Amazing projects direct from social media | #MagPiMonday

Every Monday we ask the question: have you made something with a Raspberry Pi over the weekend? Every Monday, our followers send us amazing photos and videos of the things they’ve made.

Here’s a selection of some of the awesome things we got sent this month – and remember to follow along at the hashtag #MagPiMonday!!

01. Once again thinking we need to make some Pomodoro stuff for ourselves

various components related to a gaming controller. Here are the key details: The main body of the controller is grey and consists of two halves. The top half has a rectangular cavity for housing the internal electronics. There are four colorful buttons (green, blue, yellow, red), similar to those found on game controllers. A small green circuit board with several electronic components attached is visible. Two white analog thumbsticks and their corresponding modules are present. A black square component, possibly a screen or display unit, is among the items. Several wires in different colors are scattered around the other components. Additionally, there’s a humorous note at the bottom: “Trying to squeeze all that into a ‘snes’ controller.”

02. A mini synthesizer you can plug into your laptop via Raspberry Pi Zero? Love it

The photo you shared depicts a small white robot. Here are the key details: The robot has a simplistic design, with two arms, two legs, and a head. It appears to be made of plastic. There is an icon above the robot’s head, possibly indicating that it might be interactive or electronic. The background is dark, suggesting that the photo was taken on a table or another flat surface. The accompanying text message explains that this particular robot uses Raspberry Pi as its main controller and is designed for educational/home use. It is described as a 10-axis robot.

03. Very cute robot, and ten axes is a lot of movement

The photo depicts a small white robot named Cubie-1. Here are the key details: The robot has a cubic structure with its internal wiring and components partially exposed. It is equipped with four wheels made of a soft, orange material. The body of the robot is primarily light blue with white edges and features intricate designs on the sides. There’s a black cylindrical object mounted on top of the robot, which might be a sensor or camera for mapping environments. In the background, there’s an office setting visible with what appears to be computer equipment and cables. Additionally, the accompanying text message explains that this particular robot uses Raspberry Pi as its main controller and is designed for educational/home use. It is described as a 10-axis robot.

04. A robot that maps its environment is very smart

The photo depicts a custom-built timer device named “Raspidoro”. Here are the key details: The Raspidoro timer is intricately designed and displays the time “22:28” along with moon phases indicating the progression of the timer. It is built with yellow and black Kin’x building toys, forming its structure. A Pimoroni Display Hat mini is embedded in the structure to display time and other information. The timer is placed on a desk beside a keyboard, with an office chair and window in the background. Outside the window, buildings and trees are visible, suggesting it’s daytime. The accompanying text explains that this device helps maintain focus by implementing custom timers and prompts for breaks, including stretch and exercise breaks as well as standing work sessions at a standing desk. It ensures both focus and self-care.

05. Adding Raspberry Pi to your other hobbies is a rite of passage

06. This is a cool idea to add VGA output to Pico

07. We’ve done that before! Although not the screen part. Good luck
