From the Foundation:
This video of the closing panel discussion from last month’s Raspberry Jamboree has just appeared, and if you’re interested in applications of the Pi in schools, it’s well worth your time. If you want to find out more about the successful teaching of Computing in schools, this is a great place to start.
For more details about the discussion, please go over to the Foundation website so you can watch the video.
David Whale has done a tutorial on creating a very cheap Arduino clone that you could use with your Raspberry Pi for doing things like analog inputs, or anything else you can find in an Arduino book. Read more here
Here’s a simple how-to from Christian Cawley on installing an MPEG2 licence key on your Raspberry Pi. Read it here
Pierre Raufast has created a ‘magic mirror’ that will recognise you and respond accordingly. The Foundation asked him if he had documentation. He didn’t but then spent some time doing so. Read all about it on his blog
Daniel Bull’s excellent GPIO control software for the Raspberry Pi, BerryIO, has just had a major release that improves the user interface. Now on version 1.8.1, BerryIO is one of the more mature GPIO controllers and is the best one out there in terms of functionality and look-and-feel. Get it from the FrozenMist website and start toggling those switches!
Chris Swan has been experimenting with a Raspberry Pi-controlled water bath cooker and has just finished munching on the “Best Roast Beef ever” – a tri-tip cut of meat. Read more here
