Detecting a higher voltage on a Raspberry PI pin In a Raspberry PI application I made recently I wanted to detect if a 24 volts circuit was powered. As you probably know the Raspberry PI pins can only handle […]
Raspberry Pi to netduino serial communication The Raspberry Pi and Netduino both got their strenghts, but what if they can talk to each other? I did a small proof of concept and got them to do […]
Fun with Raspberry PI, Node.js and websockets I recently did a cool proof of concept; a raspberry PI running Nodje.js with a PIR sensor that emits messages if there is movement, and a Node.js webserver that serves […]
Aplifying stuff with an non-inverting op-amp Just a quick reminder note. I needed to amplify a CV trig signal from my Eurorack system because the Roland SH-09 needed more than 7,5 volts. I did a little […]
