Raspberry Pi Geek 13

When you first start building, you probably learn how to use one device and one programming language. Then comes the day you design a project that your toolset either can't solve or forces you to jump through too many hoops to get the outcome you desire. That's the day you start looking at new devices and languages to solve your problem. Having an arsenal of tools at your disposal makes solving problems easier.

The Pi Wire looks at new products, education, boards, and ways people are putting the Rasp Pi to work.

It's easy to run out of analog pins on your Arduino far too soon when you are working on a project. Add a multiplexer or two, though, and you're back in business.

Nanocomputers don't just come with ARM processors; they also come with classic x86 CPUs, and the best known of these are the boards from the Intel NUC series. We look at how these computers compare with the Raspberry Pi.

Overclocking the Raspberry Pi CPU improves performance when running the OpenELEC media center.

Minecraft has millions of devoted fans worldwide, and players who organize a communal game with friends and acquaintances achieve an entirely new gaming experience. The Raspberry Pi is an excellent replacement for the Minecraft server.

We show how to wirelessly control pan/tilt servos with an Arduino Yún and a Raspberry Pi.

With CherryPy and Python Remote Objects, you can run displays showing data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft.

One of the best ways to get started in HPC is to build your own cluster. The new Raspberry Pi 2 is a great system for getting started with high-performance computing.
