Using sound to detect distance is pretty standard tech, but it always helps to make it easier. This official Raspberry Pi project uses an ultrasonic distance sensor – something you mostly find on robots – to create a theremin sound as you move your hand through it. Raspberry Pi music fingersĪs well as being a lot of fun, this is a neat little conductivity experiment so you know how capacitive touch works. Boasting a 64-bit quad-core processor, it offers up to 40 improved performance compared to the Raspberry Pi Zero. At the end of 2021, the long-awaited successor of the Raspberry Pi Zero was launched the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Volumio is designed to play and stream music, and while Volumio will work with any of the Raspberry Pi boards (and several other SBCs as well), it’s an ideal project for the Raspberry Pi Zero. Using a light tripwire to sense where you are, (carefully) dancing up and down these stairs should help with your scales and arpeggios. The Raspberry Pi Zero is a popular single-board computer that is ideal for all limited space projects.

This is a 1970 Flirt radio that upcycling maestro Martin Mander has turned into a Raspberry Pi-powered internet radio, without sacrificing much of its wonderful aesthetics. In addition, the Raspberry Pi Shop Pimoroni made an attachment for the Model B (from version B +) and the Raspberry Pi Zero and calls this unicorn pHAT. The WS2812 NeoPixel LEDs are also used in many other projects (mainly designed for Arduino), so you can certainly port some of them. What’s the deal with theme tunes, anyway? Flirt Pi The pHAT is available for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and Zero. Play your own theme tuneįeel like a sitcom character and have some slapping bass tunes play as you walk through the door. Insert your flash drive, open up a terminal window, change directory to the USB drives folder where the video is and type omxplayer video. We love the meta idea of how this has been repurposed. If you really want to go lightweight, just use the built-in omxplayerapplication shipping with Raspbian Jessie. Martin Mander made this with the AIY Projects kit that came with The MagPi #57.

It plays all media contained in a USB key, fetched from a network share, from a Web/FTP server, from a folder of your Dropbox account and loaded via scp as well. Want to listen to one song, and one song only? Close a contact on this Raspberry Pi project for just that. Raspberry Slideshow is focused on quick-to-set-up image and video slideshows for the Raspberry Pi microcomputer lineup. It doesn’t have an old-fashioned news bulletin voice, but it’s the spirit that counts. This radio reads out your notifications from a variety of services. Sometimes it’s more dramatic to wave the music away – just like with the Wavepad. Bryston’s new Raspberry Pi-based BDP- digital music player costs a hefty 1,295.

the script just plays a random video file from a directory, so you could play any show (or shows) you want.

Bryston has launched a high-end, compact BDP- digital music player built on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian, plus a HifiBerry Digi+ audio HAT add-on. Build a Raspberry Pi-Powered Media Player That Plays a Simpsons Episode at Random. We like yelling at our digital home assistant thing to skip the track it’s currently playing. High-end music player has a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian inside.
