Raspberry Pi Helps create Digital Beer Board Keg

Raspberry PiThe beer packs a lot of vitamins minerals and fibers which are healthy for the brain. A Reddit user named Schrodinger Drunk has been drinking lots of it lately because he was able to create a digital board using Raspberry Pi attached to his home-brew tap list.

Google Donates through Raspberry Pi Foundation

Google and Raspberry Pi

Google Giving Fund, the charitable arm of Google will be donating with the assistance of Raspberry Pi Foundation. Google Executive chairman, Eric Schmidt and Pi inventor  Eben Upton were at  Chesterton Community College in Cambridge teaching the kids coding lessons when they announced that they will be giving  15000 Rasberry Pi Model Bs to students all over UK.

“We hope that our new partnership with Google will be a significant moment in the development of computing education in the UK,” said Upton.

“We believe that this can turn around the year on year decline in the numbers and skill sets of students applying to learn computer science at university.”

Arduino Movement Tracker

arduino movement trackerThe main idea of this simple DIY Arduino project is to be able to determine the amount of time you spend inside and outside of your own premises. The device can be attached on your waist all day without obstructing your regular daily activity. This device will record your location history all day long, with a detailed report of the time spent indoors or outdoors.

DIY Temperature and Humidity Sensor Using DHT11 and PIC microcontroller

Temperature And Humidity Project

Here is a cool project that we found on Hackalog.

As you all know there are many useful applications of temperature and relative humidity measurements sensors. They are readily that are available on the market consisting of both temperature and humidity sensors, signal conditioning, Analog to Digital Conversions (ADC), calibration and communication interface built in single module packages.

Low cost diode temperature sensor

 

If you need a temperature sensor but don’t have one at hand, here’s an easy way to create one, using a .. diode ! All what you have to do is to bias the diode with a current around 1 mA, and to measure it’s forward voltage drop.

The forward voltage of a silicon diode varies with about -2 mV / °C. So, basically the diode itself can be used as a temperature sensor. In order to have a good precision, you should perform a calibration by measuring the output voltage at a known temperature.
