Christian Perone has blogged about his experiments using a laser light emitted by an Arduino and a detection circuit using a light dependent resistor (LDR) with a Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi & Arduino: a laser pointer communication and a LDR voltage sigmoid | Pyevolve.
Penguin Tutor has set-up a Code Club at a primary school and is using Raspberry Pis to help teach them programming. This is a fantastic, realistic write-up of the benefits and pitfalls of using Pis in schools.
Just a quickie. Over at raspberrywebserver.com, they’ve blogged a way to do a backup to your Google Drive. This only backs up one folder (which can have files, sub-folders etc) but is a neat little solution if you want a good backup service
Everyday Linux User has blogged a load of cheat sheets for using Linux. Please take a look at these if you use the command line as these are very good indeed.
