There are many, way too many things you can do with a Rapberry Pi. After all, it is a computer, a full fledged linux computer with GPIOs. Following are some essential tools or applications with this credit-card size computer. There are a lot more, and I will post them later. This is done with Arch Linux, it should be applicable to other systems though.

This instruction is based on two following sites: http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html http://teanazar.com/2015/10/securing-wdmycloud-ssh-ftp-remote-access/
First thing first, change the wdmycloud default root password.The default password is welc0me. The least you can do is to change this one to something more reasonable. If you were to monitor the incoming request especially to the SSH port 22 alone, you’ll be shocked to see lots of ...
Kivy (from official site)- Open source Python library for rapid development of applications that make use of innovative natural user interfaces (NUI), such as multi-touch apps.
Following is mainly taken from Richardson Git link and modified for Arch Linux.
Installation It takes quite a while for Raspberry PI since it takes quite a few dependencies. As ...

PlatformIO is a python tool to build and upload sketches for multiple Hardware Platforms, at the moment of writing these are Arduino/AVR based boards. This is the only tool working with Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux so far, and I have been searching for some tool like this for a long time.
NB: The over-bearing minion is there because every time my little one sees it, she giggles.

Instructions for setting up touch display with Raspberry Pi running Arch linux. This is a brand-new release using DSI display port.
Follow instruction here to setup, and also Video Instruction here There is a official mechanical drawing in case you needed. Remember to make a full system upgrade to enable the touch screen driver (in my case, both for Arch ...
It is always fascinating when the virtual reality starts to compete with real world, particularly when one can track user’s locomotion, head movement, gestures, EEG and vital statistics etc. Here is just a little teaser project about virtual reality.
There is always different ways to achieve the same goal. This is very true in programming, so is in life. Most times we like to think there is only one way – our way.
This is a good tutorial for this subject and Arduino Experimenter’s Guide for NodeJS.

In the process of developing a device, we come across a situation that we needed a responsive way to abort the device; However Arduino will be stuck in the middle of loop and only response after that, esp when the only communication to Arduino is via a serial port. We have adapted a very wasteful way of putting the whole ...
[update] Platformio is a better way!
There are two major ways to compile and upload sketch files to Arduino: a. use IDEs (Arduino IDE, Emacs IDE, Fritzing or ArduIDE). or b. use a terminal. Arch official site explains well, however, most of it does not apply to RasPi with Arch Linux. It DOES work with regular ...
