If a picture says a thousand words, then our HD 1080p videos are jam packed with endless educational goodness. Explore electronics, learn how to use the "Internet of Things", checkout new products and stay on the cusp of the maker movement. We're here to help, so don't forget to comment on our videos and say hi in the forum.
A voltage divider can be thought of as a voltage "scaler". We choose certain resistor values to give the voltage divider a scaling factor. The voltage divider then takes in a voltage, and then uses that scaling factor to output a lower voltage Read More
In this tutorial we will be installing and running YOLO pose estimation on the Raspberry Pi 5, as well as exploring how to optimise the model to run smoothly on the Pi, how to run other models like YOLOv8, and how to take the pose estimation o Read More
In this quick start guide, we will be setting up a Raspberry Pi AI Camera in less than 3 minutes. The AI Camera is a standard-sized Pi camera module with a twist, it has a dedicated AI accelerator chip on it to help with computer vision tasks Read More
Learn how to run face recognition on a Raspberry Pi with OpenCV and the face recognition library. We will cover how to install the required packages and libraries, how to take photos and train the model, and how to control hardware with the de Read More
In this tutorial, we will get the YOLO object detection model running a Raspberry Pi 5 with OpenCV and the COCO Library. We will be looking at how to set up YOLOv8, learning how to run other YOLO models such as YOLOv5 and YOLOv10, learning how Read More
Humans are often a vital part of any maker project, and there are a lot of ways to interface a human with them. Some good, some bad, some obscure, and some you may not think about - all of these are covered in this video of the maker workshop Read More
Raspberry Pi has just announced the Pico 2, the latest in their line of affordable microcontrollers. The original Pico was a great addition to the maker world and in this video, we are going to see what this next generation brings and what it Read More
In this video, we will be learning how to set up a Raspberry Pi in kiosk mode - meaning our Pi will automatically and seamlessly boot into a fullscreen webpage. This provides us humans with an elegant way to interact with the web, whether it's Read More
In this video, we will try to convince YOU why sewing is an extremely underrated and underutilised skill and why it is an essential maker skill to have alongside other standard skills such as knowing how to program an Arduino, CAD modeling, an Read More
In this video, we will be taking a look at System Integration for maker projects. System integration is when all the individual parts of your project come together, and things that worked in isolation may not work together, and unforeseen issu Read More
In this video we will be taking a look at why getting multiple boards to communicate and work together is an essential maker skill, taking a look at some of the different ways that we can do this wired and wirelessly, and the pros and cons of Read More
In this video of the zero-to-maker workshop, we are taking a look at casting a moulding - a niche but extremely powerful tool for your maker toolbox. We will be looking at how to make your own silicon moulds as well as casting resin into the m Read More
This is it! The final video of the Pico Workshop and we are going to wrap things up by taking a look at what you can do now that we are finished. Read More
In this video of the Pico Workshop, we are taking a look at some helpful MicroPython Code that could be vital to your next project. We will take a look at functions to measure the passing of time, multiple ways of running parallel code and mor Read More
In this video of the Zero to Maker Workshop, we will go through the 3 steps of designing a PCB in KiCAD. First, we will lay out our board schematic, as well as create some custom component schematics, then we will assign footprints (also makin Read More
Now that we have a template that can serve a web page and handle requests that are returned, lets take a look at how to improve that web page. In this video, we will be adding some more simple elements, better handling the requests by breaking Read More
Now that we can connect the Pico to a wireless network, in this video we will learn how to host a web page. With this web page, we will be able to create interactive elements to control the Pico with and send sensor data from the Pico to the w Read More
In this video, we will start with the most important step of all this - connecting a Pico to a Wi-Fi network. In this beginning step, we will also explore another capability of the Pico - connecting to the internet. This isn't going to allow y Read More
In this chapter of the Pico Workshop, we are diving into the wireless capabilities of the Pico W and WH. With this chapter, we are no longer bound by having data stored locally and we can now send and receive data through networks. While there Read More
There are 2 ways to avoid making bad mechanical design choices. 1 you create a mathematical model and run computer simulations to determine what the most optimal choice is, or 2 you make a design choice, realise it's a bad choice, and learn no Read More
