Stephen Phillips has written an extensive blog post on how to set your Pi up to play music using a networked hard drive and a mobile app to control it. Read about it here
Radio Pi driven by #RaspberryPi
Afraid I haven’t got a name for the author of this one, but it’s over on tweetypi.co.uk.
Here’s a nice little project – a birthday present. It’s an internet-enabled wireless radio made out of a LEES draught bitter box! Inside is the Raspberry Pi, some wireless speakers and a couple of buttons to control the unit. Visual output is through an ever-popular 16×2 LCD display. Read more about this project here
Get started with #RaspberryPi and Arduino for only $12
I don’t normally promote non-Pi crowdfunding, but given how many people were interested in the Arduino at the Jam on Saturday, I wanted to show you this.
It’s a project to build a non-profit Arduino Leonardo compatible board. Normally, you’d pay about $30-$35 for a Leonardo. Borderless Electronics are running an Indiegogo project to create a compatible board for $12 delivered. This is extraordinary value and if you want to get started with Arduino, this could be the opportunity to do it ‘on the cheap’.
It’s already been funded and you have 25 days to back it. See more info about the project here.
Notes from the Foundation from the Cambridge #RaspberryJam
Fantastic stuff from Liz. She’s just blogged about the team’s visit to the Jam on Saturday. Read all about it here
Another Cambridge #RaspberryJam write-up :-)
Frank Carver, who went to the Raspberry Jam on Saturday and runs the blog Raspberry Alpha Omega has done a quick write-up of the event. Read it here
Cambridge Raspberry Jam – lots of #RaspberryPi goodness!
Jonathan Pallant presented at the Cambridge Raspberry Jam on Saturday. He’s done an excellent write-up of the event and put up lots of pics. Thanks Jonathan! Inspires me to do my own write-up. I haven’t got quite as many pics but I want to throw something together to sum up what was a very successful event.
