Raspberry Pi Security Camera

I found tutorial website [https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-webcam-server/] that explained to me how to do it.

Things you will need
-Raspberry pi
-Usb Webcam
-Display
-Mouse and Keyboard

Starting

-Before starting type these command on terminal update the raspberry pi to the latest version
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
-There might be a package that is already installed, so type this command


sudo apt-get remove libavcodec-extra-56 libavformat56 libavresample2 libavutil54
-Download this packages by inserting the commands to terminal
wget https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/precompiled/ffmpeg_3.1.1-1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i ffmpeg_3.1.1-1_armhf.deb
-We also need to install this package
wget https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/download/release-4.0.1/pi_jessie_motion_4.0.1-1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i pi_jessie_motion_4.0.1-1_armhf.deb
-Then install motion
sudo apt-get install Motion
-After you installed motion we have to edit the config file. Type the following command into the terminal
sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf
-Find the following line and change it
  • daemon on
  • stream_localhost off
  • Note: Change the following two lines from on to off if you’re having issues with the stream freezing whenever motion occurs.
  • output_pictures off
  • ffmpeg_output_movies off
  • Optional (Don’t include the text in brackets)
  • stream_maxrate 100 (This will allow for real-time streaming but requires more bandwidth & resources)
  • framerate 100 (This will allow for 100 frames to be captured per second allowing for smoother video)
  • width 640 (This changes the width of the image displayed)
  • height 480 (This changes the height of the image displayed)
-Now we have to edit the motion file
sudo nano /etc/default/motion
-Then fix the line to this
start_motion_daemon=yes
-After you've done that we can finally start our Security Camera.
connect the USB webcam to raspberry pi and type following command
sudo service motion start
-If you need to stop type the following command
sudo service motion stop
-Now you can see the webcam being stream on your pi's ip address
https://ip:8081
-If you think that the webcam is not working type the following command

sudo service motion restart

How to make a very simple crystal radio

Image
Crystal Radio. I have created a crystal radio just using one germanium diode and a magnet wire and will also need a crystal earpiece or you can us audio amplifier. (I use germanium diode because this diode has low voltage rating then other diodes) When my radio receive the signal from the air it is alternating current, but our diode rectifies the AC signal and only allow the positive signal pass through. Finally the signal goes through the ear piece or the amplifier  so that the human ear can hear. First step to create this is to wind a coil on a 10cm box and you will connect the end of the coil to the antenna and germanium diode. After that you will connect your crystal earpiece(amplifier) to the other side of the diode and connect the other side of the ear piece to the other side of the coil and to the ground(you can use your body as ground).

Broken Jump rope counter

Image
I had a jump rope with a counter on it. One day it didn't work. So I took the jump rope apart and then negative side was not connected to PCB so I connected. I also added a cheating button. This process took a lot of time for me beacuse the wires would not fit in. I noticed that the LCD display isn't connected by any wires. I think the pink thing has like little wires in them so if u attach it sends data. Unfortunately, I accidently took off the pink stuff from the display. So I couldn't fix the jump rope.
