Video: robots, motors, printers and more

[HomoFaciens]

...and finally I have received my Raspberry Pi. Here is what I have done with it so far:

More about the Rover shown at the end of the video will follow soon.

Have fun!

Update 1:
Now, my second video about the Raspberry Pi (and the Arduino Uno) is online:
English version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qumu2h8 ... 6fKBtBMXoQ

German version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgLm4ZXc ... 6fKBtBMXoQ

It's explaining in more detail what physical computing can do. It's made of more than 800 files with more than 17GB of data.

Additionaly I have overhauled the project page:

Enjoy!

Update 2:
I have built a tiny WLAN plotter:


Detailed instructions are available at:

I have captured the lunar eclipse with my Raspberry Pi camera:

Update 3:
Now, Curiosity Pi transmits a live video stream from my RoboSpatium:

Tell me if it works properly - thanks!

Absolutely amazing - how did no-one see this post beforehand!

The video deserves a front page link methinks! Very cool! Shame we don't have an upvote facility

Absolutely - without a doubt one of the best (and most inspiring) Raspberry Pi videos I have seen. Every Pi enthusiast (and every IT or technology teacher) should see this.

Wow! Absolutely brilliant. Agreed needs a front page mention, and good for promotional purposes too.

The praise you've received is very well deserved - fantastic video. Thanks for choosing the Creative Commons license as well.

There's a small translation error in the description, "03:45 Full HD video encoding" should be "03:45 Full HD video decoding"

Front page. Thank you VERY much for this. See http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1743 - and thanks again!

@HomoFaciens Do you have a diagram/instructions for your RPi interfaceboard as I would be very interested in looking/copying it

HomoFaciens: could you post some more details about your acrylic case? In the video I can't quite see how it's fixed together.

[simplesi]

could you post some more details about your acrylic case?

The Acrylic Case??? that's what you want to know more about from him???

Brilliant robots/machines/software and hardware and you want to talk to him about the case

Well he has articles and software for download on his site for most of the things shown

What was that one about giving a man a fish, or teaching him how...

[scep]

Having seen the other stuff that HomoFaciens has done, I suspect that he has made a sentient Pibot to nanoweld the case around itself, ship-in-a-bottle stylee.

[moving to projects where it belongs...]

Sell a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, you lose a valuable business opportunity.

[HomoFaciens]

...is correct now - thanks.

Not necessarily - you can deploy signs with "NO FISHING" all around the rivers - that's what licences and patents are for...
...and that's why my videos are creative commons!

I used commercially available nanobots called polystrene cement

Now that you have messed up my scheduling of the last two days I will reschedule the next few days and type some words about the board - be patient.

@all Thanks for voting!!!!

Front page. Thank you VERY much for this. See http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/1743 - and thanks again!

...you made the last two days a bit busy for me...
Now I can imagine what you and the people around the foundation must have undergone during the last year(s).

I thank all of you!

Well - I apologise

I only meant to catapult you into Superstar Status - next time - I won't bother

PS Love the polystyrene nano-bots - do you have a link to them on ebay

Thanks HomoFaciens, did you use the miller part to do the PI case ?.
