The SmartiPi Twist is a Raspberry Pi on a stick that is gonna light your camera projects up.

KKSB were kind enough to send me two of their Raspberry Pi cases to try out. They were designed in Sweden and consist of a full metal enclosure to protect your Raspberry Pi from knocks and scrapes. They might be designed for industrial environments but I think it makes a great case for any Pi user.

There maybe times when you want to view a photo from the Raspbian command line. This can be done with a utility called “fbi”. It can also create slideshows.

Now I’ve got a few MotionEyeOS based cameras around the house I wanted an easier way to know when they were rebooted and also have a link on my phone to make it easier to access the camera feed. I’ve got the excellent Pushover app on my phone so I decided to get MotionEyeOS to send Pushover notifications whenever it restarted.

The DHT11 is a low-cost temperature and humidity sensor. It isn’t the fastest sensor around but its cheap price makes it useful for experimenting or projects where you don’t require new readings multiple times a second. The device only requires three connections to the Pi. +3.3v, ground and one GPIO pin.

ScummVM is a program which allows you to play some classic graphical point-and-click adventure and role-playing games. Some of these games are completely free to download or available for a low cost. This allows you to play a selection of games on your Raspberry Pi.
