Projects
Project 1: Portable LattePanda Alpha Handheld Emulation/ Gaming Machine
Introduction: This author wanted to build a portable Emulation / Gaming Handheld using the LattePanda alpha and the new accessories like the Tian Case and EDP Touch Screen Display.
Project 2: I Used My Brain Waves to Play Minecraft (Mindcraft lol)
Introduction: In this video the author play minecraft with an EEG chip that detects my brain wave values (delta, theta, alpha, beta) and sends controller input to my computer based off of those values. So I'm able to control Minecraft with my mind and be hands free. It's actually kind of insane.
Project 3: LattePanda SBC is Being Used for Research
Introduction: It has now been featured in at least three academic studies that have particularly focused on implementing the LattePanda into different fields of science by means of incorporating a particular technological project which uses the LattePanda.
Project 4: CAPS Twenty.One Project
Introduction: For any audiophiles out there, this is a Computer Audiophile Pocket Server (CAPS) project, which incorporates an AlphaPanda as the main server and another PC as the endpoint. The exterior is a nice, sleek design featuring an old-school design for the guages which track the CPU’s statistics in real time, and all of this houses the AlphaPanda and other computer components that can optimize the efficiency of the AlphaPanda in its goal to become your sole music server, working in tandem with other audio equipment to make a wonderful sound studio for your home or entertainment theater!
