With your camera and a Raspberry Pi, you can now detect and identify objects in real time. I’ve built several object detection projects using the Raspberry Pi, and in this post, I’ll share some practical ideas you can start building yourself. Many object identification projects are realistically achievable with a Raspberry Pi camera. They range…
The first time I tried object detection with the Raspberry Pi was when I was working on a line-following robot some years back. The logic was simple: follow the white line, and if you come across an object, pick it and put it aside. With the rise of AI, the Raspberry Pi can now do…
If you’re still trying to figure out what the Raspberry Pi AI Kit is actually good for (or whether it’s worth getting one), you’re not the only one. I’ve been wondering the same, so I looked into the kinds of projects people are building with it. Here are 10 ideas to get a better sense…
I learned this the hard way. After frying a Raspberry Pi 4B and even a Pico recently, I realized these tiny boards are tougher than they look, but not indestructible. If you use a Pi like I do, here are 7 mistakes you should avoid before you accidentally turn your board into an expensive paperweight….
You just received your first Raspberry Pi board, and perhaps it’s your first time interacting with one so closely. I know the experience might be a little scary, and that’s why I have created this guide for you. This is a 3-day master plan to help you get started with the Raspberry Pi as a…
I’ve been using the Raspberry Pi professionally for nearly six years, and over that time, I’ve encountered just about every problem imaginable. From boards that refuse to boot to mysterious network issues, many of the same frustrations tend to recur. In this article, I’ll walk through the most common Raspberry Pi problems I’ve personally encountered,…
Whenever I discuss hardware projects with other developers, I hear the same excuse: “Raspberry Pi projects take too much time and require a lot of hardware.” But that’s not entirely true, and that’s exactly why I’m writing this article. I’ll show you some Raspberry Pi projects you can build in under an hour, some of…
I’ve always loved the idea of hosting my own website at home, but messing with router settings and exposing my IP? No thanks. That’s why I gave Cloudflare Tunnel a shot with my Raspberry Pi. Honestly, it’s way easier and safer than I expected. Let me show you how it works! A website can be…
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…
