Copper Heatsink Test

Copper Heat sink test
Copper Heat sink test

Although some people agree that the Raspberry Pi 4 does not need any heatsink, with how it is designed, some circumstances require a bit of cooling.

When the Raspberry Pi 4 was tested by running at its full speed without a heatsink or any cooling device, the max temperature reached 70 degrees Celsius, while on the handbrake test, the temperature reached 74 degrees.

Well, this may not sound as alarming but imagine watching a video with its full quality capacity, and then it shuts down (it could) without warning. It’s better to be safe than sorry. With the heat sink, the max temperature was 58 degrees, and in the handbrake, it was 60 degrees. Not to mention, it is easy to connect the heatsink.

Haunted Jack in the box

A jack-in-the-box is one of the most frightening toys available. It’s always scary, no matter what time of year it is. Sean Hodgins took it a step further by automating it and making it work on its own. He used a 100:1 DC motor to turn the crank from the inside, and a Pi camera to detect victims in the vicinity.

Once the camera locks on to a face, the box cranks itself and eventually ejects the jester. As the spring takes most of the space inside the box, the electronics are housed in a custom 3D-printed base with a hole cut out for the camera’s eye.

This might not sound scarier, but imagine you are home alone and someone does this prank with you.

Art making typewriter

Art making typewriter

Artillect transformed an old 1980s typewriter into a retro-style computer terminal that prints everything as ASCII art. The typewriter keyboard works by using a matrix of rows and columns to detect key presses, and Artillect cleverly used an Arduino to simulate those presses by controlling the matrix.

The Arduino tricks the typewriter into typing specific characters. Connected to a Raspberry Pi running in headless mode, the Arduino converts text or commands sent via serial connection into key presses, allowing the typewriter to print them as terminal output. Instead of pixels, the output appears on paper as ASCII art.

A face-changing projection mask was designed to transform appearances by projecting various faces, including celebrities, fictional characters, or animations.

The setup includes a 3D-printed mask, a Raspberry Pi, a compact DLP projector, and a battery pack. The mask features a mount to hold the tiny projector, which connects to the Raspberry Pi.

This system allows users to display different videos and images on the mask, making it an innovative way to alter appearances and embody various personas.

This is the most compact cyberdeck on our list. Made using two different parts—the screen and the keyboard—it features a hinge, allowing the keyboard to fold down and cover the device.

Behind the 3.5-inch screen lies a Raspberry Pi Zero W, neatly enclosed inside a 3D printed frame. The cyberdeck runs on two 18,650 batteries placed behind the panel, just below the screen.

The keyboard fits into the case using magnetic phone mounts, and it’s a Bluetooth keyboard that simplifies the overall design and reduces the number of connecting wires.
