raspberry pi

I recently made myself a Pocket PiGRRL based on Adafruit’s tutorial - it really is a great machine and a brilliant learning experience.

After creating the PiAware Flight Indicator LED I was keen to see what else I could do with the aircraft data my PiAware setup was retrieving for me.

I’ve been using the PiAware software to track aircraft flying near me and I liked the idea of turning an LED on when a plane was overhead (or at least near by!).

I have been using Piaware for a couple of weeks and I like the idea of being able to read the signals from aircraft just using simple equipment.

For a project I am working on I needed a really quick way of reading the Raspberry Pi’s CPU temperature, most of the solutions I found ran the command line

I recently made Snake for the Astro Pi, just for fun really, but I am putting it online as I would like to see what others can do with it - it is literally screaming out to be hacked and improved.

I have created what I think is a fun way to explore your new Astro Pi - its an interactive Astro Pi in Minecraft.
