Build a digital catalogue for your trading and collectible cards using a Raspberry Pi, a Lego‑based platform, and AWS services. Story When I uncovered a box of Magic: The Gathering cards, I wondered how many I owned and what they were worth. Manually logging each card would have been tedious, so I

The Smart Waste Bin is an IoT‑enabled solution that uses multiple sensors to monitor bin status in real‑time, preventing overflows and reducing environmental impact. Story Content guidelines Context Effective waste management is crucial for protecting our planet. In public spaces and natural reserv

A pan/tilt servo system that automatically tracks color objects using computer vision. Story Introduction In the previous tutorial we learned how to control a pan/tilt servo to position a Raspberry Pi camera. Today we’ll extend that setup so the camera can autonomously track a colored object. This i

A robust solution that captures a wearer’s heart rate in real time and notifies caregivers when the reading deviates from a predefined safe window. Background The objective of this project is to continuously monitor a patient’s heart rate and trigger an alert if the value falls outside a clinically

Build a compact weather station that accurately measures temperature, pressure, humidity, and altitude right in your living space.
