The micro:bit Foundation newsletter is a rich source of new projects, tutorials and news about the micro:bit. This week, they’ve announced 3, 15-minute video project guides as follows. Take a look – let me know what you think of them!…
This is lovely and also a great micro:bit resource. The folks over at Kitronik have written a detailed explanation of how to build this great London Eye and turbine station model over on their blog. It uses their All-in-One Robotics…
Getting started with robotics is always tricky. For Raspberry Pi robotics, I always point people at the Pi Wars Hints and Tips guide. For micro:bit, however, you might find this guide a great place to start to build the robot…
Here goes… my first micro:bit post. 🙂 I asked on Twitter whether there were any blogs out there for the micro:bit. I was sent a few links to various different sites (although, curiously, very few with an RSS feed that…
Hi everyone. I’ve just given a talk on getting into robotics at the Preston Raspberry Jam and I promised I would publish the notes and slides. They’re both PDFs and should, if I’ve done it right (!), include plenty of…
At The Minories Galleries in Colchester, something is travelling on the wind. Sound artist Frazer Merrick has taken a set of wind chimes and connected them up to a Makey Makey board. The Makey Makey is then connected to a…
Young programmer Luke Spademan has built up a CamJam EduKit 3: Robotics kit and, after first of all using the excellent worksheets written by Tim Richardson, then converted it so that the Raspberry Pi inside the box can be controlled…
Sandy Macdonald, over at Pimoroni, has blogged a lovely project to insert a Raspberry Pi 3A+ into the recently-released Raspberry Pi keyboard. It involves soldering, cutting, grinding and a fair bit of messing about, but the result is well worth…
Pierre-yves Baloche has done a great write-up of his current project. He’s taken a Raspberry Pi and Pi TV HAT and created a TV recorder. He’s used a WD Pi-Drive and a spare Pi Zero case to house the HAT,…
Andy Warburton has taken his initial concept of a Raspberry Pi-powered nightlight and re-invented it using an ESP8266 board. The ESP8266 (which you can find on, for example, the Wemos D1 mini) is a marvellous chip which is Arduino IDE-compatible…
