I put together a simple program that monitors our Kickstarter, and then celebrates each time we receive a new backer. Definitely a fun way to be notified of more support! And in case you missed it, check out how I solved my doorbell problems last week! Brian
We are back in NY after a long weekend in California for the Bay Area Maker Faire, where we showed off the PiSoC to hundreds of makers! It was an awesome experience and we got tons of great feedback. People just couldn’t get enough of flappy bird! Some people even figured out how to hack […]
I have been hard at work getting the face tracking system ported over to the Raspberry Pi 2 in an organized fashion, and I am definitely just about there. Here is a teaser video showing off the simplest working version. I even put forth the initial efforts towards a full fledged C++ API! I now have […]
I wanted to share the creation of our Scratch game in a little more detail: The fact that scratch lets you customize the art and sounds of the programs you make adds so much to the experience. Can’t wait to let more people try it!
Since the release of the Raspberry Pi 2 I’ve been meaning to take a new look at the face tracking system to see if that quad-core processor can squeeze out a few extra frames per second. So with just a little grinding away I am proud to present the new and improved face tracker (at least the […]
Hey guys, this is Arlen, the newest member of the Embedit team. I’ve come on board both to assist with some software development type stuff, and to explore the capabilities of the PiSoC by building any projects that happen to tickle my fancy. Here’s a quick demo of my first project, scrolling text on the the […]
Hi Everyone! We’ve been hinting at it for awhile, and have had tons of people asking for when the board will be available, so we are happy to finally announce our plans. We plan to launch a new Kickstarter in the next few weeks, with a focus on being able to create and tinker with […]
Recently we have been working with Smartkids to bring the RPiSoC into the classroom. Last week we ran our first trial run at Glenmont Elementary school with over 60 3rd graders. A quick summary from the school district can be found here: http://www.bethlehemschools.org/3rd-grade-students-dabble-code/ These demos made use of Scratch on Raspberry Pi and Windows. Kids learned how […]
Scratch is a visual programming language that lets people of all ages unleash their creativity, no programming experience needed! You simply drag and snap blocks to create your program. With the RPiSoC, physical computing is now thrown into the mix. Controlling LED lights, motors, cameras, touch sensors, and more is now as easy to use […]
Haven’t had a chance to post an update here recently, but we’ve still been hard at work with development! So here is my opportunity to show some of those technical developments off. A few weeks ago I made this video to show off the newest feature to our Python and Scratch interfaces- capacitive sensing! Well […]
