Bread Board for Hardware Hacking

Just following my bliss…

I bought my 2nd WebCam, USB Audio Card, USB WiFi with Soft AP, a Mic, Wire kit and a Bread Board.   Let’s see what happens when we mix it with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

Starting my Make-a-week habit.

#RaspberryPi Spy : RPi + Wheezy + motion + WebCam

Raspberry + webcam Sample Shot

A sample shot of a cheap webcam attached to RPi.  Not bad for surveillance camera alternative. Using Raspberry Pi (UK) B 512mb with 2G SD Card as boot to USB 16G Toshiba Thumbdrive and CDR-King WebCam.

And while I’m waiting for my busted Powered USB hub to be fixed… I’ll park my WiPi and SmartBro 3G/GSM USB Modem for awhile.

HDMI to VGA adapter for Samsung Ultrabook Series 5

It works well with old LCD projectors using Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 8.   You can find it in a small Kiosk near Octagon inside Cyberzone SM Megamall. It has chip to convert the HDMI digital signal to analog VGA. Unlike other adapters, it doesn’t need external power supply to operate.

Update 20130801: Works well with Raspberry Pi, tried and tested ^_^
