One of the exciting projects with the Raspberry Pi and the camera used to be the timelapse video.
And it has been the main reason I bought a camera and a case fit for timelapse.

ESP8266 gallery
The ESP8266 is one of the game changing building blocks of the Internet of Things. It can serve many purposes with its Wifi functionality and has enough I/O facilities to replace an Arduino or Raspberry. Strictly 3.3V, and a bit powerhungry for battery use. Read More
Arduino kits, components, I/O components, sensors
To get to know the Arduino world better I have bought from ebay two kits: 37 in 1 sensor kit and an Arduino kit. Nice boxes with an interesting array of components to get me started! Read More
Arduino R3 cases
I use several Arduino cases during my experiments, available from ebay for a couple of dollars, made of acrylic clear plastic. Here I show you two of my favorites.

Raspberry Pi boxes
With all the different revisions and the two major supplier it will come as no surprise the packaging has varied quite a bit. I have kept the boxes of my Raspberry Pi’s, shown here.

Cases and my Raspberry Pi’s
Starting with the announcement in 2011 and the fist available batch of B’s in 2012 my collection of Pi’s covers most revisions. I tend to case the Pi. Some protection of the bare board seems reasonable. What I look for in cases is: – low price! Some US and European vendors ask ridiculous prices for a bit of acrylic laser cut of low quality. The Chinese are good at that, see ebay! – access to all the connectors like the camera and display and the GPIO connector. – I like to see the internals of the Pi, so acrylic clear cases. – If the cover can be opened easily its a big bonus. That is rare alas. – Clam black shell looks more professional, I have one to show here and some on their way. Raspberry Pi 2011 Model B no fitting holes 256MB. First batch! 
Model B fitting holes 256MB. Gets very hot after some experiments, the ventilator helps! 
Model B fitting holes 512MB. Camera on top, can be rotated and tilted and folded in for transport . Great for time lapse or webcam/security cam purposes. Case bought from Reichelt Germany, also avaiable via Velleman.. 
Model B+, waiting for a better case! 
RPi 2 Model B. First one is in clamshell case, second one is mounted on the back of the DSI Touchscreen 7″ display. 
Model A, first batch 
Model A+ 
Joey, a kickstarter little LED board
I backed another kickstarter aimed at the Raspberry: Joey This can be very handy as a troubleshooting aid on a headerless project! Funded at November 6th!
Remote access to/from Raspberry Pi
On this page I will show you how to access the Raspberry Pi in a Windows environment:
– acces the home directory on the Pi with sftp
– How to access Windows machines by name
– access via PuTTY
– access via Remote desktop client XRDP
– setting up a shared folder on the Raspberry Pi via Samba
– accessing a shared folder on the network via Samba
– use Bonjour to resolve names
Install FPC and Lazarus
A page describing how to get the latest Freepascal and Lazarus development systems on all versions of the Raspberry Pi and Raspbian wheezy and jessie in optimal format, targeted at ARMV6 and ARMV7.
First steps with the Raspberry Pi 2 and the new touchscreen
Not my first steps with the Raspberry Pi, I owned my first Pi since 2012, one of the first batch produced. Now I have acquired a Raspberry Pi 2 B with the official 7″ touchscreen display, the latest and greatest and plan to do a lot of projects with Raspberry Pi’s and Arduino’s. I run wheezy (just to let jessie come of age, until the users get used to it and share information, and the annoying bugs are solved.
