Win A Raspberry Pi Football!

Stuartsjones

For absolutely no reason whatsoever image we are giving away 10 of these Raspberry PiRaspberry Pi footballs (or soccer balls for you Americans/Australians) to our community members!

 

It's easy to enter. Just POST A COMMENT below about which Raspberry Pi projects you are working on now, or that you have planned for this summer and we will pick the top ten most creative and interesting ones to win one of these footballs modelled below by element14's Iro. You need to be a registered member to comment (only takes a few seconds to do this).

 

The competition will remain open until 9am UK time on June 23rd and the winners will be notified by private message so prizes can be sent out.

  • My 7 year old son and I are working on a robot that will sense where obstacles are, and try to avoid them.  We hope to also have it to be able to go from 2 inch ground clearance to 1/8 of an inch to be able to go in tight crawl space under house or ceiling attic spaces, to use in electrical or even search and rescue.

  • Cool,

    With this tiny computer I'm working on the fallowing things:

    - Raspberry pi laptop on a Motorola Lapdock

    - Learning security over kali linux OS for Raspberry Pi (specially wireless)

    - I'm also interested in a bridge between Raspberry Pi and Arduino, but I'm just starting to learn Arduino...

     

    Go soccer world CUP!

  • I am currently working on adding a raspberry pi to my combat robot.

    Battery Monitor: The Raspberry Pi will read the print out from a battery level monitor circuit and then will send the percentage to my laptop over a wireless internet connection. Using this ''Uh-oh'' Battery Charge Level Sensor - RobotShop I will change out the led with a low voltage relay. When the relay is closed it will let power through which I will have attached to the gpio and act as a switch.

    Motor Control: Using a homemade H bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia using MOSFET's (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) to control the motor systems over a wireless internet connection.

    FPV: I am going to use the Pi camera module as a First-person view (radio control) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia system, which will allow me to pilot my robot in battle much easier because I can see the opposing bot from my robots point of view.

    Control Program: With all this information being sent back to me, I will need meself a good interpreter. Python and C++ is what I want to use. It will be able to read potentiometers from a joystick and then convert it to pwm with the MOSFET's to control the motors and direction of travel. It will also give me the view of the camera on the middle of the screen. The battery level indicator will simply turn on a red light on screen that says battery.

    Overall my project will be very difficult and I feel as though earning a raspberry pi football for my idea would be a great reward.


    My robots name is Warp Drive if anyone cares.

  • a football playing robot of course, and I still need a ball.

  • I'm thinking of the RaspBerry Pi as an houesekeeper kombinend with an roboter platform. Favorite is an track vehicle, controlled bei an Arduino.
