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.

  • I am currently working on a remote controlled and hopefully autonomous lawn mower using Raspberry Pi. I am looking to stay small, using a couple of bots not just one large one. Further I will be using an automatic feed weed eater string instead of a blade to keep it much more on the safe said should it go wondering off on its own. I am going to try and use scratch to program a pattern to follow via a GPS module. I hacked a black and decker weed eater to get the motor, got a motor control board, and have it all wired up to the PI. I am working on the structure in terms of the platform to build it on. Eventually I hope to also have a charge unit or solar panels to charge the batteries when not in use, so a return to home, or charge station ( or trailer) wold be nice. The last feature I would like to deploy is a rain sensor, so that it will NOT mow if it is raining. Eventually, I envision a swarm of these, programed to do certain jobs on certain areas for large commercial applications but that is a few years off at this current time. While not mowing, I also see setting up goals on each end of my yard, and using a shiny new Raspberry Pi Football, I will deploy teams of these bots to challenge each other. Most likely one team will be painted orange, the others may change their colors but one team will remain orange. I will swap out the "mow cards" with the "Football" cards and let the games begin, but certainly only after the law is mowed.

  • I built a "working" mobile Star Trek tricorder with my Raspberry Pi. I gutted a tricorder toy and replaced its internals with an RPi, Adafruit display, and some batteries.

     

    Here is an early demo featuring an animation for the screen.

    Here's a shot of the final product with the bottom door open to show off the Raspberry Pi.

  • Hello!!! I want that ball!!!!!

    Im working on a project that makes the RPi work like an answerer, it takes the call at my home an offers an extension, and depending on the number clicked, the RPi calls our cellphones!! We wont loose any call image and for the future, it will call us by internet!! No cost!!

    (Sorry if bad english)

    Thaanks!!

  • I'm building a self-driving car using a child's electric Lamborghini + a Raspberry Pi! Here's a sneak peak of my first tests:

     

  • Greetings to all football/soccer fans!


    I am currently participating in Wireless Power Challenge and blogging there. My application will be to demonstrate a skin dermatology device suitable for skin pigmentation diagnostics and skin cancer screening. Such research grade device has been developed by my university colleagues

    It would be great to make such device open source that many people could reproduce. I find Raspberry Pi with a HD webcam, WiFi and multicolor LED illumination very suitable for this task.
