eastern terminus and China’s imperial capital). These places are part of the misleadingly and reductively named “Silk Road”; we deliberately use this term for our project title in order to challenge its cliché associations with Orientalist exoticism and fantasy tourism. Arzu is from the western end of the artery; Millie’s family is from the eastern end.

Learn more about the Silk Road Songbook and see more from Millie Chen and Arzu Ozkal. You can catch Songs of a Futile Journey: Silk Road Songbook Songmingyan at OCAT Xi’an through March 27

Knitted Coral and Marine Ecosystems #ArtTuesday

In Indonesian artist Mulyana’s Fragile Ecologies, coral, algae, and undersea creatures are recreated in knit form. two figures cloaked in coral and algae tower over beds of fiber-based sea creatures. Here’s more from the artist’s site:

Fragile Ecologies, the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. Known for his whimsical knit and crocheted Mogus characters and his dazzling underwater landscapes, Mulyana’s latest exhibition Fragile Ecologies, features two life-size, hand-knit and crocheted costumes and a series of sumptuously knit coral islands in the main room of the gallery. As the viewer enters the gallery they encounter multi-colored coral islands and suspended Mogus figures representative of his oeuvre, as well as being treated to a video introducing us to new vibrant costumes on moving figures, that are filmed on location in the beautiful Indonesian landscape.

On a macro level, Mulyana’s profound concern for the eroding environment and our collective lack of care for the natural world, parallels the importance of self-care on a micro level. His message encourages a holistic path to self-preservation amidst a chaotic and uncertain post-pandemic world. While Mulyana does not overtly reference gender and sexuality in his intricate installations, the diversity of his colorful environments and spectacular costumes allude to the fluidity of human identity. His commitment to promoting shared values emanates from his spiritual understanding of human dignity, an outlook that honors the totality of creation. By constructing elaborate, magical worlds, Mulyana hopes to ignite our collective imagination to cherish creation and reveal the beauty inside each of us.

H.R. Giger Exhibition in NYC #ArtTuesday

At the intersection of art, speculative fiction, and the darker dreams of the mind lives the work of H.R. Giger,. Even if you don’t know his name, you’ve probably seen his work. Giger contributed the design for the alien in Alien, and it is to Giger’s imagination that the movie owes much of its ability get its hooks deep into the human psyche. And if you think the design of the alien in Alien is intense, wait till you see the rest of his body of work. Here’s more from Lomax Gallery:

Hans Ruedi Giger (1940 – 2014) was a Swiss Surrealist artist whose work had an indelible effect on the popular imagination of the last half century. Resonating far beyond even his iconic work for Ridley’s Scott film Alien, for which he won an Academy Award in 1979, his work had incredible influence on now-historical projections of the future in cinema, video games, animation, popular music and television, as well as across the landscape of contemporary art. His strange surrealist vistas, where bodies and machines meet in violent erotic communion, delineated an existence dominated by nightmarish technology–a vision which continues to exert its dark power on the aesthetics of the new throughout contemporary culture.

Long fascinated with New York as both as an idea and as a place of exhibition, Giger made many visits to New York and the city’s landscape was a continuous source of inspiration to him throughout his career. Evident in his work even from the age of 18, New York’s skyline became the basis for a terrifying mythological world of technical and occult majesty, a negative utopia that expressed itself as a philosophical inverse of the sublime. His iconic “New York City” series, displayed at the Hansen galleries on 57th street in 1980, intermingled figures drawn from his own occult mythos with a claustrophobic futurist steel skyline. The NY paintings, made in airbrush without preparatory sketches, in their extraordinary precision appear at times almost as otherworldly photographs, and are landmarks of technical innovation with a method completely of Giger’s own devising. This body of work was the subject of an artist book published in 1981 by Ugly Publishing Zurich—Giger’s own pseudonymous publishing house—with a preface by Timothy Leary, which is now being republished by KALEIDOSCOPE on the occasion of this exhibition.

The Japanese artist…has spent the last decade reimaging life-sized objects like pencil sharpeners, sponges, and slippers as tiny sets for his cast of characters: a “P” key rests on a painter’s easel, bobsledders barrel through a bowl on a hot pepper, and ice skaters race across a white surgical mask.

Released daily as part of his ongoing Miniature Calendar project, the works often correspond with current events and cultural moments, including Tanaka’s recent scenarios referencing the Winter Olympic Games. “The theme of my work is ‘mitate’… to replace something around us with something similar or that looks like it. It is important to use something that everyone knows as a motif for my work,” he writes.

Slider knobs for linear potentiometers.

This is a remix from a different knob (adjusted sizing so that it fit correctly), but I can’t find the original anymore. If someone spots it let me know!

Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

Beautiful Walnut 3 Screen Computer Build #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Ogu59agkv4i81

A reddit user wanted to get their son into science so they built this immaculate setup with multiple screens, keyboards and Pis. This is reminiscent of the future we were promised in the 70’s.

From u/mw33212 on Reddit:

This was a challenge for me; both the case and the various screens and setup. Hoping to get the young lad interested in science and the way things work. 10mm walnut used for the case with some maple and Indian rosewood inlays and surrounds. For those interested in the technology; raspberry pi 4 running the main screen with two pi zero2 units running each of the side screens. Main system is using Endless OS which looks very good for kids and works well offline. The two smaller screens show live weather on one, the other streams the live video from the International Space Station. All screens are touch screen which helps with the interface. Full credit to u/ericisawesome for his software and build on the Weather app. Calculator was a kit purchased online, takes power from one of the Pi Zero w boards. Enjoyable build overall with a lot of frustrations getting the systems all to work. Hand tools and a drill for the woodworking.
