Record Audio with I2S on Raspberry Pi Pico
Recording audio on a Raspberry Pi Pico using the I2S protocol is simpler than you might think. This guide walks you through setting up the hardware, configuring the Pico, and writing the code needed to capture and process audio data effectively.

A Raspberry Pi, a small thermal printer, and a few Python files can turn digital messages into paper. This repository provides a practical starting point, with wiring documentation and active development, but its current README and source should be checked for exact hardware, power, and connection details.

Closed garden systems can leave useful hardware tied to one controller. Garden of Eden takes a different route: a Raspberry Pi runs local software, reads environmental sensors, connects garden hardware through GPIO, and feeds Home Assistant. It remains a work in progress, but offers a practical path toward inspectable, adaptable control.

A Raspberry Pi and 4-inch touchscreen present nearby aircraft and marine traffic as a compact radar-style display. The project pairs relative positions with map views, but the supplied repository excerpt does not confirm the Pi model, touchscreen connection, enclosure, receivers, APIs, or startup procedure, so those details need checking before building.

A red-and-white Poké Ball shell houses this custom Raspberry Pi gaming console. Designed for classic Pokémon and other retro games, the project pairs Fusion 360 enclosure work with Gen 1 Recomp software. Its photos show a themed handheld taking shape, while several hardware details still require confirmation.

A Raspberry Pi can serve as an AI brain while a PiDog supplies the legs, camera, microphone, speaker, and motors. This open-source project links both sides over HTTP, supports hosted or local language models, and adds face recognition, speech, movement, and Telegram control across a network.

Raw CAN frames rarely explain themselves. CanLab pairs a Raspberry Pi logger with a Python/PyQt6 desktop workstation that helps inspect traffic, test candidate signals, and export DBC files. Its suggestions are heuristic, so validation matters, and replay or injection belongs only on an isolated bench—not in a road vehicle.
