5 Useful Raspberry Pi Projects For Your Backyard

This subsequent challenge is nice for many who take pleasure in firing up the grill on the weekends and cooking underneath the open sky. There are a couple of totally different Raspberry Pi-based automated BBQ controllers on the market. Tempiture and PitmasterPi are each fashionable choices, however one of many extra trusted working programs is named HeaterMeter.

HeaterMeter lets you monitor and management BBQ people who smoke and grills on the Raspberry Pi itself, or by means of web-based automation. HeaterMeter makes use of a PID algorithm to routinely management pit temperature, regulate blower pace, and monitor as much as 4 probes on the identical time. You in all probability do not want one thing like this to grill a couple of burgers and canine, nevertheless it may very well be an actual lifesaver for meals like brisket that may take hours to cook dinner.

The DIY strategy to creating one in all these controllers includes making a 3D-printed enclosure and attaching an LCD show, sensor inputs, energy adapter, SD card, wi-fi USB adapter (if the Pi you might have does not include built-in wi-fi connectivity), a management output, and several other different equipment. But those that do not have entry to a 3D printer or who merely do not need to construct their very own from scratch should buy totally assembled kits too.

Ford Maverick Spy Shots Suggest High-Performance Model On The Way

We are aware that Ford has some plans for the Maverick. The company announced this earlier in the month, but did not provide any specifics. There have been ongoing rumors for over a year about a high-performance version of the small pickup, possibly labeled as ST. Now, new spy shots show a Maverick on the move with some interesting details on display.

This truck clearly has a customized exhaust system. Such modifications at the back are often seen on vehicles undergoing emissions testing. This suggests some kind of change under the hood, whether it’s more power or a different engine altogether. The most powerful Maverick currently has a turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, producing 250 horsepower. While it’s not slow, a modest power boost would make sense if we are indeed looking at a Maverick ST.

Volkswagen Teaser Could Be Tiguan, Promises “Something New” On June 15

We know Volkswagen has something cooking with the Tiguan. Numerous camouflaged prototypes have been caught on camera, using clever disguises to make the next-gen model look much like the current one. Now, a curious teaser video from Volkswagen shows a simple sketch of a vehicle against a blue background, and it could be our first taste of how the new SUV will look. Moreover, we may not have long to wait before learning more.

Posted as a YouTube short on the VW News channel, we get only a small clip showing white lines on a blue background. However, the menagerie of lines come together at times to show a vehicle. Our screengrab at the top of this article catches two prominent moments, showing the grille and a good portion of the front. One might think we’re looking at a car, but the outline of roof rails confirms this is something a bit bigger.

Volkswagen Teaser

Beyond the visuals, VW delivers a bit of interesting information as well. We’re promised “something new” which isn’t exactly a revelation here, but then a date of 15 June 2023 pops up. A quick glance at the calendar shows us that’s tomorrow as this article publishes. We haven’t heard anything regarding an imminent debut, so it’s unclear if we’re about to get full disclosure or some new information regarding future announcements.

If this is the next-gen Tiguan, we can expect a familiar overall shape that embodies an evolutionary approach to design. The fact that VW can apply stickers to various areas on prototypes to make them look like the current model means the formula won’t be shaken too much. We have identified smaller headlights, and we think a thinner upper grille is in store, augmented by a larger grille down low. The teaser video supports these theories, and previous spy photos have revealed a completely revamped interior with a larger tablet-like center display.

More news is coming soon, so stick with Motor1.com as we’ll have all the latest VW info as soon as it breaks.
