The first time I used a voice assistant was with the Amazon Echo, which had Alexa built in. It could play music, give weather updates, and even control a few smart devices. Over the years, voice assistants have become much smarter and more accessible. In this post, I’ll show you how to create your own voice assistant…
I’ve worked on tons of IoT projects, and every time we need a microcontroller, the same debate comes up: Raspberry Pi Pico or Arduino? In this article, I’ll break down the key differences and share what I’ve learned from using both. The Raspberry Pi Pico and Arduino are both affordable microcontrollers, but they differ in…
Recently, I have been wondering if there are ways to generate extra passive income with my Raspberry Pi. I came across various methods, but I settled on one that wouldn’t require much of my time. In this post, I’ll show you how to give it a try yourself using EarnApp. Installing EarnApp on a Raspberry…
If we ran a poll today, Python, C, and C++ would probably top the list of Raspberry Pi languages. But I recently came across another one. Although it’s not as well-known, it has serious potential, especially if you want speed and performance in your projects. Rust combines the speed of C/C++, the safety of modern…
I have been using my Raspberry Pi for many projects, and this time I decided to try out a project that involved AI. I have been using ChatGPT since it came out, and I felt it’s time I developed a tool that would consume one of its many APIs. After analyzing different projects, I decided…
The first time I heard of the Raspberry Pi, it was mainly because of the legendary phrase “$35 computer.” And sure, that was true, for a while. But if you tried buying one during the COVID period, you probably saw prices soar way past that mark. And that brings us to one main question: how…
When I got my first Raspberry Pi, I had no idea what I was getting into. Despite having a solid background in software development, I’d never worked with a card-sized computer like this before. If I were starting my journey with the Raspberry Pi for the first time today, there are a few things I…
Have you ever wondered if your 3D printer could be faster, more precise, smarter, or just much better? Well, that was me before I discovered Klipper. Even though the OEM firmware that comes with your 3D printer can get the job done, Klipper takes things to a whole new level. In this guide, I’ll walk…
It’s remarkable how one clever project can put an entire device on the map. No one expected a credit-card-sized computer to gain the popularity that the Raspberry Pi did. But once creations like RetroPie and the Magic Mirror started making waves, people saw its true potential. These viral projects kicked off a maker revolution. Let…
I often worry about what might happen if a drive fails when storing important files on my Raspberry Pi as a home server, media center, or personal project. One crash and poof, all my data is gone. But what if there were a way to protect your data so that, even if one drive fails,…
