TheRaspberryPiGuy on YouTube shares his design of a Pi Zero powered DIY skateboard that is controlled with a Nintendo Wiimote over Bluetooth, and is capable of going 30km/h. Visit the YouTube page for details of the parts used to construct the skateboard, and the Python code for the project is posted on a GitHub page. In the following video, you can see TheRaspberryPiGuy racing around Cambridge with his skateboard.

A very interesting Instructables from GreatScottLab showing how to make a handheld game console for retro games using Raspberry Pi Zero, a rearview LCD, and an audio amplifier. The console runs of NiMH rechargeable batteries supported by a self-made over-discharge protection circuit. The project uses recalboxOS, a light embedded system created to run on the Raspberry Pi platform. The instructable is divided in to two videos: the first video shows the connections among the parts and the second one describes the enclosure for the game console.

The Raspberry Pi computer has proven to be a great choice for building DIY arcade stations and playing retro games. With the program called RetroPie, you can easily turn your Raspberry Pi into a retro-gaming machine by just plugging in a screen and a keyboard. RetroPie builds upon Raspbian, EmulationStation, RetroArch and many other projects to enable you to play your favourite Arcade, home-console, and classic PC games with the minimum set-up. Bob Clagett from iliketomakestuff.com shows in his step-by-step-guide how to make a neat Raspberry Pi arcade table with no programming skills. You will need a Raspberry Pi computer board (obviously), an

With a lot of horse power built in, Raspberry Pi can do a lot of interesting things with audio such as creating artificial sound effects, synthesizing music, etc. PiOSCBOX is a similar low-cost project to build a stand-alone audio effects processor and synthesizer using Raspberry Pi 3 and an external USB sound card. The project features an interactive user interface using a 128×64 graphic LCD and six rotary encoders. The audio processing and synthesizing requires heavy DSP capabilities, which are implemented using Pure Data. Pure Data is an open source visual programming language for musicians and artists to create a software to generate audio/video effects and 2D/3D graphics.

Most Raspberry Pi based cameras we have seen so far can take either photo, video or both. But Nick Brewer’s Raspberry Pi Zero camera is little different. It’s a fully customizable 3D printed camera using the Raspberry Pi camera with the capability to take short animated GIFs. The camera runs off a 2500mAH LiPO battery using Adafruit’s PowerBoost 500 charger board. The hardware is controlled with a bunch of softwares including PiCamera, GraphicsMagick, and GifCam. The 3D-printed case for the camera is neat and recalls the days of the disposable cameras. Everything about this camera is designed to be modified. Want the
