Smart Kitchen Display #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Tom’s Hardware shares how this smart kitchen display is powered with a Raspberry Pi.
The kitchen is one place you might not expect a smart display — but with the right application, it’s actually quite useful. Today we’re sharing one created by maker and developer Stanislav Khromov who decided to build his own from scratch using a Raspberry Pi. The display is loaded up with cool dashboards and tools but you can always add more if you’d like.

Harry Potter Newspaper Powered by Raspberry Pi Zero #piday #raspberrypi
Inspired by the moveable pages of the Daily Prophet, Whitney Knitter set out to create her own PCB variant. The results are better than wizarding magic – the magic of open source! The custom Hackster Headlines uses a 2.9″ Flexible 296×128 Monochrome eInk / ePaper Display and a Pi Zero W.
See full details from Hackster.io:
I had recently been watching Harry Potter and the white white substrate with black text immediately made me think of a newspaper. And then I thought about how the eInk display could rotate a series of images to appear like they are moving similar to the magical newspapers at Hogwarts.
So off I went to go shopping on Adafruit’s website I went to see what eInk display options there were and what components I needed to drive it to put on my own custom Harry Potter Newspaper PCB!

Solar Camera Powered by Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi
Here’s a great project from Will Whang. During the pandemic, Whang made his own solar tracking camera, using a Raspberry Pi 4. Here’s more on the project from Hackaday:
[Will Whang’s Raspberry Pi solar photography setup] integrates a lot of cool stuff: multiple sensors, high bandwidth storage, and some serious hardware. This is no junk drawer build either, the current version uses a $2000 USD solar telescope (an LS60M with 200mm lens) and a commercial AZ-GTi mount.
He also moved up somewhat with the imaging devices from the Raspberry Pi camera module he started with to two imaging sensors of his own: the OneInchEye and the StarlightEye, both fully open source. These two sensors feed data into the Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module, which dumps the raw images into storage.

Pieca: A Raspberry Pi camera system for Leica M Mount lenses #RaspberryPi #Photography
The Tea and Tech Time blog presents a camera project which is a culmination of countless hours of learning to code in various languages, design 3D parts, print them successfully, build basic electronic circuits, use optical elements, and solve complex problems in general, resulting in the Pieca Camera System!
Based on the venerable Raspberry Pi4 and the High-Quality image sensor module it incorporates a 5-in touch screen with a live view and full manual controls. The camera uses the M mount system for attaching lenses. Allowing the camera to use a plethora of small manual lenses from Leica, 7Artisans, TTartisan, and other vintage lenses. The name is a play on the combination of Raspberry Pi and the Leica cameras because it was just too hard to pass up this pun…
I built a Bus Clock with a Raspberry Pi #RaspberryPi #Python @Raspberry_Pi
Purple Hoisin had a problem: missing public transportation by mere second, then having to wait for the next arrival. Rather than use a transport app, they created a bus clock to always see when to hurry up and get out to catch the bus.
Since I already had an unopened Raspberry Pi 3B that I ordered in 2016 (6 years ago!!) I decided it was now the perfect opportunity to start using it. I also needed a screen to display the times but I was a bit hesitant to buy it before the project even started, considering I bought the Raspberry Pi and never even touched it. But just like many times before, I told myself this time it would be different and I would take this project over the finish line so I went ahead and ordered a 4-inch, plug-and-play (mostly) HDMI display.
Fortunately, the Raspberry Pi runs a full Unix system and you can program it with whatever you want, unlike other simpler chips out there. On top of that, I didn’t have the patience to read a data sheet, program I/O pins or learn a chip-specific language – so I went with Python.
Once the Python environment was up and running, I had to somehow fetch the live bus data from TFL (Transport for London) and for that I decided to just scrape the local transport website using the good old requests package and BeautifulSoup4. The full code is available at github.com/purplehoisincoder/…/bus_time.py
