Raspberry Pi Pod and micro:bit base

Tutorial and code that uses the Minecraft API and Python to auto-create bridge blocks as you walk.

Raspberry Pi – Minecraft – Auto Bridge.

I love Instructable. Sometimes you get some really cool projects with really clear instructions.

Here’s another one! This is a project for Arduino and Raspberry Pi to make an Internet Radio.

“Raspberry Pi runs mpd music player daemon to receive and decode the internet radio stream. ALSA running on the Raspberry Pi provides the sound through either the Jack Socket or the HDMI output. Arduino runs a nanpy interface code to interface with Python, providing Text output of the Radio Station playing and Button inputs to control Playback.”

Exciting news from the Raspberry Pi Foundation today. They have granted a licence to Egoman Technology Corp to produce and distribute Pis in China and Taiwan. In order to distinguish between the Chinese models and the Rest of the World, they will be red in colour. Collectors in the Rest of the World will be unable to obtain them legally as they do not carry FCC/CE marks.

I daresay a black market will now spring up overnight. However, these boards are identical except for colour and the standards marks, so I wouldn’t get too excited about getting hold of one!

They’re very pretty though, aren’t they!

Interesting ‘beginners’ video of Foundation engineer Rob Bishop presenting the Raspberry Pi at BETT 2013. Once again he feels he needs to mention that he’s a paid member of staff (not too sure why there’s such a ‘thing’ about that!) but the rest of it is interesting as he goes through some beginners experiments with the GPIO.
